If you go under your settings and under challenge settings...you can limit unsolicited challenges by limiting the amount of games you're playing before you accept challenges. That doesn't make sense but go under your settings if you don't want to be in games with complete strangers. Otherwise, like sarge said, it will farg up your ratings...and you know how important that is!

I resigned the one game. It wasn't too far along and the guy hadn't been around for about a day.

Anyone who's gonna be around for a while wanna play a game? Let me know.

Same w/me.  I resigned 2 games with people I didn't know.  Lost 2 games as well.  So as far as I'm concerned, I'm 0-2.

he beat me too.

the only thing i don't like about this online chess is that is would be easy for someone to use a simulation program and figure out the perfect move every time.

i'm not saying that's the reason i'm 0-3, that's because i suck, but i have a feeling that some of the people i've played are cheating.

Nuh uh.  When you sign up to play it makes you promise that you won't use simulators.  And people don't break their promises.  Especially ones that are made anonymously via the interwebs.

Great game dio...I was hoping you would somehow slip up and lose your queen while I still had my two knights. Good play on your end all around. I don't know how I farged up letting my queen get took. Good game.

Post by: Sgt PSN on February 21, 2007, 08:13:59 PM
Yeah, I probably should have opted to make any move other than that one.  Who knows, you totally missed a blatant checkmate on me last time we played.  Farg, I should have just taken my chances on you missing it again.

Post by: Sgt PSN on February 21, 2007, 08:16:31 PM
Ok, you're either farging with me again like a cat does to a one legged mouse, or you blew another golden opportunity to put me away.  And this time it would have been without losing a single piece, which would have been rather hard for me to live with.

Post by: Sgt PSN on February 21, 2007, 08:32:25 PM
I don't remember the exact layout, but it was when you had me in check and there was only one move I could have made to get out....king from e-6 to f-7 I believe was the move I made.  Had you brought your queen from h-6 to h-7 I think you would have had me in check mate. 
Title: Re: As if you weren't a big enough dork/nerd already...chess anyone?
Post by: Diomedes on February 21, 2007, 08:34:42 PM
nah, your King could have evaded check by moving from f7 to e8
Title: Re: As if you weren't a big enough dork/nerd already...chess anyone?
Post by: Sgt PSN on February 21, 2007, 08:44:32 PM
True.....now I remember what I was thinking you could have done. 

If you would have moved your queen to h-7 and then I moved my king as you said, f-7 to e-8, you could have then slid your queen over to e-7 and been on top of my king (kinky). 

At the time, my queen was still sitting on d-8 so my king could not move any further laterally to my right/your left.  I would then only have 2 options.

1.  Move my king e-8 to d-7 or e-8 to f-8, which would have still left me in check with your queen.

2.  Taken your queen with my king but then left myself in check on e-7 because you had your knight was sitting on g-6 can could have taken my king.

It was totally there for you.  It sucks that I can sometimes see what other players should do better than I can see what I should do.

lol, I can't get on the site now, can you?

I must've played that opening a 1,000 times.  You made a mistake with your white bishop. You want to pin my my f3 knight to the king, that protects your D4 pawn. Then you want to take your A7 pawn and bump my b5 knight off his square.  That will give you a much better game.  Lay down your arms young jedi, lets start again. :evil

Losing to Chuggie really irritates me though.  Mostly because he's an idiot.

I'm in a good match with my brother.  Had a good match with Chuggie and working at the early stages of what looks like a good game with Munron.  In the one game I accepted against someone I don't know, I've made a slight comeback to the point where even if I lose, it won't be an utter ass whooping.  Still, I'm gonna stick with playing people I know.  I don't need some limey bastich Chess ace telling me I made silly mistakes.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not hard for me to tell that I'm probably smarter then you. And while your IQ resembles room temperature on a warm day, mine's more like a hot day in the Sahara sun. Just because you don't like the fact that I'm not Captain Negative to look cool doesn't mean I'm stupid, or a homer, or that I like Joe Banner and the Eagles FO, let alone having any bearing on my ability to play chess. To tell you the truth I'm rather disappointed that I've only managed to win 2 games out of 13 played, as I used to be quite good when I was younger. You on the other hand shouldn't feel any type of disapointment over a .000 win percentage.

I do lack any sort of motivation though. No matter how lazy you are, I'm lazier. So congratulations.

"Just another cheap and stupid move by the Eagles. Trust me, we are all hoping McNabb is 100% by the season. Garcia said it hit him like a ton of bricks. They rely so much on youth and draft picks, they want to make themselves look like genuises."

Too funny not to post. This quote comes from a message board on RedHotPawn. They have a sports section and among all the threads like the Brits loving on their soccer teams and all, there's this Garcia thread (and it wasn't any of us). I don't know why this makes me laugh. There's definately some Philly guys that play chess there.

And he makes multiple moves a day.  DAMN     hurt my brain just thinking about that.

I lose my Queen a lot that way, that's why I'll usually trade it without hesitation. You played yourself into an advantage, after you took my queen you were still down on points and material. :yay

Thanks Chuck, I know that shtein doesn't come around too often, but when it does, we gotta go after it. I hear you about trading queens, its a totally different game without the queen. The pawns become that much more powerful and essential to the game.

Another cool feature I found about Redhotpawn.com is that when you click on a player's name...it takes you to their profile and in their profile, you see the graph of their ratings.

Cool thing is that you can drag your mouse over the green graph and see what game ID and the date their rating went up and down.

Yes. It is cool.

Title: Re: As if you weren't a big enough dork/nerd already...chess anyone?
Post by: Eagaholic on April 18, 2007, 06:54:01 AM
Hey guys, just a heads up. I got  challenge from some guy from Belgium. I looked at his games before accepting and noticed he had alot of wins from timed out games. It then dawned on me to check the parameters to his challenge. He had set it to one move every day with no time bank. This means if you go more than a 24 hour period without moving, he can claim a win.  i.e. if  you move at 11am one day and go back at 11:30 the next day to move, he'll claim the a win and you loose.

I then looked at the timed out games and he seemed to target newer people without a high rating, probably hoping to take advantage of them. Seems sleazey to me so I wrote him back saying so (and made a remark about his country of origin) and shteincanned  the game.

So anyway, the point is if you are challenged (in a chess game I mean), first check the time settings.
