Very Strange looking board

It's a chess board.

I wasn't sure if I could post this here but I'm afraid if I post in the chess forum most of you won't see it.

There seems to be a lot of poker players on the poker forum who play chess.

Would there be any intrest in a Poker boards forum chess tournament?

Maybe played on line/final can be played live or something?

Mods slap my bitch up.

I bet ye are all better than me. I'm not playing as I lost my love of the game after beating Deep Blue in a 50 game session that lasted 7 months.

I was sure this was going to be a "move it to the chess forum" post

I'm with the bulk of posters, haven't played in years but would give it a lash.

Maybe one of the other mods might think this, but I think this thread would be pointless there as Brian has said he would like to challenge poker forum players.

Maybe this could be an interdisciplinary event with Backgammon, scrabble and a couple of other things too? Probably way too complicated though to do that, but it would be kind of a non poker 'HORSE' type event.

Well I vote for Dom to organise such an extravaganza. It would be fun.

Oi! Don't try and get out of it.

I tried to pon it off on you and pon it off on Dom?

I say both of you should do it.

Ste05

Dom, I say you pon it back onto the original mastermind...

Seriously though, what do people think? Whcih of the following?

1. Stop hijicking NTL's thread, and lets just play chess.
2. Go for more events, a 'Pentathalon for Poker Players' (you've gotta love alliteration). Make a draw, and the each tie is made up of 5 events, first to 3 wins. Events so far possibly include Chess, Draughts, Backgammon, Scrabble and a fifth one, possibly, but preferably not heads up hold'em (any better ideas).
3. I told you to stop hijacking the thread!!!

I think putting scrabble in is giving Roundtower too much of an advantage
