GEG presents: The Chess Thread (ongoing win/lose record inside)

[L2R]

in fashion, fool!

in the first bluelight chess comp!

we'll start when we get 8 players.

 

[ControlDenied]

where will we play? will y'all come and visit me some sunday evening?

 

[L2R]

nein, we'll play in the gaming forum. each challenge will have it's own thread and we'll use a 2d graphical display of the board which will be edited for each move using mspaint or photoshop :D


so far, the contestants are:
impactoprofundo
captainballs
mister superzombie

 

[Mister Superzombie]

I see we don't have many competitors8( How about some form of publicity?

 

[ControlDenied]

Chess is fun

 

[L2R]

spread teh word!

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

I'm in. Fo' sho'. :D

PS. This should be a sticky.

 

[L2R]

^nice one. stickity-boh!

impactoprofundo
captainballs
mister superzombie
cotb!

 

[yougene]

I haven't played in a while, but I'm in.

 

[L2R]

hoo-ray!

i'll pm all ya'll when we got one more. then i'll split the 6 into two lots of three. each player will get to play the other two in their group and then the two champs can square off.... or something.

 

[yougene]

http://gameknot.com/ might be a good platform.
Easy registration, unfinished games are saved, and printscreen beats using mspaint.

 

[L2R]

problem is that we aren't all on at the same time. i reckon having a nice, chilled fight post by post is supreme maximum power superb.

 

[yougene]

You don't have to be on at the same time on gameknot. You make a move, log-out, and the opponent is emailed telling him or her that it's their move. The game could still be kept in a thread via screenshots. That would require getting 5 people to register for gameknot though.

 

[GreenEyedGirrrL]

sign me up daddy-o

i'm in

 

[yougene]

Awesome, lets get our chess-on.

 

[L2R]

ok. so the two groups are:

impactoprofundo
captainballs
mister superzombie

cotb!
yougene
geg!

round 1
imp vs cb
cb vs msz
msz vs imp
cotb vs yougene
yougene vs geg
geg vs cotb

before i start all six game threads, i'll send a confirmation pm to all players.

 

[Mister Superzombie]

Sweeeeet

Seriously what is the best way to play? I don't mind signing up on gameknot if it's the best way around.

Anyway, good luck all

 

[L2R]

ok.

my intention is to start all six thread with the following template

so making moves is as easy as copypasta!

 

[L2R]

still to hear from GEG and CB. let's start without them. this way, we only play one game each at the same time.

Round 1:
Impacto Profundo vs Mister Superzombie
Child-Of-The-Beat vs Yougene

Round 2:
Mister Superzombie vs Captainballs
Yougene vs GreenEyedGirrrrl

Round 3:
Captainballs vs Impacto Profundo
GreenEyedGirrrl vs Child-Of-The-Beat

 

[GreenEyedGirrrL]
