Once Dolphin, Now Seagull
Good luck for the next couple of weeks maffew see you back on here soon
Rightio chaps.
I've pm'd maffew and he's going to hospital soon so maybe won't be able to sort things as quickly as he'd hoped.
Therefore, I've just paid up on Chess.com. and have created a club for us : Brighton and Hove Albion (NSC)
This is the link https://www.chess.com/club/brighton-and-hove-albion-nsc
When you join, I'll get a message and accept you, after all, we don't want the pikey boys riff raff to infiltrate and ruin it
If you could pm me ( rather than clutter up NSC ) with your username on chess.com,then I know it's you
I've also set up a private tournament for 32 players, split into 8 groups of 4, of which 2 from each will progress. The time on this is one move, minimum, per 24 hours. As we all know, the games move along a lot quicker than this.
Each group of 4, randomly chosen by the website, not me, will play 6 games at the same time ,2 each against the 3 opponents in your group.
This is the tournament link www.chess.com/tournament/albion-nsc-open, this should start next Friday.
Hopefully every one that's said they'll play,will. IT'S FREE TO JOIN AND PLAY
As I said, try to pm me, or once you've joined and been accepted, post on the chess message board, rather than keep bouncing this to the top
Bear with me on this as we all get used to it
Let's BASH our BISHOPS!!!!!
Great work Pickles.
Sisterdolly is looking forward to playing with you she says and trying to pinch your bishop. If I remember rightly you’ve always showed us a strong queen.

Looking forward to this as I haven’t played for about 40 years but just one question about playing chess online. Isn’t it easy to just put your position into your home chess computer to find the best move?

Well I guess the expectation is that people don't cheat by using computers.

I think most people's integrity can be trusted, but there'll always be one.
There is built in cheater protection but practically it is hard to detect under long time controls. If you start using computer moves you'll find yourself banned pretty quickly.
If you are new back to chess a regular player will know pretty quickly if you are cheating. It takes quite a while to get back to previous levels if you’ve had a substantial break.
Most regular online players have a rating so if they’ve cheated to get that high then they are sad ��

I think that's the idea. I'll find it hard to commit to 30 minute games - if we each have 6 games in the group format that's 3 hours I've got to find and set aside which is tricky.
Yes, they'll take longer but on the other hand you can be playing all 6 games at the same time. You can then dip in and out of them whenever you like - I might make a move in each game before work, a move during each coffee break / lunch, and then time for a few in the evening (if opponents are also dipping in and out).
I don't think a maximum time limit of 1 day will mean that every move takes day - but to be honest even if it did, so what? If the tournament takes 6 months to complete then so be it - there's no restriction on how many other non-NSC people you're playing elsewhere - and think of the tension/excitement/anticipation/bed-wetting as the rest of us watch the final take place over a week or so (though there would have to be very strict rules about no commenting on games on NSC).
