 Re: Chess Tournament

Me and Crono are having a game of chess at the moment (he is thinking...) and I came up with a great idea. A snarkpit chess tournament. We would play chess through yahoo games (its free, just make an account). Anyone is free to enter the tournament. Once we have a list of who is in, I'm going to construct a round robbin map (everybody vs's somebody, the person who loses gets eliminated, keeps going until there are two people left, the winner from the game wins the tournament.)

So, who is in?

i stopped enjoying chess when it got to the point that i had to start memorizing set pieces instead of just reading the game as it went.

How about we get a single game going on in this thread. Anyone can make the next move for any team by posting. In the event of simultaneous posts, only the first one counts. Game commentary is also ok in intermediary posts.

I'll make the first move:
Code:

8|bR|bN|bB|bQ|bK|bB|bN|bR|

7|bP|bP|bP|bP|bP|bP|bP|bP|

6|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

5|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

4|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

3|  |  |  |  |wP|  |  |  |

2|wP|wP|wP|wP|  |wP|wP|wP|

1|wR|wN|wB|wQ|wK|wB|wN|wR|

0|a |b |c |d |e |f |g |h |

? quoting Crono
Give him a break he just learned what pool was yesterday.

yes, sure, but i was the one getting pwned. then, at the end, i won for some odd reason. heh, poor aaron, first he was pwning me to death, then BLAM! i win. that was really odd, he had way more points then me. mabye it was something he did : we were both shocked.

EDIT: hmm, now what did he do again? ah, yes, at the last turn there was a arrow pointing at one of the holes, and he just took a normal shot like he allways did. i'm no expert at pool, but i think he was sopposed to shoot one of the balls into that hole.

EDIT2:

Code:
8|bR|bN|bB|bQ|bK|bB|bN|bR|

7|  |bP|bP|bP|bP|bP|bP|bP|

6|bP|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

5|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

3|  |  |  |  |wP|  |  |  |

2|wP|wP|wP|wP|  |wP|wP|wP|

1|wR|wN|wB|wQ|wK|wB|wN|wR|

0|a |b |c |d |e |f |g |h |

EDIT3:drat. i'd join your little community (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/goldsource_modders) if i remembered my steam username : oh well.

Maybe it would be easier if you just used images of the same chess board with your respective moves (512x512 and compressed)?
