Okâ?¦gotta be honest hereâ?¦.there is no way in hell that I ever imagined that I could compete with you in an honest gameâ?¦â?¦truth is, the game was rigged. I could even beat you with four decksâ?¦..but Iâ??d have to rig that too, to win.

I only play this game (1 deck) because itâ??s so mindless that it doesnâ??t draw my attention from streaming audio.

There could be an upside thoughâ?¦.it wonâ??t take you too long at all and could even be fun for a â??busy mindâ?� such as yourselfâ?¦..How to rig the game???

If you search for

Over on the IC, there are some interesting concepts being bandied about.:cool:
Might be worth a look.

This question is for Siggy Fraud . . .

I keep having a dream where I'm being attacked by evil teddy bears. Using cheating and dirty fighting, I'm usually able to kick the heads off of hundreds of them before I wake up. What does it mean?

Zis would indicate zat someone you loved has hurt you deeply.
You can not fathom why, and you are conflicted about retaliation.

To re-validate your anger, and so, your ego.
There are two paths you can follow here.
You can become the TBs, seeking the reason for their betrayal.
Or, you can take a fragmentation grenade to bed with you.

Hey weez, nope didnt ask the guy about the little chess board illustration. Although Im pretty sure you just have to have two seperate accounts, and then save the game when done.

I just went here, Analysis Board, PGN Editor, Chess Diagram Tool - Chess.com (http://www.chess.com/analysis-board-editor.html)
and yes thats just a screen shot, nothing special.

I cant find my "real life" board so I just been keeping track on that site, and then saving a screen shot to keep up to date.

what did you think of my last move B-g5, seemed good last night, don't like it this morning. haha

this morning I will go with N b1-d2

Poor knight was scratchin' at da screen door.:)

I just hit the site header and looked fo' editor downloads.
There it was.
Free too!

They have all kine tools in there.:cool:
Including algorithms I was unaware of.:thumbsup:

Wasted months waiting for a game here, when I could have been kicking the snot out of Little Off n onnie, off-line.:D

That said, the hyper-modern openings seem to need hyper-modern response.
They fail miserably against common sense and logical developement.

Just an observation from a guy that only knows one opening all the way through.
Never bothered to try to memorize them.
I rely on basic principles for my openings.

Move each pieces, only once, to the most effective square, etc.

So;

Big ol' queen to D6.

What?
Too soon?
Perhaps.:cool:

Well I grew up in New Mexico, and I had a tile co. I started, got to travel a bit, hit hawaii, said surfing is where its at. Moved to hawaii to surf, :stoned:
Owned a small condo in new mexico, needed work, came back about a year and half ago, met a girl and got stuck here for a bit, I plan on comming back to the islands someday soon, or at least somewhere I can surf, Miss it to much.
Hawaii had a lot of good and bad things, Im an alright surfer, don't think im a kook at least, hahaha.

North shore for me, 4-6ft is killer, I mostly surfed off the wall, & chuns. Ill go out when a little bigger, but thats getting epic, other places on the oahu larger waves just didnt seem as heavy as the north shore.

Even though it's prolly a clever pawn sacrifice, I don't see it from here.
But, you gave up your first-move advantage when you moved the queen's knight twice!
And, I'm keen to see how it plays out.

Also looks like your reply will be Q - Q4
aka, D1 - D4.

That being the case, my smartest move is
P - K4
aka, E3 - E4 -En Guard

I'm going to post both notations of each move.
That should help anyone lolo enough to try to follow this game.:D

Got yer pawn back, eh?:)

ill go q x e4

e7 - f6, I think.

But Q - Kb3 is accurate.:D

Whee!

[MimbresValley]

oh I see, so when doing the second notation you just did, both players are on the 1 side.
if that makes sense.

p - f3

[MimbresValley]

good move , the last one, i must say

[Slevinkal]

if you look at the diagram I posted up you can see the letters and numbers:thumbsup:

[Weezard]

oh I see, so when doing the second notation you just did, both players are on the 1 side.

p - f3


Kinda.
In classic notation, each player counts from their 1st rank towards the opposition.
That's what throws me with the grid notation.

