Harry Seldon had joined, but Jamski never showed up, so Harry needs an opponent.

OK, i can play two paralel games. We'll play 10 games, everybody vs everybody. Now Harry Seldon should play white vs. SRalph and play black vs. JWarior .
JW, SR are you ready to play two games at the same time?
Harry Seldon, you?

So you want white or black against me this first game?

With five players, it would be 8 games to play each opponent from each side.

No, everybody play once with everybody, everybody play 4 games and everybody play white twice.

That ruins my draw as black, win as white strategy against Sir Ralph.

I can play more than one game at a time. And I'd have nothing against 2 rounds with different colors.

I was joking around in my last post - whatever the majority of participants feel like is ok with me.

You play white vs Harry Seldon
SirRalp, you play black vs. Harry Seldon

Diss, if you wanna join now you should play black with MTG and white with me... But i think that you would better participate in Apolyton trolling contest, where you have all chances to achive first place and get one week restriction.

I looked through the games, and I have some thoughts, some of which I already posted in individual threads.

1) It is useful to post a graphic at move 10, say, then every 5 moves after.

2) Long form algebraic notation doesn't seem necessary to me..........it's just so ugly and short-form is fine (check out the Ralph-MtG game).

3) As is standard in correspondence style games you can post conditional moves when there is an obvious recapture. For example:

10: Nxe4, and if ......10 Nxe4 then
11: etc

This might help keep things moving along.

I think you guys need a Chess forum. You're certainly making more traffic than many of the hived off "other games"

I sent Julius Brenzaida a private message about the games; hopefully he'll show up.

With all respect for the currently active players, whoever emerges as the strongest one will have to face JB IMHO before calling himself the Apolyton champ. Julius hasn't even let a draw out of his hands...

I used to play Chess constantly a few years back, actually I was pretty good. Unfortunately, I'm totally out of practice, and I never really learned the "Chess lingo" (move markings, etc.) so I'm afraid I'll sit this one out

I only have the game with Sir Ralph going, and it's fairly slow moving in more ways than one, since it's a closed middlegame and we're 9 hours apart in time zone.

I'm available for a couple more.

Algebric notation is better, IMO

far better, but Dr Spike is talking about:

1 e2-e4 e7-e6 (long form)

as opposed to:

1 e4 e6 (short form)
