According Blackjack, there are a select few from tl.net who are \"very good\" chess players. I\'m here for such that of a selection.

I played BW fanatically for seven years (I\'m sure most of you remember me), and quit playing last year. Chess is where I\'ve been ever since (likewise during the BW era, but not quite as assiduously and intensely). If there is anyone intellectually capable of putting up a decent fight for the unfortunate futility bound by the fate of opposition, I\'m a 1900+ on Yahoo. I play every day. It\'d be wonderful to find some good chess competition from BW players; so far no good.

AIM: l3randt
MSN: brandte222@hotmail.com
Yahoo chess: l3randt

-----

Apparently, my IP's been banned from this forum. This says a lot about the chess players here, including the administrative idiot who did the deed on these forums. But what's said even more about the chess players are the games. The only person who played a good game is ChoboCop, but I just found out he was using a program--which I honestly suspected considering his incessantly defensive and unperceivably cautious moves both games. Anyhow, here's some information you dunce jack-asses seem to want to know:

1.) I don't have a program and I've been playing chess since I was seven. I've played online for only two years and only used Yahoo (where the competition--even if such are programs--is far better than the 'lack of' found here), because Yahoo can be played from anywhere and the platform wasn't firewalled at my old job.

2.) Whatever low-life it was who searched me on Google and came across "my xanga" (which I used to use for friends I know in person, and in regard, every post has had an "inner circle" reference and is entirely satirical), it's http://www.xanga.com/l3randt , idiots-inept-to-search-engines. Feel free to visit, as dipshits that I don't know can't leave comments, furthermore, I sign on every few months. I even just made a MySpace this week for my friends (though, my ex actually made it in December so I could listen to songs she uploaded on hers) which anyone with a pulse could figure how to find that just as well.

3.) I've done nothing but subtly criticize you nescient morons with every successive reply I've made on this post... which you fools seem to take to a laughably sincere degree.

4.) I'll still play any one of you that I haven't played. My AIM and MSN is in this post. You can even have my e-mail: neo27bee@hotmail.com.

5.) I know how to play chess, along with excelling in what seems to be endless mental attributes that surely none of you possess. On top of that... actually, I don't want to put any more on top of that just to depress any of you further--I'm actually a nice guy who doesn't care to brag. The only thing that gives the impression is the fact that I'm on the internet surrounded by low-lives and no-lives who thrive on ridiculing what they don't have. So, toodles.

Ok, we can try.
I have no FIDE raiting, but local (Bulgarian) 2100.
I played Bereg.ru - now closed, and now I play playchess.com.
Really don't like Yahoo! because of the ugly board, bad timing and lag.
If you want we can play few yahoo games - my handle there is dagoeba.
What about the time control? I think max is 5/0.

Edit: Define "very good"? You played in any sort of local team, league, etc?
Here's my last tournament :
http://www.geocities.com/mitko74/starazagora/samarskozname.htm
If you don't see shit (cyrillic), I am on 15 place with 6/9, starting number - 34.

If you don't remember me then you simply don't know me and probably never 2v2'ed competitively in WGT or PGT or played NW's. However, I'm not here to discuss memories or impressions. Just looking for a challenge from those with the same video game background (i.e. BW, for those of you who seem to miss "points") as myself.

One Page Memory, mdb, and Slayer91: certainly. Any of you have AIM or MSN? I don't play speed chess though. That isn't chess and defeats the purposes of chess; inevitably creating a poorer player due to the negation of calculations by the acumen of the best moves. If you're a blitzer, I'm sorry, but you're probably not worth my time; albeit, I will play you. Ten minutes is usually enough, but I could compromise down to seven. Five minutes just isn't a long enough time for a good game.

Looking forward to playing any of you. Honestly, I'd love to be beaten by a BW player.

The problem is that people are naturally suspicious of players playing games longer than 5 minutes, because the opponents can cheat using computers. Not saying taht you do, it's just that people sometimes get that impression when they get beaten.

I personally enjoy a nice 15-20 minutes per side for a game, because you actually ahve time to think, though I realize that cheating is a problem (but even then, you learn from your mistakes). I'm not that good myself, but if you're willing to go over the game after you beat me, I'll be willing to give it a shot.

You hack.

Yup, goldrush is absolutely right. Main reason to not play long games is computer assistance.
On a side note any experienced player (I include myself here) will spot very easily such an attempt. Too bad one can use help only from time to time - i.e. not to make blunders, look out for openings, etc.. Other way is not to play the best moves given by the engine. Still I can tell with more than 95 % certainty if I play against human or program.
With that said I am ready for nice, hack free games with any control between 10 and 20 minutes per game.
I don't have/need MSN or AIM (even don't know what AIM means), but have ICQ and Skype.
Also its good to share our own games - its good to know opponents level.
If any interested - PM.

Blitz games can be very strong, with 2300+ elo players if they are sharp they can play 1 minute better than most 1900s, and i've always hated playing long games online, I prefer a real board for long games. Try playing some tournys, here, all september to may there are weekend tounys 1 hour:45 or 1hour:30 per side with 5-6 games.
But to each his own.
