The Chump vs The Champ

Remove this text

The Champ-Carolus Rex-a proven champion.A brilliant tactician of immense talent.A crafty seasoned veteran of world class chess..well..its a stretch but..

The Chump-Smash-inexperienced,uneducated also ran.Just finished carving the last pawn from bars of soap so he'd have a chess set to play with.He still calls rooks castles and likes the horsey piece best.

GAME ON.

I think you've got it. But then again, I thought I had it in the last game. And then again again, which piece is the Kite? Oh, wait, you mean Night. Or was that Nite?

BTW, Carolus, I posted in our game's thread a final post to the effect of 'Now you take black!' See where it gets you? c2-c4???? AARRGGHH!!

Hey, my local kibitzer just pointed out that on the board I was using at work to follow our game, I was playing white/red, not white/black. That must have been the problem, right?

And, yes, the Sandbagger definition will need to be modified. That was laid on pretty thick. "Horsey"??

BTW, SG. Congrats! 1001 posts! And has anyone noticed the international flavor of this endeavor? Sweden, UK, Canada, and the US?

Yes.

On second thoughts, no.

But I have to pause the game until next week, is that ok with you?

I'm leaving town Wednesday, have to prepare some stuff for the trip and I won't be back until Monday.

Is this acceptable?

A sandbagger is one who deceives you about his true nature or intent so that he can take advantage of you.

Full PM-box? Change here!

Methinks CR is going on a trip to meet with someone whose last name starts with K.

Actually,a sandbagger is one who deceives you about their true skill level.Like a scratch golfer that enters a tournament with a 10 handicap.

Or a Mexican chess player that puts the knights and bishops on the wrong square,then blows you off the board with a 13 move combination.After goading you into a wager of course.

Not that I would know anything about that.

???? Kibitzing??? I suppose I could have spelled it wrong.

To kibitz means to stand to the side and offer both wanted and unwanted advice, both good and bad. Not that I would ever do that.

Editing note: I just checked "kibitz" with my Word spellcheck and it appears to be correct. Give enough monkeys...

No, I didn't think you'd spelled it wrong or anything. Just didn't know what it meant and picked something sounding similar... Me King of Sweden, remember?
