an idea about playing against one another…..

Sort:
Powderdigit

Challenge accepted - fun idea. It would be good to start an online competition b/w regulars here … I thinks it’s relatively easy - forgive me for wanting 3-day games…with work, life, collecting sets, posting here … I sometimes need 3 days between moves. 🤦‍♂️😊And here the game between Kramesy and I - I don’t often get to play with the Ganine pieces so I’ve set it up in my office.

PM me your game and I'll add to this overview post:

It seems I have out my hand up for public embarrassment at my lack of skills alas, that’s ok … I’m learning about playing and collecting and we can all learn … perhaps what not to do from me… but it’s still learning. Enjoy folks. 👍
Krames

@powder, my 1st move was c4 not c3. . . .

Here's the corrent state of the game on a small Russian foldable travel board and a library set of HOS Collectors, ebony:

Sorry - noted was moving too fast to get your thread going - it’s now corrected. 👍

Here's my board after my last move of the day against @Krames.

Really enjoying this format.

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

I’m in Stum … but that might be my last for a bit - 3 games, plus a bunch of other I’m already in … it’s enough. Board 3 is waiting …while I watch the tennis. Also - it’s getting later here so I might not be overly active tonight and tomorrow I’ve got golf and a few things… just a courtesy  in case I sometimes go AWOL.

Hello. Great idea. I love it. I challenge anyone Who is up for it. But Who starts with white and Black ect ?

Krames

@squar3z - just something we kind of figured out / decided together as we started our games... And here are updates from my 2 current games:

Krames v Powderdigit - And I'll be honest, Qa5 makes me more than a little nervous!!!!

And 

Krames

Lotsoblots v Krames - this is a position I know absolutely nothing about, I'll just try not to embarrass myself happy.png

@Krames 

Okay i understand. I am ready when anyone accepts my challenge ♟🙏

Krames

And I have a recommendation . . . My game w Powderdigit is a 3 day/move game on Chess.com, my other game is just moves sent in messages. I think the 3 day option is better, you can see the board from your phone or anywhere. Just figured I'd share as we go, it's cool either way, but I like being able to see the progress if I'm not home or in front of that particular board. Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I am happy.png

@Krames ah yes. But one can start match 3days daily and take pictures from the board at home. So one can do them both at the same time. Just the 3day game on chess.com is live and one can update the board at home with the live board when one is back home 

Krames
Exactly!
