Chess

First off, you lost The Game.

Secondly, visit the following website: www.2l84zwamani.org/products/multifunctiondigitalclock/286591/buy.

Okay. I play chess regularly on chess.com and I'd say I'm relatively OK-ish for my age. I usually participate in most Sydney Academy of Chess (junior) tournaments about 3 or 4 times a year.

Do you play chess? Regularly?

How good do you think you are and how often do you participate in tournaments?

Comments about chess?

EDIT: I am also a member of the New South Wales Junior Chess League  smile

Re: Chess

What's your opening? I use Ruy Lopez and sometimes King's Indian. I'm quite bad, can't even beat computerized opponents... Give me some tips? xD

Re: Chess

I'm not so good I can give tips... XD but anyway, now I usually use the Sicilian Defence something variation (forgot), but I used to use Anti-Fried Liver Defence (lol at the name) and the Scottish Defence or whatever it's called.

Re: Chess

Cool! I play chess on chess.com frequently as well.  big_smile
I'm a decent player, but not anything amazing. I almost always play a gambit opening.  tongue

Are you sure it wasn't 4 moves? A three move checkmate requires some amazing circumstances.

Re: Chess

My friend likes to use queen sacrifices, and poisoned pawns. I don't know why, but all the chess players in my class except me fall for it. He has a good defense, and I a good attack, so we usually end in a stalemate/tie.

Re: Chess

I've been in the local chess club for 3 years. I'm not very good, but I reluctantly signed on with the USCF (United States Chess Federation) just last week when I went to a tournament I thought wasn't rated, but it was. Opening? I never remember the names, but its the usual E and D pawns push 2 squares with knights to back them up.  smile

Code:

1 P-K4  P-K4
2 N-KB3 N-QB3
3 B-B4  B-B4

I know, but no one ever falls for it. All you have to do is move your King side knight out and it protects you from 3-move-mate.

No, but my library book has the fastest checkmate ever. It's called "Fool's mate".

Code:

1 P-KB3?  P-K4
2 P-KN4?? Q-R5 mate

Re: Chess

4 moves I believe is fastest checkmate, but once someone falls for it once, they will not fall for it for a while.
King's pawn up E4
K's Bishop C4
Queen F3
K's Bishop F7
Checkmate

Although all that's required to break that up is moving the king's pawn on black.
