GRANDIOSE AGS CHAIN-CHESS GAME

1. What is a chain chess game?
Participants will be divided in 2 teams, the Black Team and the White Team (BT & WT). The first player of the WT will make the first move, then the first player from the BT will make her move, then the 2nd player from the WT will have his turn, etc. We don't stop until the game it's over!

Like a Chain Story, just applied to chess!

2. What do I need to participate?
Just basic knowledge of chess rules. If you want to learn with a Java tutorial, click here.

3. I know the rules but I've played only two games in my life and lost'em both!
Don't worry! Each team will have a mix of experienced and novice players, everybody's invited!

4. So, where/how do we play?
Here on the AGS forums! After each move I will post a diagram like this

You can then state your move using the Algebraic notation (e.g. "pawn in e2 to e4") or simply taking advantage of MS Paint

5. How much do I have to ponder my move?
1 day per move is the time limit. After that you'll be skipped and the next player in your team will move for you.

6. Yay! Where do I sign up?
Just post here, clearly stating that you want to be part of the game!

7. How are the teams picked? When will the game start?
I'll randomly divide the participants in two teams. The game will start as soon as we'll reach a decent amount of player (10 would be optimal).

spelling errors? unidiomatic english? Write me a PM!

Jim Reed reporting, capt'n!

Nevermind me, I'm just posting here, clearly stating that I want to be part of the game!

I've copied out the unicode symbols for all the pieces. Maybe they'll come in handy Below:

White
King: ♔
Queen: ♕
Rook: ♖
Bishop: ♗
Knight: ♘
Pawn: ♙

Black
King: ♚
Queen: ♛
Rook: ♜
Bishop: ♝
Knight: ♞
Pawn: ♟

I'll have to pass on the actual chess bit...
Might show you all up

[ShiverMeSideways]

I'm in as well!

[Wonkyth]

I'm in, I guess, although I prefer Kriegspiel.

[Bulbapuck]

Haven't read what it is yet but I heard the word chess.

You know I'm in

[Dualnames]

I'M IN. Expect no mercy!

[Tuomas]

I'm in as well!

[Intense Degree]

I can't see any way this won't be a complete mess and I'm rubbish at chess.

Therefore I am in!

[cat]

Number 3 of your list is exactly my chess knowledge, so consider me in!

[Stupot]

Cool Idea!  Things are a bit hectic at the moment so I'll pass on the game, but I'll certainly observe.

[Khris]

HEY! Over here

If it isn't too late, I'd love to enter this, too!

[Wonkyth]

As the topic was started two hours ago, I think there's still plenty of time to join. 

[bicilotti]

This thread is mushrooming! Yay for participants! Keep coming!

[Tuomas]

With good luck your friends can soon lose the game before you get a chance to make a move

[Nikolas]

I'm guessing that it's possible to input a ready made game in any chess program on the net, or outside and have it play your move, right? Don't do that!

I'm NOT in! I know next to nothing about chess, but I do find this VERY fascinating!

[tzachs]

Holy salsa, it's chained chess, my favorite game!!!
I'm in!!

[LRH]

Fear me, for I am in as well.

[discordance]

It's not too late to be in is it!? I think I won a chess game once! (He had never played before.) (He was ten.)
