an idea about playing against one another…..

Sort:
Krames
How about we use this thread to set up games against each other. We can all use sets we like and post pics of the positions as the games unfold. We can watch each others blunders and solid moves on the setups we all talk so much about.

I’m happy to play anyone interested. I’ll play white or black and we can just message each other back and forth our moves.

Any interest….?

Lol that was a game

Ok, a little miscommunication…… we just played a quick game on chess.com. It was fun, but that’s not what I was saying. I’m saying a game w moves being sent back and forth like correspondence chess. And we can show pics of our boards and pieces and the potions here…..

Anyone?

I have been thinking of making a similar suggestion for the past year (using video) and always shied away. But I love your idea and will absolutely put my poor skills up for this!

A CB&E Club would be very fun, especially since people around here are so friendly.

Krames
Love it! Want to message me your first move?
lotsoblots

OK, sent! \o/

The game has begun . . .

Amazing. I was also going to use a chavet (reproduction)!

Nice!!! If it takes too long for someone to join you, message me your first move anytime you like, I'd be happy to have more than one game going. Thanks @felonet!!!!

Aaaaaand we're off from my perspective with 2.d3. You're already giving me fits with my least studied line in the Chessable course I use!

Krames

Lol, I have no idea what I'm doing vs nf3. I was 'out of book' on move 1 happy.png

Kramesy - if I may call you that … us Aussies love a nickname … perhaps if you and I start a daily game (say 3 days between moves) - every now and then we provide photographic updates of the games position … you’ll murder me because your rating is 1700’ish to my 1200‘ish
… it’s not quite what you are saying but would show games in progress on our sets …

Going to expand on the physical theme by recording moves with pen and paper, too.

Krames
Loving this, and Kramesy works for me!

I'll challenge @powderdigit - maybe third time is the charm and I'll be able to finally pull off a win...
