[muxec]

Hi guys If Ming thinks that the right place for this thread is Off-Topic he is requested to move it.

Do you people want apolytonic chess contest? If so post your ideas and requests here.

[Heresson]

I think it is an interesting idea....

[muxec]

Please post your ELOs here.

Mine is 1750 :-/

This really belongs in the other games/other games forum. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to move it.

I play Chess, but I don't play well.

Will it be a PBEM thing or will we meet on one of the many online games sites that have chess?

If it happens it should be using ICC or something similar.

ICC ranking: hovered around 2000 when I played. ELO would be 5-10% lower.

IIRC Julius Brenzaida was somewhat better.

I'm sorry, but the US doesn't play by their rules.

A rating system devised by Professor Elo, now used as a basis for numerous ratings systems, most notably that used for chess.

I suggest that we play at the forum if Ming and MarkG agree Special thread will be created for the game in the Other Games/Other Games or Offtopic and participants post their turns in the thread.

IIRC there is a precedent. PM Ming and see what he says.

You'd better ask him instead of me... I recently told Ming my opinion about him so he'll disagree if i ask.

kcbob, Ken Hinds, Smash, myself and the unbeatable Julius Brenzaida played a couple of games. We set it up in the Other Games forum.

Julius is without a doubt the current Apolyton champion. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be around for the moment so challenging him will be difficult enough...

I'll see if I can find the threads, it's really only to get started. Don't need Ming's permission for that.
