Anyone on here play chess? - I started playing online about 18 months ago (I still can't really play that well on a board).
If anyone fancies a game I'm on a site called Gameknot & go by the name "Pawncollector" - (Yeah I know).
I have done ok against players of my own ability but soon get found out for the novice I am when I have a go against someone decent.
If you want to challenge me just follow the instructions - it's free & you can pack it in whenever you feel like it.
Cheers.
Ps I am not as my Gameknot profile says 88 years old but I do feel like it some days.
 
I used to play on gameknot a bit, but now play turn based Risk. I'm not very good at Chess really, but may well give you a game if I pick it up again.
 
I like my chess, play against my PC and think I'm not to shabby. I'll have a look......
 
One of those games that need to be played in person. My dad taught me, I taught my son. I'm no expert but I do enjoy it.
 
It absolutely doesn't need to be played in person, that's why online chess is so popular. It is best to learn the basics in person though

Agreed. 99% of my games have taken place vs a computer of some sort. My brother is the only one in the family who plays (who taught me), now he's in Brunei....and when I get the opportunity he gets whomped :winking:
 
I haven't played in years, might start up again! Little known fact about me, I finished 2nd in the Hamstel Junior School Chess Championship 1987!

I've challenged you to a game; beware I'm utterly poop at Chess...
 
Thanks DBP - Have a good game - I move a bit slower at weekends but pick up a bit in the week - bit like real life really.

Which site do you use? conquerclub.com is excellent for Risk IMO.

As to the chess - will sign up and give it a go - I use the hilariously named redhotpawn.com if anyone fancies a game on there - username is probably the same as on here

EDIT - challenged you to a game prawntobewild - good luck :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Greebosan - I think you will be at an advantage as my small brain usually only copes with one game at a time!
 
Right, have signed up to conquerclub using my SZ username.

Been a long time since I played Risk.
 
Just to add my own details - I'm on as greebosan on both Gameknot and conquerclub if anyone fancies a game. I'll probably go back to premium on CC in a while so if you fancy a game let me know and I'll reserve you a spot.

I missed out in that game Greebosan, and am maxed out gamewise at the moment. Will try and hook up soon though!

surely you should have used Pawntobewild?
 
Yes indeed i should 've - but i was on there before i was on here if you know what i mean -( and I am too stingy to pay for a name change on Gameknot).
 
Just want to make public that I have been soundly thrashed by Greebo & will probably meet the same fate against DWB. What do you expect? after all i'm 88 for gawds sake!
