Yeah and I get beaten by her more often than not, so it seems like I don't even know basics :(

Ok, so far:
szeweningen
Aranka
Qi
Henns
Luxis
Yeon
Mannerheim

If we get more people we'll need groups and stages, since double rr takes time.

I'm interested as well.
But do you have any ideas how to prevent from cheating? It's not hard to run chessmaster or so in the background.

What is Chessmaster? Is it one of the engines? Can you use it quickly? If you can't then we should do real time. I'm not the greatest of players, but I'd like either multi-day games or 5 min ones.

I am a terrible chessplayer with an elo of 1600 maximum. At one point in my life i realized i am too lazy for chess.

But i would consider losing to all of you for the fun of it.
And maybe we could organize a poker tournament while we are at it.

With 10+ minutes is sure can be used. 5 min is maybe too little time.

Myhand and his poker.... im in for a chess tour.

I like 5 min games. Blitz is pretty much the only real time chess I play.

5 min could be a good thinking time, though I personally like 15-20 min time. 5 min has the advantage that it's too little to use a chess computer program.

Yes, I tend to play 3-5 minute games (blitz). This may be to do with the fact that as I'm not the greatest of players, better players have the advantage of strategic thinking reduced by time pressure.

for blitz I'd be in

I will join I was chess champion of Oxfordshire Scouts years ago.

i would like to join

I'll play

I'll join, though I've never really played Chess seriously :3

Are Grandmasters alowed to play?

Of course grandmasters can play. World champions too. So feel free to participate, if you are one.

Szew, I think you missed me (hedja) out on your list. I am in same clan as hennns and we have the same photo, but we are not the same person ;)

I'll play.

I'll play blitz.

For those of you who want to practice challenge me to a game on chessfriends
