AF Friendly Chess Matches?
Hello AF members and anyone else.  Would anyone be interested in a game of correspondence chess?  I'm not much of a chess talent, but I do enjoy a good game every now and then.  I created a chess.com account.  My username is the same as it is here but without a space.

Chess



P.S.  This is a game I currently have going on against my computer. The computer has the white pieces.

Fritz 13 (full strength) v KS


1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nf6
3. Nxe5 d6
4. Nf3  Nxe4
5. Qe2 Qe7
6. d3 Nf6
7. Bg5 Be6
8. Nc3 Nc6
9. d4 d5
10. 0-0-0  0-0-0
11. Ne5 Qe8
12. Kb1 Be7
13. Qe3 a6
14. Be2


Thanks and live long and prosper AF members.

Totally down for realtime whenever you're on and I;m on.  Can't push urgency in correspondence chess...makes me lose, lol - such a one trick pony.

(apparently I'll have to recover my account, lol)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Hmmm... I'm more of a correspondence guy.  Out of curiosity, what type of real time chess do you play?  Bullet? Blitz? Longer games?

LOL< i just like chess...fuck it, I just like games..I'd play a vicious, shit talking version of go fish with anyone who would play.  I play speed or tournament.  Correspondence chess gives me way too much leeway to cheat by parsing the options from a few choice chess programs I like. That and the fact that I pretty much rely on people making mistakes. I have no natural talent. Patience, also lacking.

Is a 25-30 minute blitz game reasonable for you or is that too long?

Unfortunately, I do not have a mic or voip, but I'll hit you up on chess.com and send you a game invite or whatever. 

P.S. What is voip?

Imma warn you, you probably have a 3 or four drink advantage on me at least, lol. It may be less than challenging, lol.

Too long?
That's how long I take to make a move sometimes.
I think that's why nobody ever wants to play against me.
And because I win a lot. :-)

It's a bloody, bloody slaughter for the first game.  Kernels got me hemmed in from every side.