However, I should have typed;

Black: Queen to King's bishop's 3

(Not gonna happen, I'm way too lazy fo' dat.:D)

So, we "shorthand" Q - Kb3
It is understood that it's Black's Queen and Black's King side bishop's file.

Once understood, one can mentally "see" the moves without referring to a grid for co-ordinates.

I once played a 40 move game in my head because we had no board, or light, or paper, or clothes.
Had to shout the moves through a 4" vent hole in the back of the cell.
Long story.


So I will address your Pawn to Kb3, with;

Qb - Kb4 En Guard!

aka: C1 - F5

And thanks fo' da kudos, but it was the only decent move I had.
You have done remarkable damage with a very odd opening.

Does it have a name, or didja jus' "wing it" :)


Aloha,

[MimbresValley]

well Its a variation on the benko opening g3, its usually transposes to a kings indian or kings knight defense. cant remember their names.hhaa

So when I got out of high school went to college for one semester, LOL
I had a math class I ended up dropping, but the math professor was some fucking genius, he was like 28 and already had his doctorate it math, he mentioned he like playing chess and after I dropped his class I asked if he would like to play.

We played about 50 games that semester I only won once, when he ran out of time.
LOL.

the g3 was his favorite move, and he would almost always play it.
Granted this was like 8years ago, whatt I remember him saying about the game was

The opening works more on an indirect control of the center as opposed to a e4, or d4 or night opening.
Later when the center opens up more the bishop is on a powerful square controlling the diagonal. He was also big on castling early,
Its important to not get a "bad bishop" when playing this.
He would also go by points, for instance if I lost two pawns, even early in the game, he would say you have already lost.

2 advantages equates to a win, unless you make a mistake to negate it.
He was always talking about time, space, shit I can't remember what else he would say, im real sporadic when it comes to playing chess, I have only played a hanful of times the couple years, and just started getting back into playing a couple months ago.

I also have greatly enjoyed this game we are playiner here.

to me this has been more fun than just logging onto a site and playing.

[MimbresValley]

as for chess notation, had to google it this morning, cause I cant remember jack about the different ones.
So after a little reading, I guess I like abbreviated algerbraic notation, but sometimes I slip in a full algerbraic notation.

The other notation is descriptive, and it confuses me.
Here is what a board looks like when doing the descriptive notation.

[attachment=o259369]

Have you ever seen those strange letters and numbers listed in chess books and chess news articles? You were looking at chess notation. Chess notation is the written language of the game used to record matches fully. They are also used in instruction on how to play chess in books and tutorials.
Chess notation come in three basic forms, namely: Algebraic Notation, Descriptive Notation and Forsyth Notation. Let us look at each in turn.
Algebraic Notation
This chess notation type is the standard method of recording games. The vertical lines or files are named after letters of the alphabet, a-h with a starting at the queen's side and h at the king's side. Horizontal lines are numbered 1-8 with 1 at white's back rank and 8 as black's back rank.
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 A B C D E F G H
Symbols
K - King, Q - Queen, R - Rook, N - Knight, B - Bishop, O-O - Castle Short, O-O-O - Castle Long, + - Check, # or ++ - Checkmate
The square b1, therefore, refers to a white knight's home square. A move of e7-e5 refers to the black king's pawn advancing by two squares.
There two variations of the Algebraic Notation type: full and abbreviated. In the full notation, both the source square and arrival square are indicated; in the abbreviated version, only the latter is given. An exception to this is when two chessmen of the same kind can move to the same square; then the starting file or rank of the moving man is shown. s Full Abbreviated 3. a2-a3 a3 7. Bc1-e3 Be3 8. Qd1xg4 Qxg4
Descriptive Notation
The Descriptive Notation type will strike new players as easier to use than the Algebraic Notation. Here the locators are relative to the player's viewpoint. The files are the same for black and white, but the ranks run in opposite directions.
Each file is named after the piece in it and the monarch ruling that side. As you know, one side of the board is the king's side; the other is the queen's side. The file with the knights in it is the QN or QKN or queen's knight file. But the ranks differ so that white's QN3 is black's QN6.
For instance, white's KR2 refers to h7 in Algebraic Notation and to black's KR7.
1 8 2 - Black's ranks 7 3 6 4 5 5 4 6 White's ranks - 3 7 2 8 1 QR QN QB Q K KB KN KR
Forsythe Notation
The Forsyth Notation gives a quick review of chess board positions. Each rank is written from left to right (queen's side to king's side) and all chessmen are shown including pawns (which are omitted in standard notation).
A line of
3Bn2P/
� means three blank squares on the queen's side followed by a white bishop, immediately followed by a black knight, two more blank squares and a white pawn. This is only a partial notation; there must be eighth segments separated by slashes to describe the whole board which has eight ranks.
Symbols (white uppercase, black lowercase)
P, p Pawn R, r Rook B, b Bishop N, n Knight Q, q Queen K, k king / End of line # Any number means empty squares
To be able to record and review games in these various chess notations is a vital part of your chess education. You will notice different books and tutorials use different methods, so it is well you become acquainted with all of them. Besides, it's a nice way to impress your family and friends!

