Who wants to play a game of chess?
[White Garnasha][Black not specified] 1. e4 Or if you want to be white
[White not specified][Black Garnasha] You sign up by making a move using chess tags, quote this post and strip the quote tags, text and board(s) you're not playing if you're lazy or don't know how the tags work. Please fill in your own name instead of not specified.
Seeing as this game goes slow, I will prolly be able to play multiple games. It is mandatory you at least include the black and white tags so games don't get mixed up. Also, I would highly appreciate the use of Algebraic notation, you can leave the move numbers out, though they do make the game easier to read and prevent errors.

[mith]

I'll play as black. Or both, unless you want to play multiple games against different people. (And I can just edit your post, because I'm l33t like that.) I'm a bit rusty and have been meaning to get back into chess.

Erhm... I planned to use that first post as a mould other players could copy into their post. It's ok with me to play in one post, but not post 0. Restored my post and added a chessboard with my move on it in your post. Let's play there so other players can use my post to

copy paste

quote crop.

*addit (combination of added and edit)*Also, bwech, sicilian is not really my favorite. Always been too lazy to go learning openings, so don't know how to play it, and it's got like a dozen varieties. Luckily, you don't have to really know it to play it: moves that feel sound usually are.*addit*

2. ...d6

[Battle Mage]

is it true that if Mith loses at Chess, the whole site goes down for 72 hours?

[mith]

Something like that.

[TylerJ]

New game

1)e4...
[White TylerJ][Black Garnasha] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d3 Bb4 5. Bd2 d5 6. Bg5 d4 7. Bf6

[Andycyca]

I didn't know we had chess tags here... impressive.

And no, mith losing results in modkill.

[Garnasha]

modkill seems so... unfair. If you can't stand it you lost, keep it limited to grudgelynches. btw.

Vote: mith

for playing an opening that is way too common and very annoying .

3. ...cxd4

(OMGUS.)

[bubka]

Can I request a game with mith?
I like his name...

Garnasha: you don't have to request that, just put a board in your post with the players specified. Of course, you still have to make sure the other person wants to play with you. I'll put a board here for you: (btw. whee, moddie colors xD)

[White mith][Black bubka]

[mith]

Sure thing, just start a thread.

[Garnasha]

He doesn't even have to start a thread mith, just edit his post.

[mith]

He doesn't *have* to, but it would be less confusing. I'll leave that up to him. As well as whether he wants white or black. If I'm white, 1. d4.

Garnasha: 4. ...Nf6

[TylerJ]

2. Nf3...

[Garnasha]

Tyler, please edit that into the chess tags in your first post.

[mith]

5. ...g6

[bubka]

I'll go for a new thread, as soon as someone tells me how to operate the chess tags.
Meanwhile, 1. ...a6

@Tyler: You don't need dots after white's moves

[mith]

bubka:

Code: Select all

[chess][White mith][Black bubka]
1. d4 a6
2. e4
[/chess]

You can just add moves in Algebraic notation... the chess tags are l33t like that.

(And 2. e4 is my move, not just an example.)

[TylerJ]

@Tyler: You don't need dots after white's moves

really? I've always done that.

[TylerJ]

a6 as your first move? Interesting opening. I've seen a7 and more common, b6 but never a6.

[Snix]

[White Elmo][Black Snix] 1. e4 2. e5 Nc3 Nf6 Nf3 Bd6 Bb5 a5 d3 c6 Bc4 b5 Bg5 Bb4 O-O O-O Ne5 Re8 Bxf7 Kh8 Ng4 d6 Bxe8 Qxe8 Nxf6 Qe7 Qf3 Nd7 Nxd7 Qxd7

Yeah, that's fine. I'll be pretty cool if you change moves that I haven't seen as long as you're honest about it. don't go moving pieces back after you realize they are screwed.

[Elmo]

I would, but I need someone who sucks as badly as me.

Any takers? Free win!

[Snix]

I suck probably more than you...

[Khelvaster]

If you have problems with the Sicilian, why don't you play the Alapin variation against it?
