Hackdeath vs YouKnowWho Malkovich Chess Game - Page 5 - Chess and Board Game Strategy

I'm really sorry everyone, this game should have been finished long ago, but for whatever reason its got delayed heavily... I promise I will post here on Monday, I've got a lot of work to do before then, but after that my subsequent moves will be a lot quicker and we should be able to finish this at least before the end of the month.

Suggestion for next time:

Play a 15 minute game (maybe 2 sec increment to avoid time scramble nonsense) on a server, and then each analyze the game in depth and post it in a thread for discussion.

Yeah, for really amusing spoilers we need a game between people like me. <spoil>NO THAT DROPS THE KNIGHT YOU MORON!!!</spoil> followed by <spoil>NO HIS KNIGHT IS HANGING YOU MORON!!!</spoil>

A well played but drawish game just doesn't leave too much for the audience to say

I could certainly create a game with more interesting spoilers if anyone would be interested in watching me take down this forum's boss.

1. I know he's serious about playing.
2. He gets to choose the colors so I don't have to.

I seem to have no problem 'blundering' even from totally won positions or in correspondence games.

I wouldn't mind this, it'd give me an extra hour or so free time a week!

ganstaman, I would be absolutely willing to do a malkovich game with you, but I think it's best if we wait until after the holidays to do it. I'm going out of town for two weeks, leaving on Saturday, and while I'll have limited internet access for quick check-ins, a game like this would probably get left alone. After the New Year though I'll start it up, if you're still interested.

Yeah, waiting until soon after New Years is fine. Gives me more time to work on my game...

Just start up the thread when you're ready, I should still be checking in at least daily.

Epic.

I'm on ganstaman's side because I'm assuming he's the underdog here, and I love it when the underdog wins. Like John Higgins the other day. Unbelievable

I'm actually pretty sure I'm the underdog. You know how they say that "Those who can, do, and those who can't, teach?" I run these tournaments for pretty much the same reason

No stealing my supporters!

On FICS, my blitz rating is higher than yours, but your standard rating is higher than mine.

I've been playing a fair amount of blitz lately, and hit my peak FICS rating (1347) within the last month, though I've since dropped 50 points off of that mark. The standard rating you mention is based on a total of 26 games, all but five of which were played in 2003 (and your standard rating is based on three games). So I'd be inclined to say the blitz rating is probably more accurate, and your CURRENT rating is 81 points above my PEAK rating there.

Also, I have a USCF provisional rating of 1246, based on three tournaments when I was in high school (2001-2002) and one tourney the following year as a college freshman (19 games total). For whatever that's worth, lol.

Moral of the story: you are probably better than me, although the margin is probably pretty small. Certainly we're close enough in ability that we should be able to put together a competitive and relatively evenly matched (if not "well played") game. And ultimately we both suck compared to a lot of the posters here, so we will most likely provide plenty of opportunities for our spectators to LOL in the spoilers

I graduated high school in 2003, so it would seem that you're just a year older than me. I always assumed you were much older.

Haha, I completely forgot about that, but remembered as soon as I saw that this thread had been bumped (even before seeing it was you that bumped it). I'll start the thread up now (and then go to sleep).
