Thus far Anubis and myself have decided to try and have a match on Friday (around noon US time - around 6pm European time).
BeefontheBone also expresed a wish to play a game or two (maybe won't be possible on the same date).

I suggest we talk about the chess challenges here (let's use either MSN or Yahoo mesenger) for the games themselves.

Who else is up for a game?

That's about 5pm GMT right? I should be free - my exam is in the morning. I might have had a bit of a smoke by then though (but I'm at work on saturday morning, so probably not too much :D)

I might be interested, LOL a bit of a smoke beefonthebone im disappointed :kosta:

Right, I'm ready when you are Seb (or Anubis) - just add me on MSN.

I'm sorry, but I was unable to make it, as I'm on and off the meetings (for the rest of the day too).

I will try to contact you guys during next couple of days.

I suggest yahoo messanger. Anyone who's ready to play...

I would love to play a game with someone. Instead of using Yahoo messengers why dont we just use one of the internet chess services like for instance this one?
When you're there already dont hestitate to challenge "Boruta"

Boruta???

Is that your name? (because my name is Borut)
I'm just connecting to the site - and am readdy to move some pieces!

Well it's not my name. It is one of the so called Polish traditional devils. You can see him in my profile on chess-live.

EDIT: Never mind.

I really need to either get more sleep - or more practice (Moshchu is good).

I like to play!!. Tell me if you need my email address.

Either give your Yahoo MSN ID (you can easily open a free account with them too), or give us the Chess Live Nickname.

Also tell us when you'll be online!

I don't have yahoo messenger. I got msn. By the way I became member in chess live and it is so confusing. do you have to pay or something there. I got the free trial and I don't get it. This is the most simplest, free, java, easy and has a rating system chess site. So I think it would be great if we switch to this site. www.flyordie.com/chess
My username is Samthejamtheman there. I would be there this week.
Anyways here is my hotmail e-mail address. sameeralord@hotmail.com
I'll be online tommorow.
Right!! :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok:

there is no fee on chess-live if u arent going to play rated games. I have my account for abou three years and i didnt have to pay. It is better to download windows client instead of using java version (just my opinion). From the beginning that service seems little complex but when you get used to it you will see that it is one of the most proffesional and user-friendly chess community in the whole internet(again just my opinion :sneaky: ).

You seems to be a good chess player so serioulsy if you go to the site I mentioned you can have a good rating and all that. Ok then first visit site I said and after visiting it tell me what do you think is the best? :ok: :ok:

I used to have a USCF account, but I hated they regulation of number of rated games and change of policy (every 2 months).

EDIT: They lost a lot of members after some of the changes, so like year ago you can find only couple of royal-members (mostly USCF) to play with.

I forgot to mention, my user ID on Chess-Live is Velid.

My Chess-live username is (surprise, surprise) SEBATIANOS (you never would have guessed right).

:kosta: surprise :kosta:

As you can see on my signature my computer doesnt work anymore and that makes me unable to connect to the internet. I'm sorry Sebatianos - that also means that you wont get your rematch soon. Nevertheless I'll try to buy a new processor for my old machine (if only this is CPU fault) so see you all in the future (sooner or later)

Sorry to hear that your computer is down. Hope it won't cost you too much. :bye: for now.

I just registered with the chess live. Currently downloading the client.
My handle is Efthimios.

whoa...this looks complexed, this live chess program.. :wall:

EDIT: i got it how it works...is there any N00B , but realy a N00B here....i kinda only know how figures move. :(
my profile has icq and msn, so feel free to contact me.

Dammit, I'd love to join but I have a meeting then :(

Would kick every single one of your asses tho' :P

if your looking for a good place to play chess, then copy and paste this link "www.freechess.org"
no money needed to join, the site is called "fics" and that stands for Free Internet Chess Site.
there are loads of different channels to talk in, you dont haveto just play chess, but you can if you want.
you can watch the (GM)s Play live. you can Join tournaments and lots of other great things. you need to play about 20 games Tho before your rating Becoms offical. you dont need to download an interface if you dont want to, you can use "Java" if you want but the graphics are verry Iffy. if you do download an interface i recomend downloading "Babas" its the most popular one there. there are lots of others but you will find that babas is the best one. if you do join keep an eye out for me, my name there is "Fishchair" if i am there when you log on you can send me a message, just type "t fishchair hello i got this link from Abandonia"
and i will help you understand how to talk in the channels and stuff like that. there is a help channel if you need it, thats channel 1 for members, and channel 4 for guessts. just type t 1 my question is (Blah)................ and they can help you.

OK, time to bump this thread a bit, since we got a chess challenge in the games and competition subforum maybe there will be renewed interest in playing chess online!

Here's the link that was last suggested http://www.freechess.org/
So if anybody's interested, let's talk chess :)

Wow, 2 year bump.
I'll try.

Great, my online game is - as always - Sebatianos.