as for chess notation...

GREAT!!!

Seeing as I've already been reading basically non-stop lately, cannabis cultivation, genetics, breeding, catcher in the rye, under the dome, and a few others I'm full of new info...

Thanks for making my eyes bleed :D

[Weezard]

as for chess notation, had to google it this morning, cause I cant remember jack about the different ones.
So after a little reading, I guess I like abbreviated algerbraic notation, but sometimes I slip in a full algerbraic notation.

The other notation is descriptive, and it confuses me.
Here is what a board looks like when doing the descriptive notation.

[attachment=o259369]

Have you ever seen those strange letters and numbers listed in chess books and chess news articles? You were looking at chess notation. Chess notation is the written language of the game used to record matches fully. They are also used in instruction on how to play chess in books and tutorials.
Chess notation come in three basic forms, namely: Algebraic Notation, Descriptive Notation and Forsyth Notation. Let us look at each in turn.
Algebraic Notation
This chess notation type is the standard method of recording games. The vertical lines or files are named after letters of the alphabet, a-h with a starting at the queen's side and h at the king's side. Horizontal lines are numbered 1-8 with 1 at white's back rank and 8 as black's back rank.
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 A B C D E F G H
Symbols
K - King, Q - Queen, R - Rook, N - Knight, B - Bishop, O-O - Castle Short, O-O-O - Castle Long, + - Check, # or ++ - Checkmate
The square b1, therefore, refers to a white knight's home square. A move of e7-e5 refers to the black king's pawn advancing by two squares.
There two variations of the Algebraic Notation type: full and abbreviated. In the full notation, both the source square and arrival square are indicated; in the abbreviated version, only the latter is given. An exception to this is when two chessmen of the same kind can move to the same square; then the starting file or rank of the moving man is shown. s Full Abbreviated 3. a2-a3 a3 7. Bc1-e3 Be3 8. Qd1xg4 Qxg4
Descriptive Notation
The Descriptive Notation type will strike new players as easier to use than the Algebraic Notation. Here the locators are relative to the player's viewpoint. The files are the same for black and white, but the ranks run in opposite directions.
Each file is named after the piece in it and the monarch ruling that side. As you know, one side of the board is the king's side; the other is the queen's side. The file with the knights in it is the QN or QKN or queen's knight file. But the ranks differ so that white's QN3 is black's QN6.
For instance, white's KR2 refers to h7 in Algebraic Notation and to black's KR7.
1 8 2 - Black's ranks 7 3 6 4 5 5 4 6 White's ranks - 3 7 2 8 1 QR QN QB Q K KB KN KR
Forsythe Notation
The Forsyth Notation gives a quick review of chess board positions. Each rank is written from left to right (queen's side to king's side) and all chessmen are shown including pawns (which are omitted in standard notation).
A line of
3Bn2P/

Symbols (white uppercase, black lowercase)

Great post, thanks!
Sounds like your mentor understood temporal advantage.
:thumbsup:

Material advantage is obvious.
Positional advantage?
It's right in your face, hard to miss.
But give up too much time to gain those 2 pawns, and a good tempo player will usually prevail.
Don't let that worry you though. It only works with a good tempo player. :)
I'm jus' a wood pusher.:(

Meanwhile, has your queen noticed the enemy bishop in her bed?:stoned:

Aloha,

[MimbresValley]

Don't count me in just yet, end game is my weak link.

