If perhaps there is actually another Starcraft player inherently good enough at chess to beat this one, I'll still be playing often for the next two months.
Me, but not on Yahoo! for obvious reasons. Playchess.com is very good IMHO, but I can install ICC if you insist.

I'd sooner smash a chessboard over your head than play you on one after having seen the posts you made here.

I'm going to mail Kramnik my Broodwar CD, you cock.
NeotheAKA, just shut up. Back up your claims with the game scores; if not, why the hell should we believe you?
One Page Memory, if you ever manage to plan a game against the idiot (somehow, I doubt it); he's gonna dodge against everyone with a decent rating), PM me with the time/chess server you'll be playing on. I'll try my best to watch.

Best thing I've read on this website...ever.
I laughed so hard that I actually vomited a little bit in my mouth...a little bit.
id love to play this guy 1900+ yahoo, he claims, fucking hilarious
first off, anyone saying they are 1900+ usually means they just reached 1900 and finally can call themselves "1900+". 1900 is nothing to brag about on any server, least of all YAHOO. Yahoo is far and wide known to be the weakest of all the online chess servers. a 1900 at yahoo is probably equivalent to a 1700 at FICS or ICC.
Yahoo chess is a joke. There might be a few actual decent players that play there, but most have probably long fled to the real chess servers out there. Yahoo has tons of abuse; they have no timestamp, people can abandon games they are losing and get no penalty for it, not even a loss! Every other decent server has measures in place to prevent that, saving adjourned games, etc. There is rampant computer cheating there and nothing in place to curb it or stop it in any way whatsoever.
P.S. anyone who refuses to play low time controls, (such as 5 min games online) is either a really old man, a fish, or a computer cheater. I am not saying that every good player has to be able to play fast games online, but refusing to do so is suspect of foul play. That is WHY grandmasters and other titled players play so many fast games online, BECAUSE you dont have enough time to let a computer make the moves and transcribe them into the console.
Black always makes a move symmetric to whites move. (if 1. d4 then 1. ... d5, if 2. Sc3 then 2. ... Sc6, if 3. Lf4 then 3. ... Lf5 and so on) How many moves does white need to mate black?

I managed six. Can it be done faster? It seems too slow :-(.

It is slow in fact. I found 2 solutions with 4 moves. + Show Spoiler +
1. c2-c4 c7-c6 2. Qd1-a4 Qd8-a5 3. Qa4-c6 Qa5-c3 4. Qc6:c8 X Other solution - use your mind!
Edit: Ok, I am sure this is the most edited opinion for this year! Here is an upgraded variant of this puzzle: Still both sides makes symmetrical moves. White must force mate to their own king. How many moves needed? Also its interesting to solve the original problem with all the pieces. Here is what I found for the mate with the mighty Rook: + Show Spoiler +
I'm undefeated against TL.net and B.net east competition. The best player I have found was wesjones86(aim) an east x17'er that doesn't post on tl.net. Kdog3682 and Frost(TE) are fun guys to play with. AIM: harshskills ICC: JBlaze NeoTheAKA is a complete jackass, he aim'd me to play and I told him to fuckoff. Shortly thereafter I got a different aim from someone asking me to play but they wouldn't tell me their tl.net handle. It was obviously Neo smurfing. Here is the game: [Event "ICC 20 0 u"] [Site "Internet Chess Club"] [Date "2006.07.27"] [Round "-"] [White "guest3451"] [Black "JBlaze"] [Result "0-1"] [ICCResult "White checkmated"] [BlackElo "1814"] [Opening "Scandinavian defense"] [ECO "B01"] [NIC "SD.03"] [Time "17:21:31"] [TimeControl "1200+0"]
