I’d like to start a slow paced game, should Obe, LaughingMan, or anyone else be interested.
Stuart: I really love chess, and would be much interested, with no time restrictions. Maybe Flannel Jesus could also participate, i think we still owe each other a game from about a year ago. Later. As far as web sites go, maybe better to do it here online @ ilp , if ever You are able to launch it.
Just give your first move whenever your ready, and I’ll keep track on my board. Also, I found chessfriends.com, I’m Stuart52 there.
thanks, give me over the weeekend, cause my wife owes me till monday.
I’m interested in playing chess with others on the internet still.
Unfortunately I won’t have a stable internet connection for my computer until next month.
I only have my Android phone to access the internet for the moment until I can get an internet server set up at my new residence.
Laughing Man this will be a slow game, as we have discussed it with Stuart. And Stuart, although i was able to get on the internet, my time is very limited, and don’t even have a good chess set. I will get one on Monday at Wall Mart, and we can start then. I wanted to talk about the unfortunate turn of events which disqualified my games with Flannel Jesus, and although the probability of what happened there two times is almost unbelievable, unfortunately it was TRUE, and there is no amount of explaining that take a way the shadow of doubt as to what really happened. But be as it may, life goes on, and hope to get him involved. I am absolutely not ashamed, and ceased to rationalize away certain things which happened as absolutely determined, on basis of what truth the situation presented.
So Stuart, i will be free this coming Monday, starting at 9 am all the way to 1pm. I can’t help but think, this game will be far more exiting than let’s say a Dungeons & Dragons game ever could be.
Obe will try to cheat hence his title.
Monday from 9am-1; I might be available then, we’ll see. I guess I can play the game over those four hours while doing other things on the internet as well.
(Though, if you’d like to play a direct quicker game, the website I linked above seems to be easy to work with. The only difficulties is if you use the free version, it will log you out every 30-60 minutes.)
He won’t try to cheat, he’ll just get mixed up and even if you do your best to maintain clarity and make sure that when you say ‘Pawn to E4’ he knows exactly what you mean, you’ll still somehow end up with different board arrangements half way into the game.
At least, that’s what he did with me. Even when I provided screenshots of my board arrangement and said, ‘Do you agree that this is the current state of the board,’ and he confirmed, a couple of moves later it was all in shambles again and it turned out that, no, that screenshot wasn’t what his board looked like.
But, he may have gotten better.
You need to keep a board summary in plain sight for everyone.
One can only hope Obe got better.
Overall he’s an interesting old chap. We’ve spoken on the phone a couple of occasions.
Indeed.
I would like to once and for all clarify a number of things which came up/ re: these proposed games. We are not at all hungry for revenge, or what, that is not the aim, and it neither is the object of it to create ‘special’ interest, in terms of setting up dubious situations whereby, a mistake could be interpreted as a deliberate attempt to confuse, by a gambit of believability.
I really think explaining, apologizing, or trying to clear one’s reputation is a total waste of time, and in most cases, it becomes counterproductive.
So i am not going there vis. and in spite Flannel J’s assurances, which is what happened. i am an idealist, an as one, i need to get this out of my system. That i can’t without casting an even longer shadow, leaves me one remaining option.
I declare unreservedly, that i changed my name from shameful, to shameless, being aware of the fact, that the basis of the change was not a ploy, or some kind of Machiavellian manipulation, otherwise, i would have left here a long time ago.
The circumstances under which i tried to play those two games were not favorable to avoiding the type of chaos which is anathema to an orderly play. Just putting it in those terms, makes me feel more credible about that situation, about my self.
So let the games begin. As far as who goes first, i think it is fairly settled that Stuart and i go on Monday 8/25, barring unforeseen events, which may come down. That at some point, i would very much like to get involved with Flannel in a game of ‘redemption’ is a wish i would certainly hope for.
Hi Stuart, i am 30 min late sorry, if You could make it today, i can play for an hour. Just bought a chess set, so i am ready to go.
Since i can not get in touch with You except here, why don’t we try it differently, send me a time and date, would be convenient for You. But since i am here at Target, just bought a chess set just for the occasion, and You indicated that You would be ok with a slow, or rather a variable speed game, i will make my first ,move. You can answer, and as we go along set some rhythm and method to it.
I do not know what nomenclature You want to use, but i go with traditional , like p-QB4. Flannel used the chess federation one, and that’s ok too, however, the former would be ok too/ I will take it upon myself to be white since i got in first, and black cannot make the first move.
1.QBp-B4 (or f2-f40) black’s move
let the game proceed.
I’ve never played a game through text, so I’ll learn as I go.
How does this look?

I’m sorry I was late, too. I’m not going to be available this week for chess after all. I hope someone else can take my place.
thats fine in any case let me know. your diagram looks ok. i can deal with it.
Stuart, there, after me being a half an hour late, i didn’t think you would show up. Therefore i left. You did leave a move responsive, therefore, shall we assume that that is on ongoing game? Or did You just;post that as an example? Not sure.
