Anyone else sad Pogo Chess is gone?

I still do this, albeit on this website. Lol

I can now always remember my first successful queen sac, as simple and obvious as it was

I played at Pogo a lot. I remember that they allowed players to connect a program, so you could play many cheaters. At Pogo, bridge was even worse, since they allowed people to have two logins that could look at all of their side’s cards.

in retrospect, it is kind of quaint to remember how poor the early engines were. I started playing 5-minute games there. Then, when the engines could beat me at that time control, I shifted to 3-minute games. When the engines could beat me at that speed, I moved down to 2-minute and later to 1-minute games. When the engines could beat me at that speed, I quit Pogo.

my pogo user name was something like xxxmikewxxx.

A little over a decade ago. I used to keeps screenshots of moves I liked. Lol, can't believe I still have these.

I miss the old Pogo games! They really need to bring back the classics like Wonderland Memories, Perfect Pair Solitaire, Hog Heaven Slots, etc. The new experience is nice, but I wouldn't be able to keep up with everything if it wasn't for the Pogo Fans website.

My name is Nick Willis. I was pretty much very active at pogo. Clockwork orange and other rooms. We ended up messing up the site. I played 1 minute and had over 16,000 master accounts and all the odd names like @>>>—- the rose and many more. Hundreds of “odd names”. We also had programs that played s d wouldn’t lose a second and auto passers that got ratings to 9999 and one 10,004. Pogo led me here where now I am before I resign - a 2200 ish .. I remember several of you guys.

Mike, I remember you.

Little dumb, dumb, and Max I remember you guys too

Good

Yo nick i remember you bro. Didn't you always freeze games? I also remember skullcrusher and crushed him many times lol. Do you guys remember Dirtymac, Vegasbear and Uwantgoo?

Yall should come find me on Lichess. I am Lilsnottynose there.

I’m Nick, the one who shut the room down boot people play without losing time, play and when you move, your time disappeared. Much more, yeah, I’m that guy.

I’m on lichess. My name is

N__i__C__K--__--W

I played on pogo 1 minute. Anyone remember clans while playing? My name is Brad and had hundreds of master names. Created this account just so I can talk to all of you newbleets. Many of my names had Fujin in it“FujinBrad” FujinOwner” FujinxClan” recruited people to join my clan. Had other names like MachineHead, OwnerOrthadox, MilitantMove, I used to play with my buddy Trevor who I knew in person back in the day. One of the funniest things I remember saying to people who beat me on time was “ohhhh so it’s a clicky game?” Might be some rage bait for some people here. I didn’t talk to much trash unless you were talking it first🤣

Clockwork orange in asvanced pogo chess was the spot.

Not gonna lie, this is lowkey depressing to read now. Pogo fell off so hard after Flash died.
