will somebody set up a league/the games for us my user name is sovietsong Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: Moskvich on July 23, 2007, 08:39:23 PM I'll play.
Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: sovietsong on July 23, 2007, 08:54:23 PM someone challenge me ! doesnt have to be part of the league...just for fun!
Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: kinboshi on July 23, 2007, 09:06:03 PM OK - looks like we have the interest.
Next question, do we play games that last several days (or longer), or restrict it to quick games of say 30 minutes in length? http://www.redhotpawn.com is good for the longer games, but not suited for the quick game - which is probably what we're after? Looking around, Yahoo! Chess seems to be the easiest to use for quick games. Anyone else know of any others? Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: sovietsong on July 23, 2007, 09:13:57 PM on gameknot i play 3 day move limits and its fine if we have a couple of games on the go at once!
would we be able to do a league in which we each challenged each other to home and away (white&black) and do 1 point for a win -1 for a loss and 0 for a draw? that way we would have quite a few games going so the 3 day limit would be fine! Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: Linux on July 23, 2007, 09:54:42 PM ill play, iv been wiping the floor with kin lately.

Post by: Zukertort on July 24, 2007, 11:10:38 AM I was introduced to the delights of poker 3 years ago by a fellow chess player at a county game. By the way his name is Ian McDonald who cashed in 453rd at this years main event-nice one Ian! Got the bug and last year gave up playing live chess to concentrate on poker, although i still play correspondance chess. So i'm up for a game or two if you have any places left?
Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: kinboshi on July 24, 2007, 11:39:49 AM Not started anything yet - just gauging the interest (which seems to be decent enough).
If we have a league or a tournament going, it might be best to play timed 'lightning' chess games, rather than those that give a day for a move. Interestingly enough, I came to poker from a chess background as well, I bet quite a few have. Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: Bodddders on July 24, 2007, 12:08:32 PM Not played for quite a few years now but interested if your looking for more players.
Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: kinboshi on July 24, 2007, 01:10:05 PM Excellent - just noticed that Redhotpawn does offer blitz chess (as in games that are measured in minutes rather than days).
:)up Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: Jon MW on July 24, 2007, 01:27:25 PM I'd be interested, but it'd have to be the blitz variety because I couldn't always guarantee to remember to come back and finish a game if it was over more than one day.

kinboshi is my name (how imaginative?). http://www.redhotpawn.com/profile/playerprofile.php?uid=379402 Click on that and challenge me to a game (best to set any games to 1 day to move, 3 days timebank). :)up Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: mjrevie on July 27, 2007, 12:41:05 PM If anyone wants to start a game on redhotpawn.com, i've got an open game. handle is mjtr80.
Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: Sark79 on August 07, 2007, 11:04:20 AM Are there any sites that offer chess games for money? I am not interested, just curious :D . As a Kid I played in a few chess tournaments, but that was years ago.
Title: Re: Blonde Chess! Post by: AceofWands on August 07, 2007, 08:50:50 PM The thing that completely kills playing chess online for money is that fact that for a few quid you can buy a computer program for your PC that can play better than all but a handful of players in world.
