Happy to give you that game now that we discussed a while back...if ya remember?

[GMT]

Hi all, yeah I'm still in the wings.

 

[stoner 13th]

we assembled a good crowd here, and i just wanted to say im glad we met up here-

im almost 100% now, all that unpleasantness of the summer is just about behind me-

Im about to finish a game with Ayhev, but we can get started awile since i have a few boards here
just gotta grit and bear with my slow pace-

just to confirm
--im black, so my pieces are on rows 7 and 8
-- my queen on d8, yours on d1
-- white square in the bottom right corner
-- so you moved out your kings pawn to start
^^^^ any of that is diff tell me^^


good luck shiva, i always love playing a new opponent!

2:awn e7-e5 matching your kings pawn

 

[Guest]

hehehe, not feckin likely matey, you gotta take it from me, you know that, but thanks for the offer

64: king G4 - F5

if anyone needs me il be warming up the second place throne, which is getting rather comfy, thanks to a constant stream of non-1st place-ing on my part

 

[southpaw]

Oh man, I've been on IC for about a month now and I only find this thread now? Great idea guys... if anyone wants to get a game going let me know. I've played off and on for years, never baked though, lmao. I'm about a 1500-1600 player, so if there are any experts/ masters on here, do me a favor and handicap yourself with some herb, alright?

Peace.

 

[GMT]

hehe, I'm not even good enough to know what those numbers mean lol

 

[stoner 13th]

65:: pawn g3- g4 for the rare but great pawn up one checkmate

yet another gg m8!

hes all yours GMT if you wanted to play- think thats how its workin here-



welcome to the thread southpaw- you could get a game with Delta9-THC i bet, give him a PM and see what hes doin- dont think there is such a thing as a handicap in chess thoguh hehe--

the thread is thriving on the intellectual input from us all!

 

[southpaw]

Sweet, I'll look up Delta... unless you want to start one GMT?

 

[Guest]

hehe, I'm not even good enough to know what those numbers mean lol

im with you mate,


bugger, was counting on the other pawn moving, ah well SECOND again, better than losing i suppose, lol

good game mate, could have swore i almost had you a few times, but theres the power of thought for ya.......

hey southpaw, (left hander by chance?, me too)
if your up for a few fast games GMT's your man, I was ment to play him next but iva few work things to do & it means leaving the country (again) for a day or so & im sure he's chomping at the bit, ready to chess all over the place,lol if you guys wanna crack on be my guest, il be in the wings heckling, (& watching)

no low blows, contenders to their corners...ding ding


ps, hey stoner il get you yet mate lol, again, good game mate

 

[GMT]

Ah ok Ayhev, seems we have 3 waiting to play. Think I'll let Delta and South paw play one, I'll play the loser lol. Unless delta is busy, in which case I'll play Southpaw now.

 

[southpaw]

Cool, let's get it on! ; )

Those numbers are called Elo ratings. Basically God, Garry Kasparov, and Bobby Fischer are around 2900+, international level players like masters and grandmasters get in between 2100-2800, experts around 1800-2100, and us mere mortals between 1800 and 800, lol.

Hey ayhev, not a true lefty (uncle is though), but a boxing fan and if I did ever box, it would be as a converted lefty. For some reason the southpaw stance just feels more natural.

Do you want white or black GMT?

 

[Guest]

sweet, should be back mid wk-ish, ready for another bit of chessing

 

[GMT]

Delta busy hey, ok, erm given the trouble I have counting backwards and upside down I think Ill try one as white if thats ok, just go and set the board up, be right back with a move.
E2-E4

 

[southpaw]

Alright, a King pawn man!

1... e6.

 

[GMT]

And we're off
E4-E5

Well not really, but I need to keep it a bit tighter being 3-0 down.

 

[southpaw]

2... d5

Any of you guys grow? Three weeks from harvest here ; )

 

[GMT]

c2-c3
well that's another poor start from me, just lost my pawn making my first 2 moves redundant, take it we are playing the en-passant rule.

Yep South, we are all growers here

 

[GMT]

here's one of mine, about 4 weeks to go. growing in 18 litres of soil.

 

[southpaw]

Wheew real nice there. I think your colas are taller than my entire plants lol.

Go ahead and grab en passant if you want to instead of 3.c3. I can't take yours, no pawn lost. : )

3... c5
