Chess games

Search (or my eyes) must be broken, cuz couldn't find the chess thread. Rly, nobody plays chess? I hope you guys who are stronger will post some games here.

Here's a blitz game that finally got me over 1600 rating on FICS. I made a major blunder, but that meant winning only a piece instead of two in the same combination. Still dismantled my opponent effectively I think.

Very good.

Everyone should be involved with chess on some level and preferably have at least one awesome set to display.

Subtle.

When the internet goes down, I play chess against the computer due to boredom. Even on the dratted easy mode, I never win.

Software now is essentially invincible except for Grandmasters. Even a Master will probably never beat Fritz, for example.

I haven't played chess in years. I should start again.

I remember playing Battle Chess.
After that... the board game just doesn't feel the same.

lol you're really dating yourself there. I don't think they've made that game for about 20 years!

Indeed... it was a DOS game, the version I had first only presented us with 4 horrible pinkish colors, aka, CGA video.
A few months later, I got the VGA version... much better!
