I don't always listen to rock music when I play chess.

But when I do, it's Queen.

I'm here like every other day. You can't get rid of me, Camber. heheheh. muahahahah!!!

 

I watched American Sniper in theatre today. Intense film. I wouldn't buy it for myself on DVD but I thought it was a viewing experience of value. Now I'm embarrassed to say that I went for class extra credit, after I write up something, but still I think I benefited from watching it.

After spending a long time to think of my move, moving my queen away from danger and trying to find the fastest mate.

"I nearly had you there."

The Tata Steel Chess Tournament (January 9-25) came to an end. And guess who the winner was? Magnus Carlsen!

Lolol so true. Another up close and personal option is his Play Magnus app. Get owned by his 5 year old self!

So, I met someone this weekend and ended up mentioning that I was in Chess Club. So he (a non-chess player) says something along the lines of "Yes, I know how the pieces move. On my side they fall down." Lol... I thought that was really funny...!! LaughingLaughing

"Did you give him the Grob?" - my mum whenever she asks how a chess game went. One of the only things that she knows about chess is the opening 1.g4.

I always try to give my mom a semidifficult time cause she never seemed interested in me teaching her at least how the pieces move...!! That makes me kinda sad. One day, one day...

I'll be going back to the Philippines here very soon. My internet connection will not be guaranteed while I'm there! In other words, I'd hate to start a game with you then time out. Same thing with Dragon.

Have a great trip when you go!

I'm up for a corr game. I need a total of five "online" games before I can compete in a team match. So, I guess "online" means correspondance.

Since everyone wants a game... maybe there's some way we can set up a tournament for the peeps on this thread... I wonder if that's possible without having to set up an entire Group. 

Hmmmmmm... anyone smart out there? lolll
