Bit late, but for anyone who is interested the answer is of course more variations of games of chess than atoms in the observable universe. A conservative estimate by Claude Shannon puts the numbers of possible games of chess at 10 to the power of 120 whereas the number of atoms in the observable universe is a mere 10 to the 82.

Then there's the number of times I lose to @meths, which is 10 to the power 6

Don't start, I've been riding my luck with you.

 

[rangor gubbins]

I'm not convinced it's luck, although we've certainly had some close games. I'm happy to try again though!

@Chuk_Chuk good game but it should have been yours. I never saw the checkmate available to you near the end, luckily for me, neither did you.

GG.

I was kicking myself afterwards.

Good game @meths . It got very tricky for me at the end there.

Yeah, good game mate.

Those ones are frustrating when you end up boxed in with the wrong coloured bishop.

I've recently started to get into chess as a distraction from potential redundancy in work. My ELO is only around 400 but I'd be interested in the OCUK Chess Club if its still going.

That was the main one. I haven't played in a long time, I should really get back to it.

I use to play competitively but that was way back 20 years ago lol. Might give it a go if someone wants a game.

Yes, I use Chess.com.

If anyone wants to play a lowly 400 ELO, feel free to add me (blackvault87)

I still play when I get the chance. Busy home and work means my chances are a bit limited but happy to have a game with anyone any elo.
I'm Mr-W on chess.com

You have to wonder if Jeff Lynne plays chess, and if he does what his ELO rating is.

edit: I googled it and it turns out Jeff Lynne's ELO rating is "yes".

Thanks for the game. Worth doing the game review and seeing how many of your moves the computer thinks were good, excellent, or best.

Thanks for the games, mate.

Is there anyone else that would fancy a game?
