Well, maybe we should have our match tomorrow, I am pretty sleepy and it is 11:24 PM here, so, maybe I should rejuvenate myself for our match. What do you say?

Good luck.

K, sounds good. See you tomorrow.

Good luck to you too.

Well, see you tomorrow as well. It's Saturday here tomorrow so there is no problem with me.

Good luck to you too.

Thanks a lot.

I mean, I don't have an opponent today so, let's play some chess.

Sorry for the double-post.

Anyone know if Rideo is still around here, as I should be playing him?

While waiting for Prinzy2 to come out and face in our second round match, I'm currently online on Pogo and I'm on Blue Nile, for those who wanna play with me.

As well as Zerok. Whew, 30 minutes of full intense chess action. Thanks for giving me a good fight, dude!

If you don't mind, try to ask your Filipino workmates if where are they from (what city or province). Thanks a lot.

Latter today I will try and play my next match.

On the strategy topic I use a mix of strategy and going with the flow. I like to be flexible. It might not be a bad idea for me to buy a chess strategy book tho. I really do enjoy playing chess, and it would be worth the buy to learn more about what I enjoy. This club also gets me thinking about chess and gives me a place to discuss and practice verse many opponents that I can get to know over time. Some of you I already know a little from the BBS.

I wonder if Prinzy2 will play me today for our match. As of now, he is not online.

Time Zones.

I suppose the tournament will be moving at a slower pace. Not an issue for me; if you guys want the chance to compete for real prizes though we gotta show some commitment.

I actually bought one today. It's hard to fins chess books here, but I found a little trove of them in one bookstore. It's called The Complete Idiot's Guide to CHESS, and the first bit of it is allll basic stuff, but evidently there's more in depth stuff coming up. There was also a semi-novel type book, a book that was a lot of notations (something I currently don't have the patience to mull over) written by Capablanca himself. There was a kid's beginner book and some other introductory one. I got the one I got in hopes have some good reading near the end of the book.

Same. It's quite an amazing game, yet it's so simple in concept.

Things you can hold in your hand?
Maybe a subscription to RHP or something?

YO! Just got back from Calgary. Stayed overnight for the MSTRKRFT concert at flames central. I see youngblood isn't on, so I'll try and get up early tomorrow so we can play. Hopefully well get this done, but if worst comes to worst, I'll forfeit. I have to go back to Calgary to help my brother move, so I don't even know when I'll be on.

Oh, by the way, they had some other DJs that were way better IMO. Small town was probably the best. MSTRKRFT didn't even show up until 12:30. Bleh, I need some sleep. I'll try and be on in about 8 or nine hours youngblood.

I will be on tomorrow all day. I am going to PM my opponent so we can get this round complete.

There is a huge book store by my house. If they do not have what your looking for they order it for you. I will most likely go to Google books and look up previews to see what book is best for me.

I agree, to learn chess is easy, to master chess takes a life time.

Well, gladly you adjust on the time zones issue. Well, we're between 12 hours so that's hard to adjust. Well, I hope you'll wake up early for our match.

Well, I was rejuvenated yesterday by a nine-hour sleep due to stress and yes, hunger. Well, see you in our match. For those who wanna play me today, I'm on Blue Nile now in Pogo.

CrUiz3R, when you're on PM me so we can have our match.

Well, good luck on your match. I wonder where the hell is Prinzy2. I guess he will forfeit our match. That's sad that we won't play each other.

Ok I'm here. I have maybe an hour or so before I have to leave.

Well, well, well, is our match still possibly on? Well, when you are asleep, I am online, when I am asleep, you're online. So, maybe our match is forfeited due to "time zone issue", again.

Zerok, I'm probably going to have to drop ouyt of the tournament. I am struggling to get on at the right time for my matches. I wish i could be on at the right time, but I have school comitments and studing to do.

Well, if that's your final decision, that's gonna be sad. Well, you should post your decision here.

I'm still open for matches on RHP. CrUiZ3R is the username. I just can't see the chance to get on pogo. Also timezones kind of stuff me up.

Yeah, when I was young I only did it for fun, if your playing with parents and stuff it could be fun, but now I realise it is also good for the brain and helps you inprove in other subjects, so yeah...

Well, same here. Chess is all about logic, strategy, being keen and ability to think fast. That's why I applied it on my studies.

Hey, I'm bored, I'll be on Pogo in the Blue Nile Room. Username same as mine here.

Izzy we need to play for the tournmaent meet me on blue nile. Now.

ll, I'm off to Hawaii tomorrow morning. For a week. So I guess none of you will get the privilege of getting to play me in that week. =P But seriously, I'll be gone, good luck to everyone who's in the tournament right now. Gu-rrilla will be depositing for me, so any uncharacteristic posts are most likely from him.

I'm watching you >_>

Well, I dunno if there are still active Chess players here because I didn't see them online. Well, anyway, I am online, meet me on Blue Nile for those who wanna face me.

To Prinzy2, is our match will occur?

I'm still active and regularly watching this club. It's just that right now I am in a stage of gathering some knowledge, but If anyone wants to play with me, your best bet is to send me a PM telling me to get on Pogo.

Well, while I am waiting for someone to get online on Pogo Chess, I am hanging out with the greatest billiard players online on "High Stakes Pool" on Pogo. Well, Let's play dude, I'm on Blue Nile now.

Should I create a "Billiards Online Club"?
