A public game of correspondence chess

**jrandom** · 2nd November 2004, 10:56

Who'd be up for one?

Any closet KB chess fans, register your interest here. You don't all have to play, but it'd be good to know how much interest and/or kibitzing could be relied upon.

The players would alternate posts, with moves in standard notation. No time pressure, it can run for however many days it needs to. Intervals between moves can simply be filled with taunting, analysis and the casting of aspersions upon the players' ancestry.

Full public commentary allowed; this would be for the fun of it, not to prove any points with a win or loss.

Comments?

Well, if we just paste in the move history in algebraic notation with each new 'move' post, it can be pasted right back into most chess programs (eg, WinBoard) and reconstructed on the screen. As in, say...

1. e4 c6
2. Nc3 d5
3. Nf3 Bg4

I don't mind posting download links and instructions for anyone who hasn't done that before and wants to participate.

Not my cup of tea. Be funny to watch however. A whole heap of geeks in cyberspace, chatting and making moves.......

I might go now.
