now this... great idea. someone make a turn based board game from a real-time game engine.
|
How about a one on one match with you, or anyone else?
Time control - max 5 mins. for a game on a playchess server.
Go?

Is there a limit on rating? Im a 2251 CM, if thats allowed, id love to join in.
For 1.e4 I vote we opt for a classical caro-kann, I have quite a few neat tricks in all the major variations and would feel very confident in using that. Alternatively, if we do really want something action packed, I do have blitz notes on the sicilian dragon (classical, yugoslav and variants).
For 1.d4 I would like to play a queen's indian or nimzo-indian (yes, im a boring guy obviously). Ive been coached by GM Larry Christiansen and GM Joel Benjamin in both, just because the structures are a lot of fun. Again, for the...blood inclined, we could go with a semi-slav. Ive studied up bigtime on the variations favored by both GM Anand and GM Kramnik.
anyway, hope im not too late.

You are welcome! But, this is voting chess, so not always your suggestions will be played (unless, of course, you can convince your teammates to play what you like to).

Oh btw, we might just use someone's blog for discussion, would be way easier than constantly pming everyone.
