I too play :))

But I am one of the worst players amongst my friends

Almost all of them defeat me.

Can't we all set a time for playing chess. We can meet at www.zapak.com to play online...

i have just started playing on yahoo

Now Rarely. Used to play daily.

zapak.com/yahoo

ewww!
Stop playing chess on zapak and yahoo :lol:

Try fics.com (free internet chess server)
Download Babaschess client to play, and register on freechess.org for an userid.
You can login as a guest too , but then you won't get a rating

(which is most useful)
Reasons for playing on FICS (only if you love chess)[/]
Lots!!
1. You can follow international matches Live. that too with commentry and discussions with fellow users.
2. there are small tourneys running all the time. No rewards but its great fun
3. online lectures
4. customizable chess boards
5. much much better client like babaschess . totally customizable.
Even though I haven't played for a long time now, chess was once an absolute obsession. Just check my usename if you don't believe me

Don't be under the impression that I never win

Even against my friends I win sometimes, but never easily

But anyway, I can play with you too.

thread updated displaying the names of active members!

My User Name Is My E-mail Id

Mediator when do you come online??

SOrry brother for the absence, but I cum mostly at night!

ok
thanks for telling

Hey I wanna play too

Just Defeated Tech Geek

I am the worst player around here

i am just a begginer
hey ray what is ur email id???

arunava_93

I defeated Ray :-D

.

err.. is there a way we can do this anonymously. i can get every1's ip if i am chatting with Y! messenger. Does a client which supports http proxies exist? FICS is not allowing public email accounts. Couldn't register.
Ok, I'll figure out a way for doing Y! msngr anonymously. Will post here.
Any1 still playing?

Does a client which supports http proxies exist?

I am guessing here but try playing on FICS using one of their clients ( babaschess) . It probably doesn't support proxies but since it isn't p2p you would be anonymous (relatively speaking).

.

EDIT: Yahoo sucks. I played a couple of games. Won a few. Lost one. But in the majority, the l0ser $cums when close to checkmate started bombing me with macromedia scripts which killed my session and yahoo forfeited my games and declared me as lost. Don't these guys just accept they are l0sers @$$H0L3$ %**!!!

Would be better if I can play with you guys sometime.
which chatroom @ yahoo?

slowchess.com - correspondence chess interenet ishtyle. you play one move, the other player then moves (in 6 to 24 hrs!), then you play and so on
-fantastic for chess lovers, horrific for non-players.

another victory!

@roller : when do u come online now?

L

S

Like the other things in my life...My computer does(plays) it for me...

No u can't if u don't leave ur ID behind.

U must add everyone here, who have given their IDs, to ur yahoo msngr.

Well I defeated Garry Kasparove 3 times in a row. (In the computer game Yaar!!!)

By using undo on a move everytime?

@mediator

Nahi Yaar. In hard mode... U cant use undo.

I have readed a book on chess (Very good book indeed. And by that time I am undefeated.). OK 'qwerty' defeated me a year ago but after that I am undefeated.

Yahoo ID=rollercoaster26

I always wanted to play chess! But I couldnt learn it still.

F

I'm always in the IRC channel when Im online so you can check there. I'd be more than happy to pass on a few tricks. You need to play to get better. try the Vista Chess or GNUchess at Easy levels for beginner.

Thanks for the tips exx_2000. Maybe some more of you can help me on it. Should I buy any book on chess?

No . Beginners should never buy books on chess. First understand the rules. You don't need a chess book for that. Play with the computer on beginner. You'll fail miserably until you start seeing moves like 1 move ahead and understand basic attack concepts. You can play with some friends also . Then dive into intermediate topics like.

Forks, Pins, Discovered checks, etc
How Open Space is Power
Pawn Structure etc

Then go to advanced when confident and study the End game. King Pawn games

why don't u guys play chess on the free internet chess server (www.freechess.org) ? Its a billion times better & more popular than yahoo. also there are chances u'll come across a professional chess player.

Thanks D1g1t , Quiz_master , Medialord for the games. Enjoyed the chess.

Does that site support rankings? Also multiple players and spectators?

man,that & everything related to chess is supported on fics. it's the best site to play chess. u'll find everything there frm multiple players & spectators to free lectures, tournaments, chess news updates, real time online chess chat discussions. It has multiple channels where u can chat about chess or other related/ non related activity. Trust me (someone who is a real chess fan). I've been playing there a long time, u'll forget yahoo once u play chess on fics. Its even listed on wikipedia. the site is maintained by a team of professionals and it runs on unix. to play on the site u will first have to dwnld one their interfaces or u can use their java platform-independent console which will run within ur browser. u'll find many unix like console commands also being supported. the admins on the site maintain the site 24x7. any grievances are immediately resolved. but there is a catch even though fics is free its not easy to register with just any yahoo or hotmail id. this is to prevent ppl from cheating by using multiple accounts. so u can register by using an id which is not very common, like maybe ur mtnl or bsnl email id or maybe ur office id.
