Send me cheers and I will send you a thank you note!

Hello and welcome to my biography!

Noticeboard

I am in process of leaving all the clubs under 500 members that I don’t visit that often. I don’t accept invites to clubs under 1000 members.

If you have a big (1000+), inactive club, I can join and try to revive it if you make me admin!

I don’t accept daily game requests at the moment. Challenge The Vortex Order instead!

I offer a Daily Puzzle and Quote series for your club if it’s over 1500 members: more info here.

Clubs

I own a few clubs, and hold a staff position in a few more. Since I am in too many clubs, from now on, you can promote me but unless I determine that your club is a big club (usually 1,000+ members, but there are exceptions) it won’t make it here. I also probably won’t include fan clubs unless they’re ones for very well known members (10,000+ views).

Quotes

| “Happiness is treated as the highest prestige, and yet it is simple to attain it.” - Duo Owl

| “Keep your face towards the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.” - Walt Witman

Fun Facts

After five moves, there are 85,375,278,064 possible positions.

In all those positions, there are/were 8,790,619,155 possible checkmates.There are more potential unique chess games (~10¹²⁰) than atoms in the universe (~10⁸⁰).

A chess game can theoretically last up to 5,949 moves.

The Queen used to only be able to move 1 square diagonally, all the way until the 15th century.

The computer “Deep Thought” was the first to beat a grandmaster, in 1988.

The second ever book printed in English, The Game and Playe of Chesse, 1470s, was about chess.

Thanks for the view! I hope you want to send me a friend request :)
