Malkovich Chess Game Interest Thread and Archive - Page 4 - Chess and Board Game Strategy

Remaining list for a third game (to start in a week or two) is:

seswatha ~1700
airwave ~1900
DON CASTI 2000
Noir_Desir 2150
chessterfish ~1400
chocaholic ~1750
BobJoeJim ~1300
Cadaz ~1700
Nikachu ~2100

Are any of seswatha, airwave, or jewbinson still interested in playing? Or will we need to move further down the list?

With the Nikachu/Brownian_Motion game moving quickly, and already out of the opening, I'd say we're ready to get another game started. Who on the list is still interested in getting a game going?

This was a lot of fun. I'll put myself back on the list.

Well, we have room to get two more games going now, with Nikachu and Brownian_Motion finishing in record time. I PM'ed seswatha and airwave the other day to see if they're still interested and seswatha isn't up to it right now, while I haven't heard back yet from Airwave, so I'd say that if Don Casti still wants to play then him vs. Noir_Desir looks like a good matchup, or else Noir vs. Nikachu would be a fun game to have if Don isn't interested.

After that, chessterfish is up next, and I'd be happy to be the opponent for that one, and hopefully redeem myself for the ridiculously bad performance in my first try at this whole Malkovich thing.

I haven't played any chess in a while. I have played 2 Malkovich games a while ago, but if no one cares I'd like to get on the end of the list.

I don't know my rating though. On gameknot it's around 1800 if that helps at all. My FICS rating could be looked up if you thought a blitz rating would be useful.

I would like to be put on the list. I have no official CC rating, but I estimate my CC playing strength to be at around 1800. This is based on my play at a subscription site devoted to correspondence chess, RedHotPawn.com. My last over the board rating was 1450, but that was about 10 years ago.

I'd be up for Malkovish redemption as well ... and hopefully before the rating slide drops me below 2000FIDE!

of course i'll play whoever i'm assigned, but would prefer an opponent of similar strength for obvious reasons.

Airwave16 did belatedly respond to my PM that he is still interested in playing a game. There's a little bit of a rating difference there, but not too bad, and the only better (rating) option is to give Nikachu a second game in a row. Not that that's the end of the world. I'd say it's up to Noir who he'd prefer to play of those two.

Proof that my statement that it is "not the end of the world" holds true

I don't know if I'm late to the party or what but I've finally gotten better and I'm willing to play now if no one has arranged a game yet.

edit: I've also increased my rating since first posting here, i'm 1850 FIDE now

So me vs Nikachu and Airwave vs Seswatha seem like logical pairings, now i'd leave it to BBJ who will start first.

We only have one active game going, I see no reason not to start both of them whenever the people involved are ready

And as soon as one of those three games finishes, I'll be happy to start up a game with Chessterfish, assuming my prospective opponent there is still interested as well
