Chess on an Infinite Plane (Naviary vs. captaintugwash)

Sort:
captaintugwash

I might be being unkind to Holo, I've played him once and crushed him as I recall, but one game is hardly a fair measure. I wasn't satisfied that Martin was better than me until I lost to him twice.

captaintugwash

I haven't? My apologies for confusing him with someone else then.

I'm due to play Holo, aren't I? He's the foruth player in our group? I deserve to lose to him now!

captaintugwash

Sorry too much chat, not enough chess. I'll dump a board here to make this new page more chessy.

By "group", do you mean 2nd place group?

Yeah. And I think it was John I'm confusing him with. Who did I beat after losing my queen? And why do you know my games better than I do? Is there a list somewhere?

I've played 11 total infinite games, I've only lost 2- my very first game against Waredude (I proceeded to get revenge), and also a game on time, I am on a 6-win streak right now, 8 if you don't count the loss on time.

Bulldog doesn't interest me much, it was infinite that sparked my curiosity. I think I played 1 game and lost on time.

"4-0 infinite"

All as black. I'll be very happy if this streak continues.

Thanks for that list Martin, it's nice to refresh the memory.

Black actually has a clearly better win-ratio in infinite happy.png

White wins: 13 (32%)

Black wins: 27 (66%)

Draws: 1 (2%)

 

Black wins twice as often as white happy.png

hahaha, that's funny people play worse as white.

they get too comfortable if they get the first move, they have a false sense of an advantage,

them thinking that they have an advantage IS their disadvantage lol

Ok I'm grabbing the pawn, just to make you feel like you're behind.

It's tempting to put the queen closer to the centre so I can put my binoculars away.

Later I can post a "zoom-in" view but some pieces will be off the display. I can show attack lines (queen diagonal, etc.) to help identify where pieces are located. Of course there will be a note showing coordinates of non-displayed pieces. Will be back on-line later tonight.happy.png
