Default The RGC Chess Challenge

We are going to have the first ever rgc online email chess tournament.
Please email me after you sign up with your registration name so the
cross table can me maintained. This is everyones chance to show what
they have got. We have at least three signed up so far. Who will be
next?

Who would you love to play? Come on, issue a challenge to someone. Will
they play?

There will be no way to determine if chess computers are being used or
not. I believe that most here act with honor and would not use one. If
there is a dispute we can settle it with pea shooters at two paces!

Click here to sign up. Nothing to download!

This is an excellent idea. I subscribe to this chess service and I highly
recommend it. You play all your moves on the server, so there's nothing to
download, no arcane email transmissions as with traditional chess-by-email.
I've played hundreds of games on this server.

It would be fun to play some of you characters.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Rob

We don't play chess here. We just yell at each other about it.

It is probably the only way to play some of the regular posters, unless
the state hospital allows trips outside for chess.

Sam, since you are too scared to play me OTB in your beloved Damiano, why
don't we play online? We can have a 6 game (or 4 game, 2 game -- whatever)
match. I will not use any computers except for opening preparation, and only
until the opening book is exhausted (move 2). You are a man of honor, and so
am I. You have no excuse. If you determine I have gone to the bathroom too
many times I will resign the match to you.

Whaddya say, chicken?

Cheers,

The Tidy Bowl Man (Angelo)

I've been signed up with ChessWorld for a while. It would be useful if
people posted the name they use on that server so others on RGC* could
find them.

Look me up -- I'm not hard to find. ChessWorld handle: "Nemmers"

My prediction is that Rybka -- ah, I mean IM Innes, will
prevail. Even Sam Sloan and his Damiano Attack cannot
hold up to the scrutiny of a nearly-an-IM, with an improved
rating of 3000+. I fear that human vs. human correspondence
chess is dead. Some will claim they only use computers to
"check for blunders", but I don't believe this is fair to those
who play unarmed.
