What is the difference between a rated and an unrated game?

Do we start with a rehearsal or do we go straight to the tournament?

If you are a new sign up I believe you must play rated games until you are given a rating. I'm up for either or my friend.

I have a lot of spare time waiting for Danydandan's moves, so I might as well start the next game. Who's next?

I've got some games to go before I can play in a tourney, so I'm willing.

I deleted a game where the other person didn't move.

Sorry man,

Trying to fit chess into a full 40-50 hour work week, three kids and a global pandemic is difficult. I have the app on my the RHP application on my phone so I usually move once or twice a day when I get a minute to sit down.

i think i'm playing a game against bobby fisher or kasparov ,he has a 15 - 0 record and is totally wiping the floor with me,

so i'll have a free slot available very soon,

i must say,i much prefer playing lots of separate games as opposed to playing 1 game in 20 minutes,i've realised i need at least 5 minutes to think.:tu:

No need to apologise, bro ;)

@joc I lost my game to @GoldenWolf

He handed me my @ss, after wiping the floor with it.

Don't worry it's not part of the tourney yet.

I know you'll play better in the tourney.  We will all be more serious.

Today is not my day. Three loses! Hope I'm sharper when the tournament begins, or I'll be cannon fodder to You guys.

We will have a tournament when there are enough participants to have one.  But keep on playing and practicing.  Last Tournament...danydanday was a mere novice...before the thing was over he was threatening and winning over most...

...usually I think more people have more time for such a thing in the fall and winter...so...summer is probably not the best time to have one...but whenever we have enough participants is really the key.  Maybe fifteen or twenty...we'll see how it goes...patience is a virtue...especially in chess  :)

Fun trivia:
The Danish word for chess, "skak", is also the word for keeping something at bay. Holde i skak = Keep at bay.
It is uncertain which came first, the expression or the game name, or if one inspired the other.

@diddyman68 sorry for ending the game so abruptly, but I made a huge mistake. One that I could not forgive myself for.

I really suck at this. Even the Level 0 (zero!) AI kicks my @ss time after time :D

You can play and play and play and play and play until you are blue in the face and totally burned out...and you will still suck.

But...you can arm yourself with a  certain degree of 'knowing' quite easily.  I would suggest You Tube as a source for your improvement.  There are lots of videos on strategies.  :yes:

Yes there's loads of tips and hints on youtube.a good one  is 5 ways to get better at chess..by chess talk.some things that have helped me are..

Avoid games like blitz..i lost 12 games in a row,mainly because i didn't have time to think.

Use the analyze tool ,check to see if when you move ,you don't leave a piece exposed.

And a little hint that will definitely help @sci-nerd .be patient, develop your pieces at the start of the game.don't play so aggressively.

Follow the basics,learn from mistakes and you WILL get better.
