To enter, you need a Chess.com account and friend all the members, since I'll set up a round robin compition rather than a bracket, so you will play all other members at least once. Also, make sure you do an online chess game, and not a live game.

[Dr. Javelin]

i think i tried something like this, but it died out pretty quickly

i don't think there's enough people here who are interested in chess

 

[Nabber]

I suck at chess, but I'll play anyway.

 

[Tantusar]

As will I.

EDIT: Although, I'm pretty good.

 

[Rocker64]

I'll join this

Well there's at least 3 other people, 4 if you are in.

OK, I will give this a week or so to make sure everyone has seen it.

Because of the way this is set up, you need a chessboard in front of you (either real or one on the internet. You can even use this one: http://www.chess.com/analysis-board-editor ) and you need to know how to do notations or at least how to relay notations. On the link above, the notations are located on the box and the right which will add at every move. Or maybe you can learn the notations quickly. Here are the rules on Algebraic Notation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)

Wouldn't it be easier to just make an account on chess.com and play a game against each other?

 

[Nabber]

yeah MM15 and I have some very good memories of that

If everyone is OK with that, we can do that. So, in that case, everyone who's signed up, post your Chess.com username.

 

[Nabber]

i'm GLaDOS42

 

[DragonFreak]

^Noted.

Also, if somehow I messed up in the first post like a spelling mistake in the username or prefer a different username, tell me.

 

[Nabber]

since we're doing a round robin do you want to start our game already

 

[NSY]

hey

 

[DragonFreak]

^^I believe I sent it.
^I also need your chess.com account, if you don't have one, make one quickly. It's free.

Also everyone, make sure you do an online game and not a live game. This really shouldn't come down to time.

 

[Nabber]

yay time to show how bad I am at chess

i really need to study chess more

 

[Rocker64]

i already have an account because me and nabs played a game one time.

my username is Rocker64

wait what is round robin

 

[Tantusar]

Basically, everyone will play everyone else.


Mine is Tantusar.

 

[DragonFreak]

Thanks both of you. I'll update things later in the first post after I'm doing with my Spanish.

 

[Nabber]

Alright, that was an awful game. I'm sorry, I'm not usually THAT bad.

 

[DragonFreak]

If you didn't do 9...Bb4+, you would've been in a decent position. Your best move would have been 9...dXe4 with a slight advantage.

Edit: I did not know you could name your games.

 

[Nabber]

Alright, I'll start my game with Tantsuar now.

 

[DragonFreak]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Nc3 Bg4 4.Be2 Nf6 5.d4 Nc6 6.Be3 d5 7.dxe5 Nxe4 8.Nxe4 Bb4 9.c3 Ba5 10.Nc5 O-O 11.Nxb7 Qe7 12.Nxa5 Nxa5 13.Qxd5 Qb4 14.cxb4 c5 15.bxa5 Rac8 16.O-O Rfd8 17.Qe4 f5 18.Qc4 Kf8 19.Bxc5 Rxc5 20.Qxc5 Ke8 21.Bb5 Rd7 22.Bxd7 Kxd7 23.Rad1 Ke8 24.Qc7 f4 25.Rd8#

Here's mine and Nabber's notations.

 

[Lakituthequick]

Good evening.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Nc3 Bg4 4.Be2 Nf6 5.d4 Nc6 6.Be3 d5 7.dxe5 Nxe4 8.Nxe4 Bb4 9.c3 Ba5 10.Nc5 O-O 11.Nxb7 Qe7 12.Nxa5 Nxa5 13.Qxd5 Qb4 14.cxb4 c5 15.bxa5 Rac8 16.O-O Rfd8 17.Qe4 f5 18.Qc4 Kf8 19.Bxc5 Rxc5 20.Qxc5 Ke8 21.Bb5 Rd7 22.Bxd7 Kxd7 23.Rad1 Ke8 24.Qc7 f4 25.Rd8#

Here's an animated version.

By the way, at step 18, white could have played En passant.

 

[DragonFreak]

Oh yeah, I could've. Oh well. Also, I prefer embedded games that you have to make it move manually, so you can stop and examine each move.

 

[Nabber]

By the way, at step 18, white could have played En passant.

yeah i realized that right after i hit "submit" and panicked

i made a lot of rushed moves in that game. i'm going to slow down now and think through

can i play someone else now
