im not good at ches but im tryin 2 learn

can i join dis club

Oh goodie, a new member but I dunno if this Chess Club is already dead (due to inactivity) or not. Also, you sign-up on my 16th birthday (10/28/08).

I've started playing on www.chess.com because they have a bunch of stuff for everyone here to get better at. Mentor, tactics trainer, stat performance, saved games. I'm at the hospital right now so I can't go on pogo or yahoo because of their firewall.

My names Armin_Balija on there so hope to see you there.

The problem that is faced with this crew is setting up tournaments. There are all ways a ton of problems with playing or contacting your opponent, keeping score, or doing it all in a decent time frame. Maybe if we can work out how to make the process smoother we have a chance of saving this crew.

Also, the games in the tournaments have problems as well, including TIME ZONES.

So it is agreed that there are many problems when trying to run this crew. We could use it as a way to meet players and discuss chess. then set up games on our own time. If people started doing that this crew would live. Though I think for the most part this thread is dead and unless some one finds a way to fix all of the problems it is going to stay that way.

Come on guys! www.chess.com

It had a good little run at the start. (Still waiting for the first tourney to end though).

Problem was, no one really wanted to commit. It was, after all, an internet chess club. ^_^

I doubt I'll be able to stir up a body of interested geeks that was more enthusiastic than the crowd who helped get this one rolling... I guess NG just isn't the right platform. I'm on RHP at least once a day though, so if you want a passive correspondence game just message me on that site. it also has a blitz minisite, but you'd have to catch me online.

I guess until now, the tourney is still on.

Also, the participants have their problems on time zones so they can't meet in a single time.

That's why I was an advocate of RHP (or any other e-correspondence site). But those games can last months if you let them.

We should get the staff to embed a chess program into NG. Yeah, that'd be perfect. =P

I'm in the hospital right now so the only chess I've been playing is with my brother and other staff members and on www.chess.com

If you really want to improve your tactical training you should try http://chesstempo.com/chess-tactics.html

They have some good ones.

You can face your opponent any time in RHP. I dunno but other members/participants prefer a time for their match to get the results fast or to play anytime, either you forget it or not. Still depends. It's pretty unanimous.

Yeah, I concur that one. We can play, and there will be no problem at all to finish the tourney.

Ok, I'll try to rejuvenate this club by saying "WHO WANTS TO FACE ME?"

I would if my computer wasn't gay.

Oh, and BTW, for those who wanna face me, Go to "Blue Nile" on Pogo and find "youngblood26NG" there.

Good luck to me though.

Well, dude, it is impossible not to have Java in your Control Panel. If you are sure you have it, it should be in there.

Another nice game, AniMetal but really you improved a lot. You setup me some moves that I never see. I was getting beat up on the early parts but I saw an opening that change the turning point of the game. I'll be back though to face you. AGAIN.

Of course, I lost power for eight days straight in the December New England ice storm.

What do you think I did all that time?

Exactly, jacked off and played chess by candlelight. :P

Other people would call it cheating, thank you for not hurting my feelings. :)

I WILL BEAT YOU.

Oh, what was the temperature usually if an ice storm surges? I know it is below average or whatnot.

Wow, somehow that made you concentrate but not too much and it made your body warm in an instant. Hey, having a blackout during that time?

THREE WORDS. WE. WILL. SEE.

Pfft I wasn't doing it both at once if that's what you were implying. :P

YES WE SHALL.

Tonight(For me) I'll be on 11ish, or 12ish noon for you.

And lego chess? Lol

Oh I guess my hypothesis was WRONG.

And oh, I guess there are many business on my side, I'll be doing my thesis and I guess I'll try to finish a half of it to have our rematch. Dang, I didn't took a screenie on the first one. Shucks.

Hey cool, recent activity.

I'm still on RHP, though clan league and big ass tourneys have flooded my inbox with games. As I posted this, I went and checked and like 8 more games just popped up. Arg.

Nope i'm too lame.

Well, me and AniMetal just decided to revive this club and somehow, we can continue the tourney or just something usual.

Anyone up for a game?

I'm available for another few hours, then I'll be off and probably back on until the late hours.

In any case, just pm me if so. I haven't played on RHP yet, I'm more used to Pogo.

Cool stuff, just let me sleep for a few hours and I'll PM you when I'm we... I mean ready.
