    I think the Chess board could definitely do with someone with a keen interest like yourself to look after things...

    Admins?

    +1 from this powerless fop.
    Good chap he is.

    +1 from me.

    It aint that punny but,

    There was a man and his dog playing chess on a park bench. Soon, there was a crowd around the two. One woman proclaimed, "That dog is so smart! How did you teach him to play chess?" The man answered, "He's not that smart...he's losing 3 games to 1."

    Doesn't seem like he's been knighted as of yet... maybe you could take a rook when you have the chance.

    I'll just go back to polish my bishop, oho!

    Sorted now. I hope this gambit works out...

    So if the initial hype hasn't died down yet anyone still interested in either playing chess or starting a dedicated thread to **** chess jokes which will probably end up stickied (anything for traffic) should follow the links in my sig

    If there's enough interest from beginners who wanted to learn a few of the experienced players could easily help you improve your game by lashing up a few tips or playing you and seeing where you went wrong

    How about organizing an on-line chess match ? Like correspondence chess.

    2nd link in the sig. I should probably make that clearer

    Oops, my mistake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭DublinWriter


    I got past page one of this thread and immediately the song "Bad Losers on Yahoo Chess" by Half-Man Half-Biscuit sprang to mind.

    One last plug, the league will be starting on Monday night for any interested parties
