Yahoo Chess for SBR Points Monday (8/24) Night.

[ryanspeer2001]

I'm bored as hell and did this with poker and chess last night.

Anyone up for a game?

If so reply in here with your yahoo name and I will set up a private table with no timer.

5 points a game.

Trust me when I say I'm nothing special at Chess so don't be intimidated.

My record as of now is 1-0 with a Win over Tsoprano.

[ryanspeer2001]

My table is set up at Yahoo Chess > Social > Lobster Lagoon.

[DeeWizzle]

Haven't played in years but I'm down.

[ryanspeer2001]

Ok Dee, go to the yahoo room and you can post your Yahoo name here so I know to invite you or you can PM it to me if you like.

[ryanspeer2001]

Still no takers? Come on boys.

[DeeWizzle]

Will do Ryan.

[ryanspeer2001]

First match tonight is against jellobrifra.

[jellobiafra]

Nice game ryan!

[ryanspeer2001]

Jello played a hell of a game. Had a one piece leverage early on and road it out to a strong mid game and dominating finish.

Can't wait to play him again.

I would do it but I'm in Colorado and using a laptop. Playing chess without a mouse wouldn't be pleasant. If I can hook up a mouse at some point, maybe tomorrow night. I think there's one somewhere in the room, but it's too late now to go looking for it.

Thanks man, but in all fairness that was a 1-1 split. You pounced on me the first game and were in position to grab a rook early. If the game didn't crash there you were in very strong position.

Would love a rematch in the next couple days.

[DeeWizzle]

Ready

[ryanspeer2001]

Match #2 tonight. Vs. Deewhizzle.

[shhhhh22]

i'll play but not sure how to get into the room. do you have a link to the site

[ryanspeer2001]

Game 1 was very defensive but I found a hole and took it for the win.

Currently in a rematch.

Next up is shhhhh22

[jellobiafra]

Sweet. I'll be bumping this thread tomorrow I bet.

Points might end up adding something to this place after all. There, I said it.

Gambling on chess. Love it.

If you noticed I put Monday 8/24 in the title so I will open a new thread tomorrow.

I should be home ready to play around 12am EST as I have a poker tourney to go to before hand.

[ryanspeer2001]

Game #2 with DeeWhizle is complete.

I attacked swiftly and got another early kill in.

Thank you Dee and we will face off again soon!

Next up: Shhhhh22.

[DeeWizzle]

Good game Ryan, Thnx for the ass whoopin.

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

did yahoo chess go to shit i remember there used to be thousands of people in those rooms a few years ago, i just went to yahoo<games<board<chess<and in all the beginner intermediate advanced sections there's 0 players in all rooms.

[ryanspeer2001]

Good game Ryan, Thnx for the ass whoopin.

These things happen. I took a whooping earlier from Jello so I had to return the favor.

Their IT Department did though. The Tech is horrible but the rooms are still full it appears.

[StraitShooter]

going to bed now but im game one night

[shhhhh22]

Great game ryan... you gave me a hell of a run for my POINTS!!

[ryanspeer2001]

Game #4 Shhhhh22 laid a beatdown on. He constantly had an upper hand and I needed 2 key risks to happen and I had guarenteed check mates but he did not allow it to happen. Very solid player.

My record on the night.

2-0-0 vs. DeeWhizzle
0-1-1 vs. Jellobiafra
0-1-0 vs. Shhhhh22

2-2-1 All Time.

Early Chess power rankings.

1. Shhhhh22
2-t. ryanspeer2001
2-t. jellobrafia
4-. DeeWhizzle

Shhhhh22 is clearly the king from my limited experience tonight.

Congrats to the winners and thank you losers paying your coin debt.

See you tomorrow boys.

ryan what a disaster with the betting eh? fcking judges I am disappointed can't imagine how pissed you are............. oh well good old US of A for yah

[Dark Horse]

What's your ELO rating?

A 32 man chess tournament could be fun. But SBR would have to hand out the points. I could play one game a week. Max.

Russian Judges blew it for me tonight. They hate Americans.

I would love a big chess tourney but the matches would definitely have to be spread out.

When I used to play a long time ago on Yahoo my ELO was consistently between 1500-1600 or in other words a mid to high level Class C player. Nothing to write home about.

The ratings I have up now are more fun than anything with such an extremely small sample size and considering that the 3 other competitors only played me and not each other the judgment was based only off of how difficult I found them to be.

[shhhhh22]

I agree, a chess tourney would be freakin sweet.

[yisman]

got the mouse now, ryan, if you're interested in playing.

I haven't played regularly in over three years, but I still remember how the pieces move!
