Hey everyone! I know that in the relatively recent past we've had several people interested in playing chess games. I was thinking we might perhaps want to have a tournament. If there aren't a lot of interested players, we could go for a round robin, or if we have a whole bunch I could try to organize some sort of Swiss-style pairing system. You wouldn't have to commit to anything besides playing a bunch of games and reporting your results.

So yeah, if you think you might be interested, post in this thread, and I'll see if anything comes of it.

Chess? I like chess. Did someone say chess?

I think most of us are just afraid that madchemist will turn out to be some professional chess player with 10k games under his belt :D

I'm pretty solid, but not exactly good by any stretch of the imagination. I have played about 1500 games in the last year, though. :)

Yeah, you're gonna beat me in about 10 moves :p

Memorizing openings (especially trappy openings) has never really been my thing. I grind out slow victories.

Yes, I have not memorized any opening either. Anyone who faces me, do not move a pawn in front of your king. That is definitely a bad move that will not pay off immensely. ;)
 
I go to school with a chess world champion's son, Kasimjanov or something.

I'm not good, but I like playing, so in.
