Hey all, wouldn't it be cool if we had a chess tournament? We could play with one of the many programs or just chess notation. What do you think?
I think I suck at Chess ... but it could be fun.
I'm half good at chess.... I'm in
I've played since I was seven and I still suck at it but it's fun anyways. I'm in.
:( i suck at chess, but i could be a cheerleader
*goooooooooooooooo Inkoddi*
ok that sounded kinda gay :-[

I haven't played chess in a long time.
I used to be pretty good at playing, but now, i'd just get my ass kicked.
There would be a long line of people waiting to play me. :)

I'm average at chess, but I got no spare time, so I'm not in. :(
Im in, but my track team practices everyday so i need a time

Nothing looks gay when your signature is boobies. :o
How would we go about this necessarily, just find a time to meet and play, or play through the mail? I wouldn't mind playing a game or two. Time is the mot important issue, we would need people who have schedules that meet up, otherwise, if we do it by notation, it'll take two months for a game. I'm in, if we can figure out a solution.

I think that real time chess would be the best solution, with 30 mins for each to think. Right?
real time is the better solution, or people would just cheat. I tell you, AGS:ers is one bunch of cheating people!
Cheaters!
I'm in, btw.
I think pogo.com , is the best place to hold the tournament. I'm member of a chessclub, and I like chess really much ;)

no, whole game, d0h!! And when your flag falls, you lose
I dont think that it would be good if we used a web site or a java based client. Better to use one freeware chess program, don't you think?
why not? Im in, but Im fine with using a webclient, I dont want to download some freeware program really, enless its really good
the ags whiteboard has a chess game just so you know

I'm in, although I think sub-professionals very rarely need thirty minutes. I got GCSE mocks at the moment, but they'll be over by the end of the week.
So, whenever is good, I can probably play.
I only play chess games of 5 minutes or less, preferrably blitz (2 minutes). 30 minutes is way too boring.

Games that short leave too much room for trickery (3 move kills, etc) and I don't really like them. I'd prefer at least 15 mins per person, but 30 minutes seems a bit much because then you'd need to be online for up to an hour.
I agree fifteen minutes is adequate time per player, but even if it was a half an hour, and you were quick, it wouldn't take the full hour.
We'd also have to make some honor code, where while playing, we play with what we know. In otherwords not open a chess book/program. I mean it's fairly obvious rule that shouldn't really need to be stated, but it's basically don't cheat.
It would also be fun, though not necessary, if after a game was played, we post the game, and people try to teach others how to become better, and where they went wrong. That way it's not only entertaining, but educational!

How about 20 minutes then? And BTW, is there a non-java besed web client(java refuses to install on my machine)?
It can also be done via IM, but that of course doesn't enable time limits. IRC is a possibility too, if both players have a board at home.

That's not trickery. It's tactful maneuvering. If you're a decent chess player, you should be able to recognize such moves and defend against them.
I found this program the other day: www.worldchessnetwork.com What do you think? Can it be used for the competition?
chess....
boring :)
...right.
That program vel suggested is good, I say we go with that
yeah it's good, vel... though still my favorite is pogo.com ;)
I just came home from my chessclub and I won!! I'm playing at the adults and I'm not really very very good... so now i won 2 , and lost 14!!
Take a look at our leaderboard of the club! I am "PR Olthof", and my brother and dad also play!

I prefer Global Thermo Nuclear War.
Anyway, how about Nightmare Chess?
I'm not great at chess, but I have beaten opponents in four moves before.
I'm in for Global Thermo Nuclear War (if I'll be able to clear my schedule for it, duh).
I wanna I wanna!
Krhm. Yes, that would be a good idea, so oyou can count me in!
My dad and my aunt's husband usually play via internet. I'm not quite sure what they use, but they can have one game going for months, like making a move when logging in, and then check again tomorrow if the other one has made a move. But I don't think that would work as a tournament.
Tuomas, your aunt's husband probably uses Gameknot (http://www.gameknot.com). I used to play there too, alias is tint, so if you are up for a game, search me up! I haven't actually been there for a few months, but now I may just start again. Still, I prefer instant games. I used to play at instantchess also, but trial ended and I am not going to pay anything. So now I just use flyordie (http://www.flyordie.com), which quite bad for organized games, you can just play with random people, but it is still go though. If you ever see ink956 there, then know its me. Anyway, I suck at chess too, but hell I still like it :)
I registered. We could play once I understand what I'm suppose to do in order to get to that point.
Global Thermonuclear War, anyone? (http://everybody-dies.com/)
Hm... I haven't played a game of chess against a real opponent in years, but I beat the AI last time I tried, so I think I'll try this, too.
Tuomas, I once sent you the invitation, did you use that or registered by yourself? Click "Chess" >Start your own game > search for user "tint" > challenge tint. Thats it...
I've played chess many MANY times with Ishmael. I think I've only beaten him twice. That's how much I suck. :D I'm in though. This sounds like fun.
I'm not very good at chess, more like medium, but I'm always in for a game.
Aight, I send you guys an invitation
I'm in too, if this is still happening.
If I register, I think I'll go as HK-48. We'll see.
Ok, everyone whos registered, post the name you are going. After that, we could make a game table or something. But most of the games you have to arrange by yourself, I am afraid.
Ok, everybody, how is your registration going? Me and ivy are already play'n!
I used my other name because Tuomas is obviously take, so Progist... err, but I never had time to learn how to use it, and I lost the site, sooo...
