Poly chess championship: join us now

[Carolus Rex]

I sent Julius Brenzaida a private message about the games; hopefully he'll show up.

With all respect for the currently active players, whoever emerges as the strongest one will have to face JB IMHO before calling himself the Apolyton champ. Julius hasn't even let a draw out of his hands...

chess in forums? that is a terrific idea!

[David Floyd]

I used to play Chess constantly a few years back, actually I was pretty good. Unfortunately, I'm totally out of practice, and I never really learned the "Chess lingo" (move markings, etc.) so I'm afraid I'll sit this one out

Temporary results
JW 2/3
Muxec 0/2
MTG - 1/1
SirRalph 1/1
Seldon 0/1

games won/games finished

I only have the game with Sir Ralph going, and it's fairly slow moving in more ways than one, since it's a closed middlegame and we're 9 hours apart in time zone.

I'm available for a couple more.

muxec seems to be organizing things, so,

Hey muxec! What colors? I've played one of each so far.

[muxec]

Zorbop plays white with me and black with you.

I'll post here a table soon.

MTG, i want to ask DanQ for adding "Chess league" to the list of membergroups.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Muxec - great idea.

[DrSpike]

Well if you suggest it it might go down better.

2) Long form algebraic notation doesn't seem necessary to me..........it's just so ugly and short-form is fine (check out the Ralph-MtG game).

Algebric notation is better, IMO

[MichaeltheGreat]

far better, but Dr Spike is talking about:

1 e2-e4 e7-e6 (long form)

as opposed to:

1 e4 e6 (short form)

I asked Mark and Dan.

A chess membergroup? Why not. Here's a proposal for the icon, shamelessly PSP'd from WinBoard.

[Jon Miller]

I would be interested in playing

not very good though
