__Kratos__ Posted September 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just wondering how long have you guys been playing chess? I learned when I was little but never really played. Started playing a bit more freshman year in person and with whatever people I could. Started playing online about 4 years ago on Zone.com, still don't really play that much today. Then this tourney popped up and I thought "heck, why not? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtemperate Posted September 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I played it a bit when i wa little, against my dad... he even let me win sometimes Oth then that I really only started playing it agai at the start of the last tournament... apart from the odd game here or there over the years...

Talon Posted September 28, 2005 #13 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Just wondering how long have you guys been playing chess? I really only started playing in the school chess club when I was 12, was in that for 6 years. Nadn't played since I was 18 when I took part in the first tournment. But its all about looking at the board and remembering moves, so it only takes a few games to work of the rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnSide Posted September 28, 2005 #14 Share Posted September 28, 2005 w00t, 3 for 6 so far. Much better than last time at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC098 Posted September 28, 2005 #15 Share Posted September 28, 2005 BS beat me does that mean im eliminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnSide Posted September 28, 2005 #16 Share Posted September 28, 2005 No, it means you've lost one match. You have to play everyone, twice. When you win, you get 3 points. After everyone has played everyone, twice, then the scores are tallied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstone810 Posted September 28, 2005 #17 Share Posted September 28, 2005 BS beat me . . . Don't mind me! I'm just laughing over Chrisco's abbreviation for Burnside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowdy Posted September 28, 2005 #18 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I used to play when i was young against my dad. I used to win against him - only if i started crying I havn't really played for about a year now but i might start getting back into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeProphet Posted September 28, 2005 #19 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Don't mind me! I'm just laughing over Chrisco's abbreviation for Burnside. Ahhahaha, I have the same problem. Everytime I hear someone say BS, I'm thinking of Burnside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley-Star*Child Posted September 29, 2005 #20 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I was wondering that myself (how many games are to be played). I thought it stopped at 6 all up because it was said you could have 6 games going. I personally used to be quite good at chess as a kid, but uh, my chess playing stopped right there so besides a few games here and there I really haven't played in years.

thebarman Posted September 29, 2005 #21 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Is anyone else finding RHP slower than before? Not the whole site but the chess board, especially in the "Analyse Board" screen it takes ages to load each position. Just wanted to know if this was a site problem or a problem with my computer, and if the latter whether anyone has any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted September 29, 2005 Author #22 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I think it's the site, it can be quite slow sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kratos__ Posted September 29, 2005 #23 Share Posted September 29, 2005 It's busy right now if you check the board you are playing... Heck... last move was like watching paint dry it took so long to put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarman Posted September 29, 2005 #24 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Oh well, at least it's not just me. Although I was kind of hoping it was my computer then at least I could do something about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted September 29, 2005 Author #25 Share Posted September 29, 2005 It doesn't do that very often actually, right now for example the site is really quick. I rarely have any speed issues with it, although it can happen sometimes. If it does it all the time for you then it could be a problem at your end.
