Is there any possible way I will ever beat Benjamin at a game of chess? Of course not. So call it a forfeit. Your post was the best way for the thread to end back in 2004, anyway.

I don't know why I can't beat Ben at chess. I have no idea. How did he get so much better than me? What the fuck? They should have made chess an arcade game.

hows that game going?

When I was in my 20's I played chess with Scabs Muldoon next door. We played through the mail cause he was to fucking ugly to sit down with for 5 hours. After many months, (It still took the goddamned mail two days to get a letter next door) that oatmeal faced pus got my queen on an illegal move. Instead of mailing him my next move, I mailed him pictures of me having sex with his garden hose. He moved out the next day. Since he left no forwarding address I consider that a resignation. KNUCKLES 1 SCABS 0

I WIN!

WTF are you talking about? I put the list of moves in this very thread. I ain't going to take pictures of the goddamn thing too.

Do I win this game by forfeit or what?

Aliester Crowley used to do this.

He'd play chess against his friends--and usually win--while porking some girl in the next room. Accounts insist that she didn't feel cheated, either.

When is the part where this game continues?

It seems there is nothing to be lost by downloading the program. And if you get really good at memorizing the board, you can do away with programs/chessboards altogether.

Kasparov, I believe, can play 20 simultaneous games blindfolded. If not him, then plenty of others. Can you imagine? Try to keep ONE position on ONE board in your mind for 15 seconds and then recite what it looks like. Now imagine doing it for 20 boards, and being able to analyze them all for hours. Amazing.

I always thought it would be fun to learn how to play blindfolded, and then get a friend who could do the same. You could play anywhere. Driving in a car. On a bus. Laying out in the sun on a warm summer day. Just you and your able-minded friend, chatting back and forth to each other, "Knight to F6", "Bishop takes knight..." etc.

Good job, this. I want to get in on this as soon as realistically possible. However! I do have a question.

There is a program I can download that I can use for chess. However, as far as I can tell, it only tells me what square I am on and what pieces, if any, are there--in other words, I can only get a picture of the square I am on, and in order to get a picture of the entire board i have to move the marker around the board. Thus, getting the entire picture of the board would entale me having to memorize where each piece is on the board each time or just repeatedly move the arrow around the board, which is tedious. So! My question is, do you "people" think that I should go ahead and download this program now so I can play, or wait two weeks until I get home, wherupon I can use my real chessboard to play instead? Or~! ALSO! I can do... BOTH!

How to "create the board"? Download Winboard (URL in Debaser thread), then move the pieces in the order we've moved them so far (see below), then... LOOK at it. Then MAKE A MOVE. Then REPORT THAT MOVE HERE. Then SAVE THE BOARD. Then WAIT FOR ME TO MAKE MY MOVE. Then LOAD THE BOARD. Then MAKE ANOTHER MOVE.

How about you teach me how to create the board, but teach me more by "doing" so I can learn from your example?

Because I'm gonna trounce you.

by **pinback** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 10:12 pm

How would that facilitate a teaching game, where others could read along with the commentary as the game played out, and thus increase their own understanding of the Chess?

I.e.: Check THIS.

I left my notes at work. I gotta see a pic of the board.

Of course, this is why there are sites like Yahoo Games which let you and a friend play together in real time AND actually give you a picture of the board all of the time.

Blocking things with pawns is not necessarily a good means of defense. Whether the pawns are there or not matters not to the enemy piece which is moving there. The key to defense is making sure that the squares which would threaten a piece are controlled by you or the enemy.

Anyhow, the queen is the hardest piece to threaten anyway, because, except for the knight, any piece which could threaten the queen immediately become threatened by that very same queen!

I want my right bishop to be able to do the robotron thing like yours can.

The what? The Robotron thing?

I will move him out so I can castle.

bd3

Good deal.

...Nc6

Move out pawns, then knights, then bishops, then other stuff! I am following my advice to a tee!

Why, Debaser? Didn't I offer to do teaching games with anyone who started a thread for it?

Did you start a thread for it?

EDIT: Yes, yes he did.
