TheTeapot Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Dunno if anyone was following the Chess world championship but it is over now after 12 draws and a blitz playoff. Those guys play a very different version of the game than the one I know. Anyway, apart from playing against my 7 year old who I;m trying to teach it has been ages since I;d had a proper game. Not at all a fan of playing against computers I have joined chess.com and payed a couple of quick games on there against real opposition. If anyone fancies a game I am teapot117 on there, go for it.

quilp Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Nothing like the real thing, fella. You'll struggle to improve your game playing the AI. Proper full-size board and a mate who's better at it than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Oh I know, the real thing is loads better. That website though matches you to people all over the world, been playing germans, dutch, americans, an argentinian, allsorts so at least it is humans. Ish. It's been a least a decade since I last played a real person though, the nipper doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Haven't played using a clock since school, so that's effectively new too. Now won twice on time, seems a bit hollow to me but was ahead in both. Anyway, the offer still stands if anyone wants a game give us a shout.

Gizo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Would love a game but it’s probably 20 years since my last. I was obvs world champion playing on a travel set with an ounce of Nimbins finest skunk in our flat in Sydney. If we can reproduce this scenario I’m well up for it!!

Rushen Spy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'm also good at ironing, hoovering, washing dishes......... saying you're "good" at something is not a some sort of boastful "assertion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
