Chess Eterna-ment Rankings

Inspection of the chess games on the blog found only one game (Tesseract vs. bookgirl_me) still in progress*. To keep things tidy going into the new year, the Chess GAPA (Robert) has adjudicated and closed all other games** of standard chess and calculated new MuseBlog Chess Ratings on the basis of the results. Ratings for Capablanca and Turbo Chess are unaffected.

Here are the new ratings, as of January 4, 2011 (numbers in parentheses indicate number of games on which the rating is based).

*(Finished on January 8; ratings updated to reflect the result.)

First, pie girl needs to sign up for a MuseBlog account. I don’t think she has one yet. Once she has an account, I can create a game board for the two of you.

bookgirl_me

in January 9th, 2011 @ 14:01

It’s like normal chess only with two extra pieces; the Archbishop (can move like a Bishop and a Knight) and the Chancellor (can move like a Rook and a Knight). You can see it as it was first created (and play around with the pieces) here. So far two have been completed: this one and this one; this one has been abandoned.

I’m not very good at chess, however.

Radiant_Darkness

It’s looking like a bad year for chess on the blog. Last month, four games were in progress. Now:

In Ducky vs. bookgirl_me, Ducky resigned without explanation after nine moves.

In SudoRandom vs. Radiant_Darkness, R_D has been waiting for Sudo to move since January 23.

In Radiant_Darkness vs. Pie Girl, R_D has been waiting for PG to move since January 8.

In Enceladus vs. SudoRandom, Sudo has been waiting for Enc to move since January 21. (Come on, Enceladus, just play 28 Qh5 check and get on with it!)

I wish there were a quicker game to play on the blog (Hex or Reversi, for example), but chess plug-ins are all I’ve found so far. I’ll keep looking.

Koko's Apprentice

in February 18th, 2011 @ 15:19

You can get an account by clicking Log in at the top of the page. Then click register and enter account info, and wait to get your account verified (After you’ve been on the blog about 6 months, I think) The GAPAs will set up a chess game once you have an account and someone accepts your challenge. My chess game with Errata isn’t very active right now though, so I’d play you if no one else does.

Mikazuki

in May 19th, 2011 @ 16:31

I found myself suddenly overloaded with various things due to the fact that my classes got all switched around until I had to make up a ton of stuff just to be able to do harder work; I didn’t feel as though I could keep up and I really didn’t want to leave Tesseract hanging, as I definitely forget about it. Things have slowed down a lot sooner than I thought they would, though…I apologize.