Im stuck between the N b3-a5 or N b3 -c5 N b3-d2
or one of the rooks.

[MimbresValley]

Im going to go with R a1-d1
Was between that one and the knight to D2/
what would u have done?

[Slevinkal]

R F1-e1

[MimbresValley]

hmm if you play R x D1, my last move was a waste of tempo I would think.

[Weezard]

hmm if you play R x D1, my last move was a waste of tempo I would think.

Respectfully, I disagree.
'cause I got no rooks on D.:D:stoned:
Last time I saw my second rook

You seem to me an early riser.
And so, I used to be.
Now, I let my brain awake
'fore I set my body free.:)

Aloha mornin' to ya.

[MimbresValley]

hey buddy just to make sure with it being your move, is this the same board you are seeing?

Ju's a li'l bit wrong.:)

You left off your last move which was;

"R F1-e1"

Then are you suggesting that I move g7 - g5 instead of f7 - f5?

O K, If you wish.
It's actually a better choice for me.:cool:

Ya :stoned::stoned::stoned:er. :D

Weeze

[MimbresValley]

lol were quite the team,
yeah I generally get up around 6:30
I used to go surf early as fuck paddle out when it was still dark= )

[MimbresValley]

thougght and thought, finally got toked up and passed out, just going with the r-d3 not sure if its the best move.

[Weezard]

E3? D3?
Don't really matter much to me.


Black is toothless and disorganized.
When dey passed out da dumb, I super-sized
Way too dumb to know I'm pau
A good player would resign by now.

Unfortunately,

I'm not good enough to know when I'm beat.:)
An' a li'l too stubborn to admit defeat.
I'll hang in for a nother turn.
n scrap n tussle, n crash, n burn!


So;
g7 -g5

Mornin'!

Wee 'zard

[MimbresValley]

Relax, my friend.
You are far from toast.:cool:

Ya got 2 pawns on me.
And, those pawns have a clear shot to the 8th rank!
A pawn promotion will win the game.:thumbsup:
All you need to do is avoid mate to take advantage of that fact.
With this mess it should be a walk.:jointsmile:

e8 - e7

R - K2

I like rooks.

Weeze

Hi buddy

[Weezard]

Hi buddy

Howzit?
Got a reply yet?

If you care about win/lose a lot, I'll be just as happy to resign and give you a win.

Ainokea, honestly.
I'm kind of a Ronin about dat.

Aloha,
Weeze

[MimbresValley]

I resign, Great Game Weezie= ) I really enjoyed it!:thumbsup:

[MimbresValley]

wanna start another one on chess.com or pogo?

[MimbresValley]

I could have possibly played R f4?
or was that it?

[Weezard]

I resign, Great Game Weezie= ) I really enjoyed it!:thumbsup:

Mahalo nui.
Been fun!

And since you asked;

"where did I go wrong weezie?"

Short answer?
You didn't "go wrong".
You played a beautiful positional/material, game.:cool:

I played this one for "temporal advantage".

Gave you a pawn to negate the "first move advantage"
Then traded a piece that had been moved once, for a piece of equal value, except it had been moved more than once.:)

That gave me a one move advantage time wise.
You actually played very well, you just ran short of time in the end game.
You had superior position, just not enough time to exploit that fact.

I usually play my first game that way.
(Even masters fall prey to an unexpected tempo game.:upsidedow)

I do not really play to win.
I jus' play for the patterns, the webs of force, the beauty of the game.
It is nusic to me.

Prolly lose mo' dan half my games when the "right move" is less esthetically pleasing to me than the "wrong move".:D

Not in it for trophies.
In it for the "dance".

I see Slevinkal standin in da wings.
How 'bout, you an' him play?
Jus' lemme watch an' kibbitz.

Den, I'll play da winner, or da most willing, ainokea.:rastasmoke:

Aloha Y'all
Wee Itty 'zard

[Slevinkal]

QUITTERS!!!

LOL

[MimbresValley]

[Slevinkal]

Did ya'll start another game elsewhere?

[Weezard]

Did ya'll start another game elsewhere?


Nope, I jus' ran out of spare time for a while.
And, I thought MV was waiting for you to challenge him.
He's fun to play, you'll enjoy.:)

Aloha,
Weezard

[Slevinkal]
