Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Is there any interest in having an online chess tournament thingy here on SW? I know a couple of people have been all like yeah, and I took the liberty of setting up a web-based interface and rating system. So if anyone would be interested in doing this or something, say so I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Okay. Well based on the turnout, prolly not enough for a super-duper tournament, but if anyone ever wants to play, message me either in this topic or over in the Calref chat or something.

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Chess is fun but I haven't played it daily since I was in the chess club back in high school. So please go easy on me as I can bet I can only see one or two moves ahead anymore if I'm lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My high school didn't have a chess club, per se, just a handful of students (myself included) who liked to play chess. We would get a pass to get out of study hall, and play chess in the library (where the board was kept) for about half an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Dantius got drunk and came on CalRef to play chess. Two things of note: 1) He apparently has motor skill problems when inebriated, because he tried to make an illegal move like five times. 2) He resigned the first game just as I was bringing my hoof down upon his weakling strategy. Second game is in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If you want to do some serious horsing around, you should take the Knights Tour. Learning how to use these pieces well will give you an edge in the middle game. I would not like to be rooked by this Rook. On the chessboard, rooks work best in pairs.

Ineffable Wingbolt Erebus the Black Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I wonder how many of you are aware of the 50 move draw rule, which states that if at any point in the match there has been no capture or a pawn being moved in the last fifty moves then either player can demand the game to end with a draw?

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I have known of the fifty move rule, and yes it applies only under the circumstances you described. One note on en passant: you get only one chance to play that move. Your own pawn must on the fifth row (from your perspective) and the opposing pawn must have moved two spaces thus passing through the square where you would otherwise have attacked it. If you do not capture that pawn on your very next move, en passant does not apply. If on the other hand, if the opposing pawn moves one square, and on his next move advances one more square, en passant does not apply here either. A note about castling. When castling King side, the king ends up on the knight square. When castling Queen side, he ends up on the bishop square. Also, if either the king or the castle have been moved, even if they are moved back to their original square, castling is not permitted.
