I'd like to try my hand at challenging someone for fun before I enter any tourny. If you'd like to play me, PM me. I've signed up at http://hoylegames.sierra.com/index.jsp
-- Atlantis Rises
Full Version: Open Challenge
If I knew how to play I would accept. But I dont. Sorry!
You might like to sign up with www.redhotpawn.com aswell, as thats where almost all the UM chess participants are playing their games. 
If you sign up to redhotpawn I'll gladly play you
I'll sign up asap. Thanks!
K, I've challenged someone called Atlantis Rises who signed up today on Hot Pawn. I'm assuming thats you right? 
Yup. That's me!
Talon, you never told me you were the champ?! ARG!!! I'm in for it now. Doesn't make a difference though, I've boxed myself in in our game.

But on the brightside you're learning the way I play the game so you can expect certain similarities in my future games and use that against me next time
I've been challenged to two other games because of this thread. Am I over my head here? Nah! I always seem to turn things around after a while.
I can't say I don't recognise those players. But don't worry you'll be fine.
But how can I beat an "omnipotent entity"? 
Good game Atlantis
Good game Saru
Good game
I was holding out for the chance to get a stalemate, didn't think I was going to manage it for a while there.
I was convinced you were going to end up with two queens

I know, I saw it for a while too, I was really hoping the exchange of knights would make it easier to keep track of your queen and stop it. But in the end you were too determined to get it, and I just couldn’t stop it

I wasn’t actually to interested in getting a second queen, I was really just hoping if it was close enough to queening you’d concentrate on it rather than go for my back rank
…. Didn’t work
GG Talon. I lost!
Good Game Burnside

I can't get past this page, the links just don't work. It complains about ActiveX but I already have all that enables.

Edit: Saru, already did, everythings enabled, I just don't see why its still complaining about ActiveX

Are you running any firewalls or anti-virus programs ?
Try disabling them temporarily to see if it helps, if not then at least that eliminates them as the cause.

Nope, all off. I just double checked.
Am I supposed to DL something at all?
I'm not sure what else to suggest, there is obviously a problem with your ActiveX / Security settings in IE, I think you'll just need to tweak them until the problem is resolved.
sometimes I relly hate Hoyle
I'm going to DL firefox and see if it can get on
Hoyle won't work with Firefox or any Mozilla based browsers unfortunately.

That time is in GMT, you need to select the correct time zone to suit where you live in your profile in order to see the correct times.
