Bump. 9 in so far. Let’s see if we can get anyone new. I’d like to start next week.

 

[Psychopav]

[timschochet]

Bump. Unfortunately 10 people is not enough. We need at least 4-6 more.

 

[Dezbelief]

My son might be interested if you will have him. We've been playing some recently. He's beat me a couple of times, not that it's hard to do. As a newcomer he is still prone to blunders.


Edit- I'll ping Cranks.

I'm trying to figure out how to get Chess Time on a Lenovo thinkpad.

Use it as an app on your phone.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I don’t think people see the tag alerts if some number in one post is exceeded. Maybe like 10?

I was wondering if I changed my settings. When I saw the thread I checked my alerts to see if I missed my @ but it wasn't there.

 

[Psychopav]

Hey @timschochet maybe you should send a group PM with a link to the thread or something. Weird that these @'s don't work but I think I've noticed that in the album countdown thread too. Like, I don't always get the notification.

@BlackCrowes

[nysfl2]

Going to have to sit this one out

 

[timschochet]

Bump. 12 now in. That’s doable, but a few more would be better.
let’s see if anyone joins today, if not I’ll set pairings for round 1 tomorrow.

 

[tri-man 47]

In!

Hopefully someone else joins as well so we keep an even number. (If not, as the last to respond, you can drop me …but I’d enjoy playing again.)

 

[shadrap]

I'm in if you have room.

 

[shadrap]

how about getting it on personal computer?

 

[timschochet]

14! OK I will set things up today.

 

[Drunken knight]

[timschochet]

OK here are Round 1 pairings:

@Juxtatarot vs @shuke
@Psychopav vs @scoobus
timschochet vs @Captain Cranks
@Sand vs @Dezbelief
@tri-man 47 vs @BlackCrowes
@shadrap vs @Nick Vermeil
@Zow vs @Chaz McNulty


Notes:

1. Left side is always white.
2. White needs to invite Black to play on Chess Time.
3. Some players have nicknames on Chess Time. These can be found in the opening post in paranthesis.
4. Good luck everybody!

 

[Dezbelief]

2. White needs to invite Black to play on Chess Time.

I see says the blind man.

Nick Vermeil invite sent. question: I'm far from tech savvy but got Chess Time on my phone. have option to turn on game analyzer. Can I do this or does this give me help, which is a no no?

I’ve never used it. If it suggests moves during the game then obviously you shouldn’t. Using it after the game to look at where you went right and wrong is a great thing.

It doesn't actually provide any analysis at all. It does not suggest moves just allows you to model out what the board looks like as you choose moves for yourself and your opponent. For someone who isn't good like me it's very helpful.

ETA: I always leave it on when I have the choice. It also persists so if you are playing and it's hours or longer between moves it will help you remember what you intended to do. Only one line that you model out (the last one) persists. It's nothing but a visualization tool.

I just look at the ceiling. But it's not helping against Zow!

Did you medicate first?

I’m seeing a few ceilings but Woz beats Chaz.

 

[shadrap]

Vermeil on the attack immediately & he has black. My opening is severely lacking as I'm finding out.

 

[BlackCrowes]

@tri-man 47 invited me but somehow i'm white
