Don't you mean you'll keep him updated on the scores everyone else gets off of you and your team...

Sorry man,couldnt resist.

Yep,I'm just a big 'ol bully. Saw Cliffs thread about round one.So that's 3 games each for round one right? Also how do we determine who makes the challenge to who & who has W/B in each game?Sorry if I'm getting ahead of the program,just curious how this will work.

Attitude??? That's not gonna help you guys! Ya see,I just been warming up and now I'm ready!!I dug around in the cupboard for a lil something I been saving up...wait for it...wait for it... & Now it's time to open up my Whole Can of Whoop-A&$ !! OH YEA!!! ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE!!!! By the way,I thi...

Awesome!Been ages since I had the chance to play in a tournament of any kind.Can't wait to get started.Thank's a lot for putting this together Brian! :D Thanks even more for telling me about it and inviting me in! You and everyone else have really made me feel welcome here and having good times so f...

Oh! I see.I misunderstood.Speaking for myself;my postal rating was a bit over 1900 USCF back when I was playing some years ago.My otb rating was low but rising.Had a tendancy to totally choke under any kind of time pressure.lol

Well,since this is a closed(and smaller) playing pool,you cant expect a direct correlation.However;assuming the Belgium rating system is similar to the US one(my apologies if this is an incorrect assumption),I've read that you can expect your established rating to wind up being 100-200 pts higher ro...

In the My Profile page there is a checkbox for email notifications.Welcome to the site.Lots of good folks here.


edit:Actually,select My Profile,then on the lower lefthand side select edit profile.That goes to the page with the selection for notification on or off.

pcmvr said they wanted in also in the other zapper thread.

Yay!Can't wait.Should be a lot of fun.On a side note...darnit Brian,didn't ya know site noobs were supposed to get the 1st 10 games or so as complimentary wins,ya big jerk...lol Now next time,just resign like you were supposed to and we'll call it even!

As a side note,is it ok to taunt your opponents here...as long as it's Brian?

I can respect that!

Yes. I am a man of many facets.Even some that are socially acceptable! lol

Actually just at work having a slow day.Too much time on my hands.lol

God you must be Cliff's brother! 8) Calm yourself grasshopper.I sense a disturbance in your energies.You must calm the conflicts within yourself and upon the chessboard.I understand that the journey towards enlightenment is difficult. I will; however, gladly give you as much aid as you are capable ...

Hey.I think you are all forgetting something important here...it's all about me!
Oh yea!

I think the team fortunate enough to get me should be named " The Awesome Alliance of Awesomeness" or Triple-A for short.Some good names for opposing teams would be; "We're not worthy", "Please,don't hurt me", "Here to bask in the glow of Chris's awesomeness" & maybe "I want to be like Chris when I ...

Yep! I'm so good I even beat myself...hey,wait a minute...that didn't sound right...

Before selection starts;I should mention that my ratings provisional,based on 1 win,so I can't guarantee my ability to live up to it. Wouldnt want anyone to be misled by numbers that'll probably be changing rapidly as I finish more games anyway.

Thanks for the reply.I was thinking that back some time ago there were member discounts.If that's no longer the case,then I have no real reason to resub at the moment as I wont be playing any USCF tourneys in the forseeable future. Also appreciate your answer to my as yet unasked next question.Was g...

Ever able to contact Killerwolf,that you mentioned in an earlier post? If he missed the last one and was promised a spot in this one,I'd feel bad if we forgot him or didnt make every effort to get in touch.

This question is for any current or recent members of the USCF.My membership expired several years ago.I dont really plan on participating in any USCF events due to lack of time/money/opportunity.The store does seem to have a decent selection of books & other materials.I assume anyone can shop & pur...

Forgot to mention,I've also played the Modern Defense a bit in the past...by played,I meant I've been crushed,humiliated & pee'd on while attempting to play it.lol May try to work with it some more,but don't expect too much. Always willing to expand my opening arsenal...by expand,I meant get beaten ...

Sorry man.You cant play.We already picked the tall kid next to you...

This works for me.I'm easy...if you've already heard that about me,just bear in mind, I'm not cheap.... :lol: Now,in regards to prizes.I don't get too worked up if its unimportant stuff like huge sums of cash,vehicles or all expense paid Hawaiian vacations.On the other hand,I better warn you now.If ...

Think I've contributed all I can to the time control isuue...at least until we get to the threats & blackmail stage of the negotiations. lol :D In regards to posting;well,I'm so shy I doubt you'll ever see me on the forums... :lol: Seriously,it can be nice to have active forums;on the other hand,I'l...

NO! How about 12.5d+9hr,25min & 36sec & thats my final offer...for now... Just kidding,of course.I'll work with whatever you all decide is best.

I'm concerned about time loss as well,just prepared to accept the risk if everyone else is.I understand your desire to make it fast but fun.Was just considering one alternative.How would something like 15 days +12hours (for example) work?I was thinking the +12hours wouldnt add too much time,but woul...

Glad I found this post to get a better idea of what the "Zapper" is all about.Looks like fun,just not sure I could meet the time requirements.May go ahead,say "What the heck,why not",& give it a shot.I generally stink under time pressure which is why in the past I've always done much better at cc th...

I appreciate the welcome.It may take me a while to knock the dust off so to speak,as it's been a few years since I've had the chance to play much.I've had too many distractions to devote the time to it I would have liked.I do look forward to having the chance to start playing again some though & thi...

Hello everyone.New to Net-Chess,but look forward to getting to know you all.Invited in by an old friend I played chess with in school(many,many years ago,lol). As far as openings go,I absolutely love the Sokolsky(Polish to some) as white.I pretty much play it exclusively unless I'm just in a mood to...
