    Default Chess

    If anybody is interested I've been playing at Chess.com. There was talk of a Quill tourney at one point but even just casual games, rated or not, would be great. We can post the results and make our feeble excuses here. Feel free to add me as a friend

    Hmmph. I heard, through the grapevine mind you, that you are terrible at chess. That you are abominable at chess. That the creators of the game had nightmares about players as bad as you would eventually become. My name is 'lyloso' at the same site. Please feel free to embarrass thyselves. Aw yeah. Et cetera.

    P.S. This site has changed so much. I don't know who any of you are anymore :O I still love you though werd.
    I will avenge you, senpai!

    What do you mean Lyle? Are you refering to my spiralling descent into mundanity? I can't help it, the working world squeezes the life out of me! But I still have a "rich inner life"*

    * I think about deep stuff** for five minutes every night before I pass out from exhaustion!
    ** Deep stuff includes, but is not limited to, questions like; what would Obama do? What would Jesus do? What would Richard Hammond from Top Gear do?

    No. Seriously. My boyfriend is music.

    What, too soon?

    My chess-play is far-from-simple and beyond the grasp of badgers and tinkerers like you. It is above all the ethical and cosmological considerations that influence my game that set me apart. Example:

    "Until the 23rd, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar ninth house. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. Therefore Rxf7."

    Example the second:

    "12 Bxg8? This move is based on an appeal to emotion and is a form of logical fallacy, since the desirability of the consequence (checkmate) does not address the truth value of the premise (I just feel like moving the bishop. It hasn't moved in a while ><). Moreover, in categorizing the consequences of this move as either desirable or undesirable, such arguments inherently contain subjective points of view. Therefore 12. Qe1 Nxe1, an "all too human" maneuver as Neechee would have it.

    Chess? Is that the game where you hang a bladder of cheap white wine off a rotary clothes line and spin it to see who has to drink the wine from the wine bag?
