Enjoyed it. We’ll play again sometime. Both at the same sort of level i’d guess off that.

assuming it’s black’s turn, then the black king isn’t in check but can’t move anywhere without putting themselves in check, which they can’t do, so it’s a stalemate. i think.

We’re going to have to look at changing that rule because that is BULLSHIT my friend.

i dunno, depends - if you’re black and you’ve been absolutely fucked all game long and then fluke a draw like that it’s quite good

I didn’t know about the stalemate rule, tbh. I thought i’d put him in a position where he couldn’t move without being in check and that therefore meant i had him. The guy down the boozer who taught me the basics has got a lot to answer for!

Hang on, would rg1 have not also resulted in a stalemate?

yeah, I totally knew that this was a rule, and that was what I was playing towards at the end.

What a penis.

Still, all good fun.

Love a bit of chess now and then

This is quite cool, drops you into in-game scenarios and tou can either play the next move or complete the game…

Used to be good at this imho but haven’t played it for about 13 years. Is it something you can forget?

#45

it’s like riding a bike so yes you’ve probably forgotten

I prefer go

Anyone fancy a game?

Okay. I’ve done a round of fixtures using a random number generator. If i’ve missed anyone let me know and i’ll add you to the list for next time.

Was thinking maybe just one game for now, and we can increase it to best of three and five as and when.

Just go to this link, click ‘Play With a Friend’ and PM them the link, or use another site if easier.

Give people, say, a week to play at their own leisure?
