LOL everyone is underselling their ability so much I look forward to regularly having my ass handed to me by people who "suck at chess". I'm used to it. I've spent what seems like half my life in pool halls and every single person I've ever met in one "didn't play for years", or "used to play but I wasn't very good".

lol. This is exactly what it feels like

@Lowmanproblems we should have just made a 10 minute a side game. I’m on now though and we can go back and forth until we finish it if you’re around as well

I took my second state bar not long ago. Wasn't much fun. Some stuff I was fine on, but T&E, wills, partnerships, etc were all beyond me.

I'm personally stunned by how much black letter law I've just forgotten. I'm also stunned by just how little I studied for my 1st bar compared to what I'm doing now.

Give @Lead your chess username and join in my spot. Nobody didn’t want you in. There were just some jokes about how it would go if you won the whole thing because of some clashes with lounge regulars is all

And hopefully no one is sad enough to cheat. Like really, someone needs the validation that comes from beating a random user in a chess game while knowing they couldn’t actually win that and just cheated like a pouting kid?

Oh, they're sad enough lol

Can we have a separate sticky for this? Then I can "watch" that thread to keep up doin's and goin's on.

I can make a thread in the great beyond and tag people. I feel like most will just continue talking about it here. Since it’s isn’t politically relevant and only involves 16 of us, a thread in the WR, let alone a sticky seems excessive.
 
Did I mention I had to register as rebound59 because my AndyCapp spot was taken?

Good luck sherbros and sherbras (if any). I hope no one takes this seriously enough to care enough to cheat, or hates his fellow sherbros enough to want to fuck this up for everybody just trying to have fun. But if you do,

Please just go now and play with yourself instead.

I did about 20 games on there and in .500. But I would assume that’s against newer opponents at 800. I seem to just stay at that number.

I think people will cheat. It seems like Lead really doesn't want me in anyway, so I'm fine. If anybody trustworthy wants to play a single game on a free site, let me know. I've actually never played against anybody online, but I think it would be fine.

You actually think people will cheat ?

Anyone specific lol

Lol, ain't that the truth about pool halls. Always filled with 'dude I'm average at best' types and then they are great if not amazing come game time.

I think clicking that link will let others see how the game played out. I managed to beat @Lowmanproblems who had me entirely defensive and merely reacting to him until he for some reason decided to take a pawn and sacrifice his queen. Maybe just didn’t at all see my knight there ready, which happened to my badly twice in my test game against @Fawlty yesterday where he definitely didn’t take a piece of mine on the 3rd turn out of pity.

The smarter ones wait until after you've played for beers a few times then suggest a money game.

@Gandhi liked the post and didn't reply

That's like in real life a person lightly smiling and walking away when you say something to them.

@Clippy, can you believe this shit? Only one thing to do now. Gear up for a WR chess tournament, am I right?

Yeah man it's like he doesn't even get us
