This game might be slow, but it's better than hangman. I was once in an email game that dragged out for close to a year.

I need to get home and set up a board (if I can find it - its packed away somewhere in a box I didnt unpack). But I have sheva brachot tonight, so I probably won't get to it until tomorrow.
Posted 3 years ago # -
no no - I thought this was a strictly blindfolded game! At least, I was playing blindfolded until now.
Now I'm going to have to worry about who will be helping you with your moves. (JK)
Posted 3 years ago # -
Somebody has to do this in ASCII art for those who can't follow in their head (I obviously can follow in my head, just a suggestion to help others who are not as smart as me and sqeak)
Posted 3 years ago # -
squeak you need to say which piece you are moving where it wa to staqrt with and where you would like to move it
Posted 3 years ago # -
either that or an ascii art picture of a blindfolded mouse.
Posted 3 years ago # -

moish- i used to be called the mouse (you won't be able to guess why- has nothing to do with my size)
ps- why does each mouse have the word "bug" near it?Posted 3 years ago # -
areivim: u were called mouse???
probably the initials of the guy who created them
Posted 3 years ago # -
teen- that was a sort of nickname, with some variations (sorry- can't specify)
Posted 3 years ago # -
areivim, because i ripped it off a site and was too lazy to fix it.
teen, "mouse" has five letters in it. initials??
come on, areivim. why? it's ok if you're short. good things come in small packages. like me. (thank my grandmother for that one!)
Posted 3 years ago # -
teen, i'll bet he was born with gray hair ;)
T/O. need to edit. don't love this theory because that would ruin the red beard theory.
i'm in a bind. areivim, care to rescue me?
Posted 3 years ago # -
Areivim, is your name Mickey?
Posted 3 years ago # -
moish01: i meant bug
Posted 3 years ago # -
no his nickname is "squeak" because his real name is Mickey. or Minnie. whichever he prefers.
Posted 3 years ago # -
oh ha! no idea. i told you, i just ripped it off a site.
Posted 3 years ago # -
sorry dudes- you're all wrong on the mouse theory (it's pretty far fetched)
and mod42- don't you have access to my email address? aka, my name, hence proving my name is NOT mickey... (that would be a nightmare)Good point. I just looked it up. Interesting name. :)
moish- are you g-d forbid accusing squeak & areivim of being one and the same?
Posted 3 years ago # -
CHAS VESHOLOIM! no way, areivim. really there's no way that's possible.
Posted 3 years ago # -
ok, ok- calm down
Posted 3 years ago # -
Wow you guys really hijacked this thread! But that's OK because having a chessboard here makes it a bit easier to play. So I'll accept the kibitzing that comes with it :-)
teen - when moving a pawn, it is not necessary to mention that fact. So E4 means I am opening with the king's pawn going two spaces.
areivim - it's because you are so quiet. Nothing to do with my sn, which has to do with a .org And I'll try to not be insulted that you are so horrified to me confused with Yours Truly ;-)
Posted 3 years ago # -
squeak- i was far from insulted... I just know moish's opinion about you ;). You know I'm a fan (you just wanted me to say that again)
"Nothing to do with my sn, which has to do with a .org "- come again?quiet- riiiiiiight, but of course, dear sir ;)

squeak: how do we know ur moving a pawn?

mod42: impressive!$
Posted 3 years ago # -
hey 42, is that the reason why the updates have been slow? busy practicing your ASCII art skills?
That wasn't too difficult. I just copied teen's post and made a few changes
Posted 3 years ago # -
i would call you a cheater, my career as second in command CR artist is based solely on the "copy + paste" formula
Posted 3 years ago # -
Squeak, E5 (havent had time to set up yet, but thats an easy enough move LOL)
Posted 3 years ago # -
moish01: i came up with the chess board but mod42 added the letters and umbers which i forgot :) team effort :)

Another computer crash. I will attempt to repeat my post at risk of double posting.
My move is D4.
Thanks to all involved for the board.
Ames - I used to be very into chess and I was capable of playing a blindfolded game then. Now I don't think I would be able to, unless I trained for it again. Anyway, no one here is going to be able to test me.
Areivim, you were totally right that I was just trying to get you to say that. Good call, mousey one. I'm sure you can figure out the .org part too.

I call a game of scrabble next. Anyone dare to join? ;)
Posted 3 years ago # -
my career as second in command CR artist
Dude, you're totally artist-in-chief now! I'll take second spot, or maybe third and let teen take second...
Posted 3 years ago # -
beacon - if you draw the scrabble board.
Posted 3 years ago # -
C3
I play scrabble too, but that is going to be tough to do in the CR. How will you distribute letters?
Posted 3 years ago # -
Curious: welcome back!!!!
Posted 3 years ago # -
Yeah it's not really possible...
Posted 3 years ago # -
Curious, you can retake the Chief position if you draw a board that distinguishes the white and dark squares.
Posted 3 years ago # -
Curious: how about me??$ jk
Posted 3 years ago # -
sqeuak you neede to say which piece should b moved
in this case it can b either the knight or a pawn
Posted 3 years ago # -
how long is the game suppose to take. are we speaking in terms of days or longer. good luck to both players and whats the winner's gift?
Posted 3 years ago # -
Im sure this will takes weeks.
Winner gets the pride of beating an anonymous CR poster. If I win, I get to boast that I beat someone rated 1100 points higher than me! If he wins, then we try with me drunk :-)
Posted 3 years ago # -
SJS - I'm thought you meant that you were rated 900, but now are better, just like I was over 2000, but now am much worse. And if you think you will last weeks, then you must be better than 900!
Teen - the convention is that if no piece is named, the piece is a Pawn. If I meant the knight I would have had to say NC3.
My move was C3, which is the pawn.
As for the prize, we can compete for whatever Mod99 plans to give me. Except for the 10% that belongs to Chuck.
Posted 3 years ago # -
And now I can see that Mod99 replied to my email. So there may actually be a prize to compete for (haven't been able to open the email yet).
I did? Have I been sleep emailing again?
I got to stop that. In all honesty - I don't think I did - I was going to get to that this morning.

Well, someone did. I can't see who the sender is from here, only that I have a reply. If you say it wasn't you, then I'm sure you're right. It could be a bounceback.
