Chess

[Bartmanhomer]

Does anybody play chess?

 

[freebfrost]

But of course.

 

[Bartmanhomer]

I play chess all the time too, in fact I'm going to get a chess game on my computer this Christmas!

 

[Jesus_marley]

MMMmmmmmm Chess...... *gurgle*

 

[Bartmanhomer]

My favorite opening is the Napolean Attack. (e5, Qf3)

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

Occasionally, but I'm pretty bad at it

Occasionally, but I'm pretty bad at it

That sounds familiar. It's been a few years since I've played, and even longer since I've actually won.

Demiurge out.

Yes, USCF rating of around 1100, though I've been out of the tournament circle for awhile, so my actual ability is proably higher.

I used to play. Taught myself in middle school, but I'm fairly certain there are some esoteric rules I don't understand (Castling, for example).

I haven't played in years, and I'll be the first to admit that I'm not terribly good at it. I just don't have the patience to think about all my moves.

I love chess and chess variants. So far, the ones I have include:

Knightmare Chess
Four-player Chess
Three-player Chess
Hexagonal Chess
Jetan (Barsoomian Chess)
Shogi (Japanese Chess)
Chinese Chess

I had to build my own boards for the last five, and the pieces for the last two.
