The forum has been very quiet all month. I don't think I've ever seen this long a period of time without someone posting something worth talking about. Politics is always a topic that gets heated discussions going. Is everyone happy with our president elect? I read somewhere that he plays chess. Wou...

How accurate is the info listed in "Who is Online"? It always seems to say that there are 3 users on line. With all the people playing here there has to be more people playing at any given time than just 3.

langelli

Thanks!

langelli

I see a challenge posted by "system" When I pull up "system's" profile I see no info. Does anyone know who or what "system" is?

langelli

I was in Manhattan when the World Trade Center was hit. I'll never forget watching the towers cave in on themselves. My heart goes out to all the surviving family and friends. God bless them all.

langelli

Thanks, Marandreo, but 1 site is enough. I spend 99% of my chess time here. No reason to go elsewhere.

langelli

There's a chess site I go to to play "Blitz Chess". The site is gameknot.com. Blitz Chess is played in real time and each game is limited to 10 minutes. The wins and losses don't effect ratings. Its a cool thing to do to just play a quick game that means nothing, or something to do if one doesn't ha...

langelli

Welcome! You're going to find net-chess to the best chess site on the internet. I've tried them all and keep coming back here. Good luck and good games.

langelli

How long has net-chess been around?

langelli

Very well said Mic, and very true.

langelli

Any place online I can go to see the rules and possibly play a game.

langelli

What is bughouse chess?

langelli

Well done chessgirl. There's no stopping you now. Your enthusiasm is most definately contageous, and you are a fun person to play. Perhaps some day I'll actually beat you in a game. Then again, maybe not! It's good to have you aboard. Keep up the good work.
Lou

langelli

My condolences chessgirlwi. I just lost a good friend a couple of weeks ago, and i feel your pain. Mic, what does that ending on all your writings mean? The words don't make sense. "chess strength has gone done ratings are unrealistic"??????????
Lou

langelli

same here!

langelli

Thank You!

langelli

Greg,
Game #g1104883237 is a draw, but my opponent won't end the game. Please help!
Lou

langelli

I thought so. Thanks Greg!

langelli

No other pieces on the board. Just his king and knight, and my king.

langelli

Is it possible to achieve checkmate wiuth just a king and knight?

langelli

Your English looks good to me Islanderfan, but what do I kinow? I've never played "the world" in a game of chess.

langelli

congrats mic. 1200 wins is amazing, but even more amazing is that you've played 3100 games in about as long as it took me to play 450.
WELL DONE!!!

langelli

Are you for real? It is you that has to prove yourself to us, not us to you. Why do you want us to jump thru hoops just to play a game of chess? This is the best chess site out there, and there are lots of good people to play with here. I hope you come down to earth and figure that out.

langelli

Let's do it! I'll post the challenge.

langelli

I guess it takes a major event to get the forum hopping. I've seen more action here since Bobby Fischer's death than ever before. That's good! Its nice to have someplace to chat when I'm waiting for my turn to move. This is the best place to play on the internet. Thanks Greg.

langelli

glimmung, Nils (energy) is right. Ledger was not close to being a GM. I looked around the internet and learned he was a solid playher who played every day, but wasn't rated. From the info I gathered I think if he played here at net-chess he would probably be around a 2000-2200 player. A good solid p...

langelli

I didn't know he played. Was he close to being a GM? Does anybody know how many living GMs there are?

langelli

Mic, The ability to express ones opinion is what makes this country great. I don't have to agree with you to appreciate your words. Hope we cross paths in a game.
Lou

langelli

Mic, Your ranting and raving lessens the impact of your words. Yes, everything you say is true. Bobby Fischer was a troubled individual, but he's dead. It's all over now. Let it go!

langelli

Gentlemen, Mr Fischer was a free man and entitled to persue any religion he chose for himself. That's one of the basic freedoms this country was built on. Many men and women have laid down their lives to preserve that right. We don't have to agree, but we do have to live and let live. I tip my hat t...

langelli

Is there a way to see a list of net-chess members listed in order of ranking? It would be interesting to see where one ranks in relationship to all other players. I remember there used to be a way to do this, but I don't see it anymore.

langelli

I came across something new on net-chess. I started a match and didn't notice the "add time" I usually get added on to my "remaining time" when I make a move was blank. What this means, of course, is that the original time allowed to make the first move is all the time I will have to complete an ent...

langelli

I know you're right, redketchuplover, but it's frustrating none the less.

langelli

I hate it when someone who has been making 2-3 moves a day for weeks all of a sudden stops moving because he/she has lost a major piece, or lost positional advantage. There ought to be a penalty when it's obvious someone is doing this.

langelli

I appreciate the explanation. I've been wondering about that for a while.

langelli

What is the "last warning" column on the "all my games" page?

langelli

I play a game They call it Chess One things for sure Itâ€™s above the rest I play in good times I play in bad I play when Iâ€™m happy And when Iâ€™m sad I show no mercy Noneâ€™s shown to me But thatâ€™s the way It has to be Iâ€™de wish you luck But it wouldnâ€™t be true Iâ€™ll just play my hardest U...

langelli

Are you saying "letitbe" intentionally lost some games to you? If so, he helped you increase your rating, right? That angered you? I think I'll throw out a challenge to "letitbe". Thanks for the tip.

langelli

Merry Christmas to you all chess players. This is a great site to go to when one wants to relax and unwind. Thanks Greg, you do a great job.

langelli

Try "Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess." Lots of basic info and lots of illustrations requiring the kids to pencil in moves. It's perfect for beginners weather they be children or adults.

langelli

The best of luck! Although we've never played, it's good to see you back.

langelli

Did you ever consider that idontknow is a child? Give her a break. No need to ban her from the system. Just post your challenges outside her rating.

langelli

Whitekings, I see you got some wise-guy responses to your initial posting on the net-chess forum, including one from me. Surely you see the arrogance in your first words, intentional or not. None-the -less, I guess I understand your initial impression of the net-chess community. I have been playing ...

langelli

LUCKY US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

langelli

Greg,
I find them to be useful. Sometimes I'm looking for a particular game that I remember the position of the pieces, but not my opponent's name or the game #. This is a great site to play chess. Keep up the good work.
Thanks

langelli

gmiller, My employer recently purchased a program called Web Sense. Web Sense limits access to undesirable web sites. It was necessary to do this because some employees were accessing some very undesirable sites. My problem is that it doesn't allow access to games, net chess included. I know about s...

g miller.
I just mated my opponent on game # 1104699997, but have not gotten credit for the win. Please correct the situation.
langelli

langelli

"Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess" is an excellent book for beginners. Very basic. Teaches pins, forks, and other very basic skills. Consist mostly of diagrams that the beginner can pencil in responses to. My 2 children used it in the beginning, and it greatly increased their skill.
