luxanne:

Ok I take that back, so what will you have us do then? ...yeah, I saw ur move after I commented, let's wait for him then.
And it would be best you both not taking too long to play turns, makes the game sluggish sorta. How about deciding on a particular time of the day to log in here and play?

Nice to have you around smiley

God knows I can never know how to play it. cheesy.

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.

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.

No problem at all smiley 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.

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.

Tah! I disagree x 100 angry

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 grin

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? cheesy

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.

Lmao grin grin 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 grin

see them 'why should i seat and defend always' BLAH BLAH BLAH tongue grin

na fast game una want.

blitz chess will fit u both tongue, 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.

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.
