joywendy:God knows I can never know how to play it. . Never patient to wait to see the end. Just want the game to end and I may just take the big risks to win. Carry the Queen, bishop and whatever out to cancel you out. Maybe I need to learn it. Might increase my tolerance level and make me a bit more patient. 1 Like |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by joywendy(f): 11:04am On Feb 17, 2015 |
onegig: Good morning. Never say Never lol! chai YES!!!! * dancing shoki* FINALLY Glad to hear, i can take you in some simple basics and movement. you can also join my lil class with cocolav There are also chess ebooks too that can help, i have one that could be of help to you. if you got time |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by onegig(m): 11:10am On Feb 17, 2015 |
joywendy: I would love to see you dance etighi instead. Just allow me win most you hear. So I find it interesting else I might just get pissed off and just forget learning at all. I can be a "spoilt kid" when the circumstances are right. 1 Like |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by joywendy(f): 11:30am On Feb 17, 2015 |
onegig: spoilt kid indeed . No problem at all but when you have grown up a bit, i can't let you keep wining. You then start to learn from your mistakes and all. |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by luxanne(f): 3:35pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
dablazor: Hehe not too worry, we promised not to laugh @ u if u lose |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by luxanne(f): 4:00pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
joywendy: Yeah I play but still in need of extra coaching. joywendy: Thot I was the only one confused, lol. Well, atleast they both understand themselves n their code names to keep the play going. I'l prefer a face to face play I think, never played online like this or any other way. joywendy: Where is the thread? U have a student @onegig, u should join me in taking the classes. Not only does chess increase ur tolerance and patient level, it aids critical thinking as well but know this, I'l be your senior in the class u hear 1 Like |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by luxanne(f): 4:18pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
onegig: Tah! I disagree x 100 How then will you learn or find the game interesting if u are allowed to win most of the time? The wrong moves u make while playing is what you need to learn in order to be better and win an opponent. Do you know how many times I lost before I had my final breakthru? Dude was surprised when I won him 1 Like |

luxanne: I no say na that senior dey trip you pass. I dey come madam senior. luxanne: I can play fairly well if I want to but when it comes to things involving leisure like chess I like to just cut corners and just end it. Why would everyone just sit back and try defending always, trying not to make errors when you can just bring the Big boys out and just check mate everything and make some fireworks happen? Just take the high risks, go all out and just chop things. If i were a football coach, na attack from start to finish. In chess what I find interesting is termed a bad strategy. |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by luxanne(f): 7:12pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
onegig: Lmao I feel u jare That defending ish can be damn annoying until they make a wrong move. Even in scrabble, u'l find them - ppl who would never open the game up while playing but would jump at any chances u create. If am playing with such kind, I usually just end the game sharperly by saying 'I can't play like this' what's the point boring myself up with them...nah, that one na no go area abeg or perhaps, I'l employ dis ur coaching techniques but with sense |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by dablazor: 7:30pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
luxanne: Lol what if I win? Would u marry me then? |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by joywendy(f): 7:32pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
see them 'why should i seat and defend always' BLAH BLAH BLAH na fast game una want. blitz chess will fit u both , you don't need to think too much but you got to play fast and think fast. Timer is involved, sometimes even more fun than the normal classic deep thought chess. Too much of it though can somehow spoil your classic chess game. |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by dablazor: 7:34pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
Where is goofy? Am about scattering the board, its getting tedious. |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by dablazor: 7:35pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
joywendy: I enjoy playing blitz, its one of my strongest points back then in college. I don't think it would kill your 'classic game', but to me it actually helps u think faster when playing deep thoughts... Unlike deep thoughts when plan 10 to 15 games ahead before even making ur first move, blitz let's you experiment.. Talking exhibitions tho not the tournament. |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by onegig(m): 8:44pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
luxanne:Yeah true. Can be very annoying when people just sit back and wait for you to take the big step. Let me not dissuade you o. Learn from the pros like joy. I would join you guys later. |
Re: Who Wants To Play Chess?? by onegig(m): 8:46pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
joywendy: Now you are talking. where you keep that blitz chess before wey you dey come show me d1, k1, k2 and stuff? There's no time to check time. So we want fast games, action parked ones infact. |
