Game 1 is over. Guess what: MuseBlog won. Congratulations, MuseBlog! Also, condolences, MuseBlog. Better luck next time.
So here we go again. As before, anybody can make a move at any time. You don’t have to restrict yourself to playing one color, but please don’t make more than one move in a row. The game will be over too quickly if people just use it to play themselves.
Cake, second move this time. Ah, well. I think I’ll only play black this time
Has anyone here ever played Suicide? It’s a version of chess where if you can take your opponent’s piece, you have to, and the object of the game is to get rid of all of your pieces.
I played it quite often at chess club, usually during/inbetween/after competitions, mainly to relax.
Look, a pawn! (yep, I finally got a move in
)
SFTD(T?)P; but I just had a crazy idea:
What if we made a sort of “chess roulette” (in addition to this)? There would be two teams of people composed of reliable MBers, both would be roughly equal in total strength, who would each take turns moving for black or white.
For example (I’m just naming random ‘bloggers who’ve posted on the last thread) if I was on a team with
rosebuds2Rosebud2 and Errata, against KA and (*insert others here*), Errata would move first for whichever color we are, thenrosebuds2Rosebud2, then me, then Errata again etc. .Each person would have one day to move, if they don’t, then the next person on the team just moves for them (we could just post when we move, like on the old threads). Of course, MB chess-players (including, but not limited to) myself are somewhat notorious for not showing up, but if we had at least six or so reliable people it would probably work. I think it would really be interesting if we could pull it off because we’d have to learn to work with the other players’ strategies. Is anyone else interested?
WIN.
That would be fun
Considering how much trouble we have keeping two-person games going, I’m not sure how well something like this would work. But I’m willing to give it a try if you all will do the organizing.
That sounds cool!
(My name’s capitalized and has only one s, by the way.)
Sorry, I was doing it from memory and didn’t bother to check…
[Screengname Gnome chanced by to help out.]
YES.
( I have lost my chess skillz, I would probably play a banana peel.
And lose. )
No doubt about it, Black’s sixth and seventh moves were about as bad as chess moves can be. I don’t see an obvious way out of this mess, but in MuseBlog games, you never know…
I wonder if there’s a traitor about….
Entirely possible. Either that or someone who’s really bad at chess but doesn’t know it.
I get the impression that people don’t pay very close attention to these group games.
So, what next? Teams?
