Preserved Topic: Chess Tourney II (Page 2 of 2)

Suho: We may have a spot for ya! If you hang around till the end of next week, we might be dropping a no-show or two. If that happens, it won't yet be too late for you to jump in as a replacement. Dark stepped into a slot here in the second round. If you are really interested, get yourself set up at Stan's and standby.

Yeah, and you can always challenge somebody 'on the side'...I'm up for one, if you want...

A big hello to Ron Gallant...don't recall seeing you here before...was it before my time here? Love the sig...

Could have been. Wish I had more time to hang here. I have been a huge fan of Docs for years. I am just trying to get him to admit that he was first inspired by myself and not the other way around... lol

Well Ron...just got done looking at your site...not bad. Like the graphics section...one question tho - the globe of the earth with the metal bands...where did you get the idea for that? Looks a lot like one of Docs old 'front door' graphics (not meaning it's the same...just the metal bands...). Very nice...how was it done? Is that Bryce?

My game with Skaarjj should start pretty soon now, he managed to get 'turned on' so I challenged him...

Always ready for some chess Suho if you want someone not-very-good to play against my player page

Actually It's not from doc. I think I actually did it before he had his up.. I know I didn't think it up, I believe it is something in Bryce, like an object. Doc, do you remember? Of course, I know Doc has been copying me for years... uhh humm... No, really... ;-)

BeeKay: The end of next week? Sounds cool. I'm going to be pretty busy until then, but I should at least have the time to set up an account.

WS: Maybe I'll take you up on that offer after I get set up. You know, just to get a handle on how badly I suck.


Cell 270

Thanks for the input Ron...thought it was Bryce...

@suho....bring it on big? guy...after a sound whooping, you'll go back to shock treatments...

All fun aside, it's a great way to learn fast...that's how I learned chess...by getting the pants whipped off me...took me two weeks...nothing like public embarassment...it's a great incentive...

Mobrul and I have started our game. Although I'm not sure if he realizes that.

Maninacan Cell #471

As far as I know, two games haven't started yet,
BeeKay vs. Massacre
adrock vs. Moaiz

and one is at the first move,
maninacan vs. mobrul

Let's move on.

WS: Am I allowed shock treatments during the game? That's the only way I'll consider subjecting myself to public pain and humiliation.


Cell 270

Well, you'll certainly be 'shocked' more times during the game...does that count?

Hmm... in order to be shocked I would have to be surprised, no? The only thing that would shock me would be if I won. So I guess we'd have to say no, that doesn't count.

Well, just found out that one can make mistakes with the chess game...CRAP!!!! I had the wrong piece 'outlined' and then clicked the send button...never play netchess early in the morning...*goes into stupid, dumb idiot mode* Oh well, on with the game *stupid fingers...stupid brain...stupid, stupid, stupid...*

Hah! I played my first dozen moves with Sash while also writing as big presentation for the next day, how stupid was that? Anyone who really wants to watch me get my ass kicked had better follow this link. If I wasn't such a stubborn bastard I'd probably tip right around now, but I'l have to see if I can come up with *any* surprises here!

Your pal, -doc-

Whoaha! Ok, but my mistake was 'accidental'...I was examining the board, didn't realize that I had the king outlined, tried to move my rook (thought it was my rook) and accidentally moved my king, instead. Stuuuupid!!!! *begins kicking self again* Dammit! Wish there was a 'redo move' key, to fix such probs...oh well, on with the game...*continues to kick self*

Ouch! OK Webshaman, you take the prize for that one, I can't top that! When I played with benev the first time, he moved his knight out, and then back to where it came from, hmm. I decided to do the same thing to keep the game even! Maybe WJ can do something similar? He could move his King out and you could glare at each other, then you take turns moving back where you were. (Hmm, no optin for castling that way, though. Bummer, you be screwed!)

Your pal, -doc-

Thanks Doc (yup I be screwed...)...no, it was my mistake, I'll just have to live with it...the game goes on! If I actually manage to win the game (and WJ is really giving me a run for my money...), it'll just be sweeter...and if I lose, I can always say 'well, if I had just done that differently...'

The site webmaster, Stan, is real cool about setting moves back provided both players are in agreement. So, if ya want, you and your opponent can send emails to Stan asking for the game to be set back to a certain move. He will usually do it for ya without a problem. I know how frustrating accidental moves can be ... made more than my fair share ...

I guess since Adrock forefited his last leg of the tourney and still has yet to initiate the game with me I dont have anyone to play.

Well, this is where Suho1004 will come in. Right now I'll leave it up to Suho to decide if there is time to participate. I think he said something about being busy right now, but by the end of the week he could play.

Suho, let us know what you want to do, ok?

Well, if moaiz can wait 'til the end of the week, I might be able to start something up.

It's been awhile and still no first move from mobrul, any idea what happened?

Maninacan Cell #471

Well, after thinking about it for awhile, I decided to let the move stand...in tournament chess, once the piece is touched, it must be moved...so even though it was accidental, the move stands...time to take my medicine...so it's your move WJ. Come and get me, baby!

I'm here, I'm here.
Went out of town this weekend...no connection.
Anyway, first move on its way.
Good luck.

mobrul

Waiting for you to move, WJ...*bump*

Well, my game with Sash is over, I just resigned last night. It was a relief actually, *nothing* went right for me in that game, I was feeling a little bit desperate by move #8, and it never got any better. Great game Sash! You impressed the hell out of me, it seemed you didn't fall for any of the usual ploys I use on others, (bummer, that ;-) Heh. So, I'm now 1-0-1!

Your pal, -doc-

I hope I don't end up joining you, Doc, but WJ is giving me a run for my money...too bad he plays so slowly...

I really need to watch myself, and decide when I should be responding to moves! I came near to screwing up in my game with my pal Glyn ("Grimgod", I think WS, you're playing him now?) ANYways, I finished up a very delicate and difficult price quote last night, and then quick wuick before bed I glanced at the board and then moved, after delaying for 2 days nearly. D'oh! What was I thinking? Careful Doc, careful.


Your pal, -doc-

Yup, I'm playing him..looks interesting. For a real challenge, try this guy http://stansco.com/cgi-bin/nc_ppp.cgi?5021 ...he's really causing me problems...but what a game! Weeehaaa!

hehe...never mix chess and business together...

OK, I've signed up and I am now ready to get my butt kicked... I mean start playing . So how's it going to go? Am I going up against Moaiz?

Just go to moaiz'z page (linked from my tourney page at the top of this thread) and click on the 'challenge me' button. Set yourself up as playing white. Once moaiz accepts the challenge, the game will start and y'all will be off and running.

Thanks for joining in and have fun!

Cell Number: 494

The challenge has been sent... let the game begin!

Hmm. It sounds so much less impressive in the singular.
