Kingdom of Fife Virtual Chess Club

Hi Fifers,

The idea behind the virtual chess club is to provide a regular weekly time for members to come together and play live games.  Members would also have the opportunity to follow the live games and kibitz as well as participating in post game analysis.

How it might work:

For example only, let's say we have our virtual chess club on Friday evenings at 10pm GMT.  Members who are intersted would log into our Kingdom of Fife chat room.  Once we get a game or two set up between members we could then post a link or instructions on how to find the game in the live game server.  Members who are observing the game would be able to kibitz in the live game chat, and following the game, could also be invited into a post game analysis session.

Anyway, that is the basics of the idea.

So Fifers, is there interest in this kind of activity?

What day and time would be good for you?

Please post your comments as a response in this forum.

Thanks!

always thought that playing live  games would be fun.......i'm for it.....any night bar monday....real chess night

I think Randy has a real good idea here...how else could real chess nuts meet across the miles. Thursdays are no for me and Sam, that's our Castlehill cc night in Dundee. Otherwise, its a great idea...so lets get behind it!

Maybe we can try this another way.

I propose to those interested to come into the Kingdom of Fife chat room on Friday November 8th 10pm GMT.

If there is more than just me there, then we can play a live game or two try out the idea of doing group chat while watching our live games (except for the two players) and then post game one of the players can invite everyone into an analysis board session and we can review the game.

10pm gmt ....goood idea

sounds good to me!

Jus to say thanks to Randy for hosting the first Friday night live chat and chess event...looking forward to the next one 

It would seem the majority of members have voted with their silence. I was in in chat for 20 minutes yesterday. No one else there. Maybe some time down the road there will be sufficient interest in this to continue and possibly run live tournaments, but now is apparently not the time. If people are interested in playing a live game sometime, message me and we can find a time that works.
