KokiriChild 1,229 Member · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Anyone here a fan of the logician's game? I love it, but I am quite bad. Still, it would be pretty fun to have a group that can play together and try to improve. Just checking if there would be any interest?

Makar 1,827 Member · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 It's been a while since I've played but I'm up for a game every now and then. Last time I played was on chess.com like 5 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus 2,879 Member · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I used to play a bunch years ago. I got really into it for a bit but at this point I’ve pretty much forgotten all my openings and defenses and stuff. Really rusty but I’ve started playing again a bit. I use chess with friends.

Bearcat-Doug 4,261 Member · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I haven't played much in the last few years. I was better at speed chess than regular games. I played a lot of 1 minute games back in the day on Yahoo and was ranked fairly high, but I was 50/50 when it came to standard chess.

noiseredux 230 Member · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I feel like a 51 Worldwide Games chess club would be super fitting for this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil 1,105 Member · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Does PS3 or PS4 offer anything in the chess department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4 has a number of chess programs, like Pure Chess and Chess Ultra. Chess Ultra even has a VR component. I used to play scholastic and adult tourneys in high school. Was way more into chess theory than actually playing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Tank 689 Member · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have an account with Chess.com and it is free. There is a paid version which includes a bunch of extras but it depends how much you really want to analyze your game. I get into spurts of playing chess randomly throughout the year. I prefer speed chess. If anyone would like to play I wouldn't mind a match here or there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesfanatic 8 Member · Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Im definitely a fan. Its hard to even say ur good at this game considering the skill gap ha. So im pretty bad but i do love me some chess. Not sure if hes on vgs, but a old na user than went by firebrand, i think, was a grandmaster.

KokiriChild 1,229 Member · Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 I can make a topic in the tabletop club if people want. Also, Chess.com is free and tries its best to give you an estimated FIDE rating, which is pretty neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokiriChild 1,229 Member · Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 It could be fun to have a tournament or something on here just for the hell of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, I seem to be a lot better at speed chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus 2,879 Member · Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Speed chess is absolutely my downfall. I can usually hold my own in regular chess but speed chess just sucks every bit of ability out of me. Usually won’t play faster than 5min a side because beyond that I might as well be making random moves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do better making split second moves than I do when I have time to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves 9,479 Administrator · Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 One of the earliest things I learned when learning professional chess was "never trade". The person who initiates a trade is nearly ALWAYS giving away advantage. Simply NEVER initiate a trade and you'll almost instantly find your game improving.
