TD Chess Club

Anyone play chess?

It's free and easy to sign up to Chess.com - Play Chess Online - Free Games and from there you can connect and play anyone online.

I have recently taught my kid how to play and now he brings a chess set to school with a roll up mat to play on.

Say's he's undefeated and to be fair, he's beat me 4 times. We play at home, at the bar and online too.

Do we have any interest in a TD league?

I'd say I'm fairly average but I do enjoy a game.

Fun Fact:

After retiring from chess for approximately 9 years, in 1981, American chess legend Bobby Fischer agreed to play with Canadian Grandmaster Peter Piassas at the pinnacle of his glory and powers, and Bobby Fischer defeated him 17 times in a row. “He was so good, so good that defeating him was impossible and there was no point in playing with him, and there was no excitement or fun in it.” He was beating me and I didn't know why or what I had done wrong. and the most disappointing thing was that I didn't even make it to the final stage with him." At one point, I would always lose in the intermediate stage at maximum and, what's more, Bobby never took the time to think he wasn't a rival. , and that there was no one worthy of the honor of fighting against him, and I, having been his opponent, bear witness to this indisputable fact. It's worth noting that computers ranked Bobby Fischer as the greatest chess player of all time, and his arch-rival, the legendary Mikhail Tal, described him as "the greatest genius to ever descend from the firmament of chess."

I hadn't realised I'd signed up in 2011.

My username is Chessy-James and I had an unread message from some bloke calling me an asshole for using up such a great username, playing 1 move then never playing again.

I replied to him last month saying it's his turn to fvck off.

Anyhoo, I believe this link will connect anyone to me upon signing up ---> Jackie Gerrard (Chessy-James) - Add Friend

That's certainly much better than mine.

I just clicked login and I came up as 'CupcakeCM'. :/

Either the kid signed up or I was feeling seriously fruity.


It was the former.

Mind you I'm not playing tonight as I'm supping an icy cold beer and chilling the fok out.

Fokin' 'ell. Head over to youtube for a good ol' Riverdance show then go to the kitchen for an icy cold one and yer as good as executed.



What do we have to do, send an invitation and then sit waiting at the screen with it open?
