Are the games timed?

 

[John Bender]

Are the games timed?

Correspondence style. 24 hours per move IIRC

 

[timschochet]

Yeah, there's no limit to speak of. We ask that you move fairly quickly so that we can get through the rounds, that you don't spend time consulting with friends or a computer or anything. This is all for fun, and there's no money involved. But there's no limit.

 

[McGarnicle]

Haven't played in years but what the hell.

[UniAlias]

Sorry does this mean you're in?

Every 3rd move your two bishops are allowed to switch places. But they both have to still be on the board for this to work.

I'm here for the nude pics. You were joking about chess, right?

Group games after the tournament was a phenomenal experience last time. Hopefully we can get that going again too.

Pluto is no longer a planet.

Castling is now accomplished in a single move.

I meant political threads. What's your problem?

 

[Juxtatarot]

In. Juxtat

If someone wants to get in a practice game before we start, hit me up.

 

[timschochet]

17 in so far. Let's see if we can get a few more. Also, it would be better obviously to have an even number.

We'll probably start early next week.

 

[AAABatteries]

shuke is in

Chesstime name: shuke

ETA - not a shuke alias, just being shuke's #####

 

[nysfl2]

[timschochet]

Let's see if any more people want to join today. Otherwise I'll set up match ups for round 1 and we can officially start Monday. Latecomers can still join up as late as round 2; they get a half point bye for the first round.

 

[McGarnicle]

Playing some practice games, getting my ### handed to me.

Solid app, tons of players of all levels. Found some good instructional videos on the youtubes also.

Correspondence rules means databases and books etc are fair game yes?

 

[timschochet]

Correspondence rules means databases and books etc are fair game yes?

No. And it's not correspondence. Everyone will be playing on Chess Time. Please don't use outside sources for help.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Anyone tried the Play Magnus app? It's surprisingly challenging starting around age 9.

 

[Short Corner]

Anyone up for a two minute tourney?
