The Wrath Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Does anyone here play Yahoo chess? I play pretty frequently. At the moment I have a 1255 rating...almost had a 1300, then I had a 5 game losing streak. If anyone wants to play, my name is aggie51482.

Eternal Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Does anyone here play Yahoo chess? I play pretty frequently. At the moment I have a 1255 rating...almost had a 1300, then I had a 5 game losing streak. If anyone wants to play, my name is aggie51482. I used to play over there a lot, used to be in mid 1400 at that time. I haven't played in a year, but I'm sure I'm still pretty competent. Let me know when you're on, and we'll play a few.

The Wrath Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I mostly just get on whenever I feel like taking a break from working on my thesis. With a rating that high, I'm sure you'll beat me...I'm actually not bad, but I make blunders that there's no excuse to make. I usually wind up unnecessarily sacrificing my queen or overlooking something and getting drawn into a quick checkmate. I'll try to be in the Alligator Tunnel tonight at 9 EST, if you want to play.

The Wrath Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Okay, with that rating, I have no doubt that you will kick my arse, but I'm always up for a challenge. Edited March 25, 2006 by Moose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wrath Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Well Eternal, you may have kicked my butt a few times, but you also turned on a light bulb above my head. After playing you, I've only lost 3 out of my last 25 games. I also drew 4 where I was getting my butt kicked but, through careful strategy, managed to draw my opponent into a stalemate. I've also handled a couple of upper 1300's with a certain deal of ease. So, I propose a rematch for whenever you want. We'll see if I really learned something or if I've just had a lucky string of really stupid opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'm glad you scored some victories. The only way to really learn chess is by losing (so you'll most likely end up learning a lot from me ). I found that playing somebody ranked 100-200 points higher is usually optimal, because you don't just get obliterated, and victory, though elusive, is always within a motivating grasp. I'll IM you through AOL, when I have some free time set aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles2112 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hmmm...I haven't played chess in LONG time (and I was never good) I should get back to playing it. Battleship is my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charybdis Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I used to hang out and play a lot of the Yahoo games. I mostly played Chess and Towers. Look me up if you'd like a game of either, sometime. I am terrible at Chess, but it takes many moves to beat me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrath Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I've recently started playing again, pretty frequently. If anyone wants to play, IM me on AOL at Moose51482. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
