CindyInTN: I just checked, 3rd weekend in June is the next event in Knoxville, but I am scheduled to be in Harrisonburg at the James Madison Univeristy tournament that weekend. I can see if someone will switch with me, I will direct the tournament in Knoxville if they direct the one in Virginia.

I apologized to fencer that I am no buttkisser hence have to correct his statement.
the average mod of course got into position by buttkissing only, not by social skills
so I can't even fix it to who of the embarrassed dweebs urged to an intervention ... ~*~

You were playing that chess simul thingy, so I couldn't just walk up and say hello. I'm too shy! ROFL!! I was there for maybe an hour. It was such a nice day I just wanted to get back outside and enjoy it. I'll come to the next event if you'll let me know when the next one is, or will you advertise it on the radio again?

chessmec: yes - I was called insulting ... guess I used the word intelligence which
might of course be insulting for very stupid people who should not be mods though.
like on the gothic board in earlier times when the word honesty was not welcome ... ~*~

Walter Montego 
Subject: Re: Re:
Chessmaster1000: The rule could be that a Rook may only be captured if it it throwing a check or if the capturing move throws a check. Plus regular checkmates could win. Besides, a Pawn can be promoted to a Rook, so instead of going for a Queen, it might go a lot differently in the ending. A Queen might still be your choice, but only because it'll help you get two Rooks with your remaining Pawns. Especially if a regular checkmate is not a win.

Yes, ughaibu, give it some thought. You might be onto a variant of a sort here. :)

Subject: Re:
ughaibu: I'm going to post a thematic chess tournament, winners will be those to first double rooks on the 7th, no draws. The tournament'll be entitled "blind pigs" and'll be co-dedicated to the global moderators and the cloak facility.

If there is no checkmate and winners will be only that would have both Rooks at 7th rank, then i think ALL games will be draw! Because it's impossible to prevent an opponent from capturing at least one of our Rook........

The game would become interesting if only 1 Rook would have to reach 7th rank..........

How long were you there? Will you be there next month for the June tournament??

Last weekend there was a Gothic Chess tournament at the University of Tennessee. I had heard about it on the radio and in the paper and it's only 40 minutes from my house, so I drove by to have a look. Nicely organized event with lots of friendly people playing Gothic Chess (i'd say 100 or more). I did catch a glimpse of Ed Trice walking around playing what people were telling me was a "simul". There were 12 people playing Gothic Chess against him at the same time and he won all of the games. Quite a cutie too if I must say so!! I am not the biggest chess fan, but I think you all have some strange sort of jealous thing going on. Lighten up!

Well, in the game Trice-Alex a draw offer all three moves wuould be strange enough, yes ... but this can not be prohibited in my opinion. draw offer every move should be only prohibited.
but maybe worth to look at: a checkbox such as "i do not accept draw offers" ...

Subject: Re:
ughaibu: when i offer a draw, then it i do it because
a) i mean the position is in my opinion equal and
a1) the tournament can be done with the draw (depends on my rank)
a2) i am playing against a strong player and it is such as a "leading question" ... just to know a little bit more what the opponent want ;-)
b) i am in a better position bt in the tournament/match this is enough

22. May 2005, 21:40:07

Generally it's bad manners to offer a draw in an inferior position, in effect this means that if a draw offer is refused the opponent thinks that their position is better, ie no consecutive draw offers by either player.
