Any chess players?

Nix · 9 May 2010 at 16:30

I haven't played in a very long time and fancy getting back into it. I used to be quite good when I played it regularly, but imagine I'd get my bum handed to me by an eight year-old now.

Anyway, anyone fancy a game to pass the time?

Playing over at pogo.com

I stopped playing online when I realised everyone was cheating.

What's the point in cheating at chess? :confused:

I'm up for some more if anyone fancies a game?

Anyone?

Hmm.

Alright, I'm in Blue Beard, table #25.

You need to update your Java too, just so you know.

Is that because the whites go first?

Nix · 17 May 2010 at 17:24

I'm happy to play a few games if anyone's interested?

Aside, does anyone know of any good chess-based websites for reading up on openings, strategy, etc.?

'Nixeh'

I'm about if anyone fancies a couple of games again?

I just played some strange chap who threw a massive fit when I beat him and demanded I read the bible. Fun times.

Up to you, I'm on both at present.
