nasKo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just checking how many of you guys are playing chess and/or would be up for (another) tournament. We've had one on the old forums. If people are interested, we could get that goin again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walther Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 how did you manage that tournament? I mean what did you use/play?I'm a bit rusty in chesss I guess but I'd like to participate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasKo Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 We played online via Chess.com.It also allows for games to be made over the course of several days, where you have X time per move.If you don't move in time, it's a loss. Just checking general interest for now before setting out rules, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitt Frostpaws Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'd offer to join up but I'm terrible at chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walther Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 yeah no worries, I'm game though. I'm suggesting streaming the finals via twitch if there are enough peeps to really start a tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasKo Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'd offer to join up but I'm terrible at chess.You don't have to be a pro I haven't played since the last tournament which was in January 2013. Maybe even end of 2012. Not too sure. IIRC I lost to Keepbro in the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuztor Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Chess is cool. If it won't be too time consuming, I will join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gonzo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It's been a few years since I played at Grand Master level, but yeah, I'm down for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerKlaus Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Have been getting in to chess on chess . com lately and a tournament would be cool! Not a great player but enjoy playing, definitely up for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyphien Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 @nasKo If you like chess, you should check out http://www.tacticsarena.com/play/ Tactics Arena Online, it's an old game that's dead now, but an extremely fun one. It is slightly like chess, it's extremely strategical, and one of my favorite games of all time. If you ever want to give it a go message me and we can play. as for the chess tournament, I'm down to play, as well as a tournament for sure. As long as it doesn't fall on a day I'm at MEPS or doing something with the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connall Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If I'm able to learn in time then I wouldn't mind participating, I'll see if I'm able to pick it up quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSpy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
President Rattlehead Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm in, this goofy fucker here with a warning point does know his way around a chess board quite well. I wonder how many of you I could beat in as many turns as fingers I have on one hand (excluding the thumb). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelaaja2 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I could play, if it wouldn't be too time taking and if I would have time. I'm not a good at chess and I would probably lose.So it is that maybe I could play, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasKo Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Time is not much of an issue. As stated, it can be se tup that people have 1 day per turn.For tournament reasons, this might not be suitable, but we'll see I guess. Good to see so many people being interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawkesGaming Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I am totally game for this. I beat my grandad, dad and little sister in every game I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anvilman6 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Interesting. A move a day may be as much as I could make with how little time I have on my hands. Been a while since I've played chess, would be a good refresher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasKo Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 A move a day might be too slow and generous for a tournament, if you really only do one turn per day (considering my average game is ~30 moves) I guess we'd set it up to 24 hours per turn but make it a rule to finish a game within 3 days. Does that sound doable to everyone? To attend, please make sure to have a Chess.com account. It's free as long as you don't subscribe to their premium membership. I am nasKoPZ on there, in case anyone wants a warm-up Will mos tlikely make a new thread or edit OP with the rules and shtings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorshiek Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'd love to join! Haven't played chess in the longest time and it'd be fun to see how terrible i've gotten ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerKlaus Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yeah that sounds like a good idea to be fair nasKo.. at least start off with that and if it seems too long or too short, can always change or make i different for another tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
