Title: Sometimes I love chess...
Post by: that Baby guy on October 14, 2007, 03:37:43 PM: I'm playing a guy who refuses to forfeit, so I decided I'd have some fun. =)

Post by: that Baby guy on October 14, 2007, 06:39:10 PM: That's only if I go for making the rest of the pawns into queens. If I wanted to, I could checkmate in a max of four combined moves, minimum of two. I've already skipped the opportunity several times, though.

Stalemate

Post by: that Baby guy on October 15, 2007, 07:04:29 AM: Right, but the fact is, unless I don't pay attention, I can keep him from being in that position. Like I said, there's two different paths he could take right now, and if I chose to, I could checkmate him for sure in either path. Crimm was wrong.

Post by: Crimm on October 15, 2007, 08:39:25 AM: Not exactly wrong. I don't think there is any logical way to get a true stalemate. But he could have just prolonged the agony by being careful with his moves so long as to frusterate.

Post by: Stogi on October 15, 2007, 03:36:23 PM: I thought if the king moves 11 times after having no more pieces that it's a draw?

Anyway, I'd love to play you thatguy. I use to play all the time back in day (highschool). When there was a night with nothing going on we would sometimes whip out the chess board and bet on games (for beers, greens, and what not). Always a good time.

Just to clarify, we'd play timed chess.

Post by: that Baby guy on October 15, 2007, 03:41:20 PM: If that's true, he's still got a piece. As far as timed chess goes, I've never played in that manner, so I'm almost certain you'd win. This snapshot was only made possible because my friend made about three or four bone-headed moves in a row, and I had as much time as necessary to take advantage of them.

Post by: Stogi on October 15, 2007, 03:48:52 PM: well we played timed chess only to get the games moving along. I have actually played regular chess more often.
