    Since I just realized that UPSB has a chess game for members, I need to find some friendly competition. Does anyone want to play passively, or on a scheduled rotation? I fucking love chess and I can only hope someone else here does, too. Maybe we could even develop a group? There's a Taylor Swift one, so I think that a chess one isn't asking for too much. (mods, please move if this belongs elsewhere)

    Definitely up for it. I'd even be willing to make this the official chess topic for now, to discuss anything. :)

    Don't worry. We can discuss relative skill later. Besides, the only way to get better is to play a better opponent. :p

    I'm glad I found my chest partner. Now for a chess partner though. Currently rated 1740 KNSB [Dutch]. :P

    @Frip Hey, I'm rather jealous that I--as a droid user/proponent--cannot use Chess with Friends yet. :(

    @Chobi Would y'all be down to use a third party .exe? The game moves would be sent via email. That way, we could reply when we had the time, and not necessarily need a point in time to sit down and play.

    So do you mean that the games may not be played "live". But everytime a player logs on, they may move a piece until the next player logs on? o_O Sorry if I misunderstood.

    I think that this may be the best move for all of us.
