[Misc] NSC Chess Club

[perseus]

Performance was terrible, but a win is a win. Black Computer analysis:



Doesn't show brilliancies, it seems.

White:



Pretty dammin report. A bit like football stats?

lost all my games on time

 

[Questions]

A word of warning. Dont make moves after celebrating an Albion victory. I’m playing like a complete novice now.

Certainly not match fit.

I've never managed to work out how to avoid silly moves or blunders.

I’m Ian, BH-Albion on NSC and Chess.com - I know Danny (seahaven69) from years ago when we used to play local tournaments.

Wo, you've joined NSC so you can play the chess tournament - and you played local chess tournaments. **** that shit.

[Dick Head]

I'm starting to wonder if I've bitten off more than I can chew.

 

[MrSnuggles]

Seems to be some very good players on here! The standard of players l've been drawn is very high!

I’m surprised by the high standard of NSC members. Very enjoyable though. Be a shame after all the hard work by Pickles and Matthew to let things get spoilt

The only requirement is you're an Albion fan no?

 

[Is it PotG?]

It's only a bit of fun.

Really enjoyed shaking off the cobwebs so far, haven't played for years.

Keep it fun though.

Yeah, but no doubt some grand master around the world likes Brighton, and it'd be a bit a of a piss take if they turn up to smash everyone.

I know it's only for fun, so getting smashed is no big deal, but having excellent players turn up doesn't seem quite right. We might as well have half the people from the local chess clubs (I'm sure plenty of them check out our scores) turn up to give the NSC folk a thrashing. It wouldn't be quite the casual NSC tournie it started out as.

Anyway, I'm not even playing, it's just an opinion

 

[Kylegreen-1]

Haven’t played in years so most likely terrible now but played for my school and we won almost everything in the county the last year I played so I’d be up for a game haha

THIS!!!!

 

[Questions]

Lost all 6 of mine, resigned the last 2 quite quickly. Need to go and have some time on the board before we go again.

Good luck though peeps. Can’t believe in the space of 2/3 years how I’ve gone downhill.

BUT I’ll be back.

 

[Petee]

Can we have a 'plate' type competition for the 3rd and 4th place finishers

 

[Gwylan]

I think it will sort itself out. I won two of my games as the bloke was timed out but I'm clearly against two stronger players in the other games. But, as I understand it, once we know our strengths, it's easier to sort out a couple of leagues.

I know I'll finish third in my group, as I haven't played chess for 40 years, but the next time I'll be more evenly matched and I may know what I'm doing the next time

Agree with this. i have struggled to keep on top of 6 games at once as havent played for years and its makng me very slow. However I am really loving it but would prefer a type of knockout so I could concentrate on 1 game only and start to develop an understanding of the different openings etc.

Perhaps a straight knockout tournament for the 3 and 4 from each group so there is still an interest if you lose at the group stage

 

[BH-Albion]

Have followed posts on NSC for a long time and a life long Albion supporter home and away for 40+ years, certainly didn’t enter to get any satisfaction from beating anyone, just st trying to join in what seemed a good idea ;-)

 

[Giraffe]

Well I had a couple of great games with Attila that I really enjoyed, mainly the one I scraped a win in! He is very very good I think, and still not quite sure how I didn’t lose both of them.

What’s the next stage?
