Chess

i remember someone sayin somethin about ats havin integrated chess or somethin on it? does anyone have any info on this, cos a tourny would be fun. i have no clue how to play chess though....

Haven't played for a long time, but I'm for some Internet chess.

i suck at chess but i'd play

well i guess i'll go find a few books or somethin, i dunno.

i hear chess is the hard one, checkers would bebetter lol! all the complex moves and stuff, i dunno.

William is realy busy working on the site and he plans to get the chess up soon thats all. A little dealy.

Chess is a very hard game to learn. It takes awhile, but against a guy who never played in his life is a differnt story.

william is incredibily dedicated to his work, if i'm in NYC anytime soon ima order and pay for a pizza and have it delivered to his house lol.

The best way to learn how to play chess is to just take a stab at it like a madman. Don't stop stabbing until the game is done. When it is over look for more victims to stab and stab that until they scream, "Bloody murder". Then when you are done with them, then stab some more people, and more and more and more till there is nothing left to stab. That is how I learned. I may not be the best, but then again I never said I stopped stabbing either. So take a stab at it. It is really fun. Chess is probably the greatest game ever created. It does so much for your intellect it is amazing. I figure that if their is still a world at the time that chess will be just as popular, if not more popular thousands of years from now. Chess is timeless and a pure classic.

As for the chess progress. Well I don't know the specifics but last time I heard, William mentioned that the project was harder than he thought it would be to produce. So he hasn't forgot. He just lacks the resource for the time being. I hope that helps. I am sure that when William sees this he will give you the 411.

Word, I love chess, I play as much as a can. I love making the most random move, just so you can see how your oppent will react, once you learn their reactions and style you set em up for systematic destruction.

If the ability to have a chess tourny is developed, I would be very interested.

Sounds great!

It's simple to learn, but the hard part is getting good at it. The pieces have simple movement (only the knights are a little difficult to understand for a lot of people).

I would be happy to see a chess thing here.

With chess I'll have no free time outside of ATS!!
