Hi Guys, rather than add to "the other side of the pond" thread, I've created one here.

Grizz found a terrific chess site & since registering, have had numerous challenges. So far, running 4 of them. Anyone else feels like a game, send me a challenge.

Grizz, if enough show interest, how about have a Team Canada?

Sidenote: - Sneaky, I forgot to take note of your queen - Won't happen again

I've got 5 games on the go.

Canada would make a good team, come on and have some fun.

@ Sirius - you won't find my style in any book, I use my own methods and yes alot of them are sneaky.

Team Canada created. come on guys, have some fun

I joined the Chess team, when I was a teenager I was really good but I have not played much since then

Well done Timmy. Did you challenge me? I'm sure I saw your name & clicked on accept, but nothing happened & your name no longer shows -I hope I didn't click reject by mistake - If so, I apologise.

The 14 day move time is excellent.

REALLY? - I go shopping & when we came back, find that I've been mated in 5!

First time ever, I've been beaten that quick - Well done.

Any future statements of yours, I'll take with a pinch of salt

That was a sheer fluke I think Sirius lol, Grizz kicked my butt and chased me all over board with his Queen

@timmygadget
Good game I'll be waiting for a rematch.

Sorry guys, I've resigned all my games. Server's crashed good & proper & it's going to take a while to rebuild.

Anybody else ever play tournament chess? I used to be 1900+ CFC rated. Haven't played in ten years though.

I played chess in high school but not much since then.

I'm not ale to register. Any tricks?

The forum only shows 6 members. Am I hitting the right site? http://88chess.com/en/

You have the right site. You just have to register to become a member of the site then go to the teams link and join team canada

I've tried several times. It just comes back with the form unfilled. No error messages.

Just checked the site, & can't see any problems this end.

I've joined (Admin set me up).

I am also trying out www.chess.com It's a similar site, but it is much much bigger with many more features.

You guys are gonna get me back into this crazy world aren't you?

Yep!!! I'm nearly finished with resetting the server & hopefully it will be all done by tomorrow morning. Just niggly confiurations. Then I will be available for challenges.

@Grizz, I'm really sorry I resigned our game, it was beginning to get interesting, any chance for another? Same with you Timmy - I need revenge after that 5 move destruction

Edit, Red you're now on the team - Can I accept your challenge tomorrow? Andrea will be home shortly & it's my turn to make dinner.

I joined http://www.chess.com and wow its a good site but I cant find a team option

Redmenace what is your user name on chess.com?

Thats alright, but you could have waited you had 14 days.

Sorry Grizz, I only realised that after I resigned. I guess it was just the frustration I was experiencing this end.

I'm xMenace there.

It is a great site, greater if you fork over the money I can't find a team option, but I thought I saw groups earlier.

Man, none of my games, about 9 so far, are following any sort of standard openning. I'm being forced to think early

In well over 10,000 games I've played in my life vs. over-the-board (otb) rated opponents, I'm sure I've never seen 5 pawns in a row together. I'm sure I've seen four a few times. I don't know if 5.a4 was the best, but I couldn't resist

My game boards are getting all buggered up. They are not reflecting the latest moves correctly. ANyone else?

I've kinda gotten into chess.com. I guess I've been long overdue for getting back into the game. 3-1-1 so far with a few more wins in hand.

Yep. for the past couple of days, it's been taking it's time after making a move. Also, several times, it's refused my move saying I'm the wrong colour. Weird, as I'm black & tried moving a black piece.. Seems to be ok now though.
