Has Chess.com inspire you to play OTB ?

No, that was back in the day when it caused you to go blind or gave your hairy palms.

I always wondered btw how they could be hairy (wouldn't all that have rubbed the hair off?).

Something I've wondered about, too.

Wow, el-dude is still on here!

To this el-dude character: what exactly are Facebook credits??

I'll bet they're worth every bit as much as a chess.com point.

Come on, Moderators, there is no such thing as a "Facebook credit" and why are they being promoted here?

Please ban "el-dude" and send a charge back through his IP that will incinerate his equipment, erase his memory, and neuter his dog.

How about unneutering his neutered dogs?

...and neuter him, if that hasn't already happened! Laughing

If anything chess.com means I can give up OTB chess more easily.

Avatar of AndyClifton

Well, that was my point.  Why bother to go somewhere for a weekend when it's so easy to play here?

That depends one where and the woman you bring along.

Avatar of AndyClifton

Yeah.  That's why online prisons will never hold a candle to a real penitentiary.

Avatar of Javan64

Nah, OTB is much more fun!  Chess.com is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn't hold a candle to the real thing.

I've played at bunch (tourneys too) and they always end up looking like this...

Hey, I am just trying to play my game in peace while surrounded by guys wielding stone knives and bearskins...kinda like that guy in the old Colt 45 commercials (which come to think of it you've probably never seen).

I haven't seen it but it made me think of that one Redd Foxx did.

Wow!  I once almost had a 400-pound master fall on me.
