I've been playing a bit on http://www.chess.com/
I play almost exclusively "live chess" which are usually timed games live against other players.

Re: The CHESS directory
Chess is for people not talented enough to play Checkers. 
We play Pente, TwixT, and Mancala/Dakon. (We're sooo esoteric.
)
I should add: not online. Being in the presence of, and interacting with, an actual human(s) is so much better than staring at a computer screen.
Four emoticons in one post. That could be a first for me.

Re: The CHESS directory
I don't know how to play chess :C
"You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one;
I hope some day you will join us, and the world can live as one"
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
I believe that to truly love is the ultimate expression of the will to live.

Re: The CHESS directory
Speaking of Chess, what do people think of that Magnus Carlsen?
Number one at 19 never owned a chess board. Just played on his computer and got totally addicted. In his matches, he acts like he is not paying attention. He yawns, fidgets, and watches others play. It seems rude, to me. But the guy has way too amazing a mind.
Let's just hope he doesn't go mad like Bobby Fischer did. Most guys able to compute 20 moves ahead like Carlsen does seem to be driven to insanity eventually by the sheer numbers of possible moves.

Ok, but why did I add this signature? I was like 15 and thought I was smart? What a brat.

Re: The CHESS directory
I'm pretty sure I suck at chess, but I'll hop on sometime and let you know when I do.

Re: The CHESS directory
Clearly, go is a much better game than chess!
If anyone wants to play me on it I am "chrisd" on IGS. Haven't been on in a while, though.
