I'm always up for a game of Chess. I'm not particularly great, but it is fun and I enjoy playing. Also, Magic: the Gathering. I know goldbludgeon plays. We had a conversation about it here, but other than that, I know of no one on Hubski who plays.

I'm a chess and MTG guy myself. I suck at both. Although my magic game has stepped up. I need to play more chess.

If you have Chess with Friends (iDevice and Android app) or Chess.com, I'm always up for a game.

I've got a chess.com account. I'll have to get back into it, I constantly forget my log in.

If you ever want to play, just PM me and we can work out the details. It'll be a bit harder for me to find time to do a nonstop game. The people I am playing with right now are all in games with me with many days to play a move.

I prefer playing that way myself, works better with my lack of a schedule.

My chess with friends name is fangolo. I'm always up for a game with anyone.

Pardon?

Demure and I are in the midst of a game of which the outcome isn't looking too great for me right now... But it is a long term game, we weren't rallying back and forth quickly.

I've never won a game of Chess. Is there a way we could play a game together online sometime? I'd love to do it.

Chess.com or Chess with friends (iDevice/Android app). Both are free. PM me whichever you chose and I'll reply with my username on whichever you tell me. They are different. Also, they both require emails, so if you're not okay with giving an email, if you can find another way to play, I would be happy to find time to play.

Would it be okay if we play in two hours? Assuming you're still free then. It seems rushed, but I have nothing else to do, and I think it would be fun : )

I'll be asleep... Even then, what medium were you thinking? Chess.com and CWF are both turn based but you don't have to both be online to play at the same time. It is set up as to where it is on a timer of some number of days and you make a move within those days and it goes to the next person. It works pretty well in my opinion.

Oh, alright. How about Chess.com? I can make an account (if I need to) and then whenever we can both play together, it'll be all ready. I'm not feeling the multiple-day idea.

c_hawkthorne  ·  3371 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Sounds like a plan. Whenever you want to play, just shoot me a PM. I actually have to sign off now, but I look forward to playing Chess sometime with you!

Sure thing, man.
