What speed do you prefer? 10 0? I just don't want it taking too long.

I'm slow. I need at least 15-0 or maybe 15-10 in order to be somewhat comfortable.

I'm on Chess.com as Absurd.
I enjoy Starcraft when I'm not too busy being dynamic and attractive.

15 10 would be good. Though I guess it might end up taking ages.

I'm on chess.com as strelok. I've played chess since 5, (12 years). Studied in the St. Petersburg dvorec pionerov (Castle of the Pioneers) - where Spasskiy, Smyslov, Karpov & Kasparov studied. Although right now I'm not active at all, so my performance kinda sucks. Top ICC rating ~2200 at one point. But I'd be more than happy to play with some TL.net members, and perhaps get owned =)

The puzzles are fun, but pretty easy


For serious tactics training I would recommend chess.emrald.net. The difficulty ranges between super easy and very obvious one-move puzzles to very difficult problems with several moves. In my opinion by far the best site to train your tactical awareness.

There have been two chess tourneys in the past on tl.net, both organized by The_Spike if I remember correctly. While the first was really good (OnePageMemory and SR17 battling it out in a nice final), the second tourney was unfortunately never finished, partly because both tourneys were played out in single-elimination and bo4 mode - which resulted in a lot of 2:2 games and people waiting for their next opponent.

A traditional round robin with 5/0 timemode sounds great, hopefully people will find time to play their games.

Do you have a Chess.com account?

I play Chess often.
It's mostly on Facebook though.
Chess tourney, you say?

You can count me in.
Sounds worth registering for.
What time(s) do you play?
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

I'll try to work out the times after I know enough people are willing to play. What's your Chess.com account?
And the above was a haiku? So it isn't anymore?
Everyone, I think you'll find it more enjoyable to play on live chess: http://www.chess.com/livechess/myhome.html
Watch out, though - the server is kind of laggy, so you may get screwed on time.

I used to play on live, but I prefer just the standard online now.. You can play 100 games at a time, without running out of time

ALSO it's easier to do tournaments on standard online, you can even host your own o.O

i cancelled my account on chess.com. IMO it is completely unsatisfactory to play blitz games due to lag. In nearly all of my games it took up to 4 seconds until the opponent's time started to decrease after a move and even with premove i still get deduced at least 0.5 seconds per move.

...but it's free... If you're worried about time, stick to long games. By the way, I play 1 0 games just fine on that site. You know, the server lag affects your opponent as well, and it actually helps in faster games because it gives you more time to think.

For a free site they're offering a great service, no doubt about that. But as mainly a blitz player lag is very annoying to deal with, and it's nothing i'm used to from other services.
