AtlantisRises Posted January 10, 2019 #59 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The star indicates if you are paying subscriber or not. Paying a few bucks a year allows you to play as many games as you want concurrently as well asjoin tournaments etc. I played there about 10 years ago after the last UM tournament and had a blast for a few months until the real world took over. I subscribed again and I hope that I can spend some time working on my chess for a while. One of the guys I am currently playing has over 2500 games being played concurrently which seems rather ridiculous. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay...here is a tip. Before you actually make a move...make sure that no one can take your piece...sounds silly, but I don't know how many stupid moves I've made where I just go DOH! the second after I make a move. Like crossing a busy street...look back and forth a few times. Edited January 10, 2019 by joc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have learned how to use another feature on the RedHotPawn chess board... the "Resign" button. Yes, Father. This can sometimes be a holy blessing, if you know what I mean PS: Dany, You played the opening like Karsparov. Then what? OMG!

Earl.Of.Trumps Posted January 11, 2019 #71 Share Posted January 11, 2019 joc, Saru, what do you think about putting an orange "Chess Tourney Participant" on all signed up players to get attention and drum up a few more customers Joc, your orange "Tournament Director" stuck out like a soar thumb.

Or prolonging it's agony so resignation from an unwinnable situation is preferable to torture and offering a draw would be moot. Are you playing chess long? I see I'm well below the average amount of moves in a game which 40. Has anyone got to a 40 move game?

If I've played 50 games of chess in my lifetime I think I'd be over estimating. Can't even get beginner's luck. Playing chess on speed can't be good for you by the way.

Not sure if I call my self a pro lol, but I am a life member of United States Chess Federation. Chess was my main thing in life until I met Wifie. I knew that I had to get out of chess when the kids came on board. Really haven't played much since. Last game was about 3,4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
