How about a nice game of chess?

Postby FF » Wed Apr 27, 2011 4:10 pm

I thought, as many in the Defcon community love to spectate games between players, and liken Chess to Defcon I would post this here :D

So please feel free to pull up a chair, and watch the show.

Moves will be documented below

~

Game 1 – Zorotama and Felicity Fox

Caro-cann


Yep looks like it. I thought I'd open with a King's Indian (or at least some variation of it)

Still waiting on Zoro's move.
He plays his chess like his game of defcon, slow and steady 8)

was also challenged by Erasmus J Homeowner. I wonder if he wants me to do a write-up :?:

1. Where is that site where you and Zorotama played chess?

2. (TO ZOROTAMA) Can I play you in chess? It's been a long time since I played and I really need a tough opponent to play with! :D

Chess.com. It was mentioned in this thread before.

Moves have been updated also.

Personally, I think you made a blunder there, FF. You could have moved the queen out of harms way but you counter attacked. If both queens are gone, then you will lose more material than Zorotama.

But even still; It's anyone's game.

Foxy, if I do a move in a week it's because i have rarely the time to do it. As I said to you before we start to play. After this, if you like to call me slow player for that, listening the ideas of one of the most boring player ever (mrmot..worm also in spec slot, acting to be another player)..you can do it. But anyway during the day I have rarely the time to play chess. That's why we both choose 7 days as limit for a move.

I never said that as an insult 8) you are a good player regardless and are giving me a run for my money. It will make my victory oh-so-sweeter :lol:

you also have to consider that for every move I make, I have to take a photo, and compile the shots and then post them on here - not as easy as one may think.

I have exams and such to consider also (not like I'm doing great anyway, I play my chess games in my head in lectures - :wink: )

If anything, I should be thanking zoro for allowing me days for me to mull over the moves :D

Because I forgot, :oops: It's fixed now however - also shots (a backlog of them) have been updated too. Horray!
