Anybody else play online chess?

Now that I`m unemployed and have internet access, I`m playing again. I play on yahoo.com, but I`ll play anywhere that has free registration. Anybody who`s interested post here, and hopefully we can set some games up!

sounds sweet! I'll play

Will have to register at yahoo probably.

My yahoo name is thegreatfamdagger, and I'm mostly always up for a game.

Lets use footbagchat as the place to set up games

. Ken and I tried to play today but managed to just miss each other - ie. Ken would see me online and send me a message but I'd leave just before getting it. Come back read the message and reply just as he left. We didn't play

I'd play. I didn't know you could play on Yahoo (MSN Zone sux)

Oh shit, its on! I`d give my left nut to play HDS...

I played a few games today with Jeremy O, Sandwraith, and Brian. It was wicked fun, real chill environment.

Anybody pm me when you see im online and you want to get a game.

You should try playing Kung Fu Chess. non-turnbased chess, customizable games (no delay four-player chess is simply insane)

There are other fun games on the site too, like word ninja (non-turnbased scrabble and sumo volleyball.)

Had anyone played "Archon" (old computer game)?

It was like chess, but when a piece was "taken", the pieces would battle, with the winner surviving on the square.

If you were on a square that was the color of your team (purple or grey), then you had more hitpoints than if on an opposing square.

That game kicked ass, because a lowly Orc(pawn) could chase down a Wizard("King") and beat him ( if you were good).

-----------------------------------

I'd love to play ya, C-Fan. Chess is a good game for geniuses like us.
(i do prefer hold-em)

I haven't tried to play on Yahoo yet.

I used to play that game alot, but its been a long time. I remember thinking that the unicorn was the best, but yeah, those little Orcs with their big clubs were pretty cool. I wish I could remember the game better, but it doesn't seem quite fair to compare it to chess. You could win Archon almost every time, even if your chess-playing was terrible, as long as you could out-fight the computer in the combat sequences.

ugh!! I hate that Yahoo chess interface. The board is tiny, I dont hear a "ding" after each move.
It's hard to even tell when the other guy makes a move.

It makes MSN chess look like Karpov's house.

This site has a board you can resize, and an easier interface.

Except you probably have to pay to get a reusable username.
And it takes a long time to load.

While it's true that the board won't resize, sound and 'last move highlight' options can be toggled on the left hand side. How high is your resolution to find that board too small?

Edit: You up for a game now? I'm guest3138 right now on the service you suggested.

HighDemonslayer · Post by **HighDemonslayer** » 18 Aug 2005 17:22

Thanks i'll try that. My res. looks best at 1400* 1000 but its small.

Theres this really good chess game called Chess Rally. To bad you had to pay for online play after 30 days. It was really good!

I play on yahoo almost never, but if you want to play, I'm Bander_87

I just played and beat Ken. I am now the official modified chess champion. No discussion of this will be entered into.

(for the record games between Ken and I are something like 6-1 and I'm like neo...)

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 06 Sep 2005 20:34

Indeed, I was humbled badly.

But "modified chess champion" got me thinking... wouldn`t it be cool to have a tournament? We could set up dates, have pools, etc.

Anybody interested?

Colin · Post by **Colin** » 07 Sep 2005 14:56

I'm in.

david · Post by **david** » 07 Sep 2005 15:00

I'm in, but there has to be some sort of crown involved.

BUMP

Does anyone still play online?, I stopped playing over 3 years ago, but I'm kinda getting back into it. I really suck now, but if anyone ever wants to play on pogo, PM me.

janis · Post by **janis** » 22 Jun 2007 15:53

occasionally,
PM me if you are interested in a game.

I'll be offline for a few weeks, but after then I'll be up for a game.
