28. Ottobre 2004, 10:55:09  HOME fellowship needs a player for cylinder chess so we can join the team tournement. Just ONE player! There must be someone who wants to join the tournament?! 15. Luglio 2004, 23:58:36 Chessmaster, its in pretty bad taste to post that right after I start a prize tourney.
I won't read it or pay any attention to the moves. If I lose, I'll do so honestly. Thats the fun of the game. Following someone elses formula to win is no fun at all. I would hope the other players in the tourney do the same. 15. Luglio 2004, 21:41:29 Well there we go. The tournament started less than an hour ago and Mely has already scored a win against me. I was playing as black. I didn't even see it coming! LOL! 15. Luglio 2004, 09:05:28 LOL! It isn't that complicated in my eyes! I play terrible games. Many people here have won games against me when I have played as black. Playing as black is NOT an assured win (for me at least). Which immediately changes the SB scores. I honestly can't see that all 5? other entrants would win in exactly the same way, to achieve exact results.
I'll provide more prizes if necessary, within reason. But I doubt it will be necessary! I can't see there being more than 3 or 4 overall winners. I'll be starting this tournament later today. I'll be interested to see the results! 14. Luglio 2004, 21:52:01 I explained that. There will be one game of each colour per person. So if Chessmaster was to enter, he would play me as white, and as black. We'd have 2 games on the go. It makes it fair. 14. Luglio 2004, 20:26:12 Chessmaster, would you like to join the tourney? There are 6 people signed up, I'd like to start it soon :o) 14. Luglio 2004, 12:37:49 Chessmaster, I've done one game per colour. So when the tourney starts, for each person you will play one game as black and one as white.
PowerPygmie, you should be aware of that too. It means double the amount of games you'll need spaces for. 14. Luglio 2004, 08:49:10 Well, PowerPygmie, I don't think you'll find much of a challenge with me! I've lost a LOT more games than I've won! Both as black AND white! Shame on me! Ha ha! I like the game but I'm definitely no good at it! 14. Luglio 2004, 08:37:14 PowerPygmie, thanks for joining my tournament. I'm the last person to discourage anyone from joining, but just to make you aware, you are only allowed to join in one tournament at a time. You won't be allowed to join another until this one is finished, and there are some prize tournaments on offer.
Oh what the heck, I'll make mine a prize tourney, how's that?! 6 month knight membership to the winner! 13. Luglio 2004, 21:22:13 Try your hand at maharajah chess, this tourney will start as soon as 4 people have signed up! 24. Gennaio 2003, 14:44:13 Argomento: Re: Sure, but thats the challenge! Before you took his next-to-last pawn you should have made sure he had at least one square left to move to! 23. Gennaio 2003, 12:35:53 pdj... read server news on your front page, the rules have changed slightly so that white has to take EVERY black piece to win.
If black has one piece left but is unable to move because you are blocking him then its like stalemate and declared a draw. It makes things a bit more even for both players! 18. Gennaio 2003, 20:03:35 Argomento: Re: Rules - stalemate That could even things up a bit for the black player. It would certainly make it more difficult for the white player! 28. Dicembre 2002, 17:00:31 If a white pawn makes it to the other side (like THATS gonna happen!!) is it promoted as in normal chess? I'm sure it would be, but I cant see anything about it in the rules. 10. Dicembre 2002, 19:00:17 Argomento: Re: Ian... care to prove that on the board?! 10. Dicembre 2002, 15:41:07 Argomento: Re: Ha ha ha, point taken, I'm a really crap chess player!! LOL!!! But even a crap chess player needs a damn good player to lose when playing black in Maharajah!! But hey, no matter how bad I am, you've proved it can be done!! 7. Dicembre 2002, 11:10:30 I'd just like to give a public CONGRATULATIONS to rabbitoid, possibly the first player here to win Maharajah playing WHITE?
And yes, it was me he beat!! Nice one rabbitoid, I didn't think it could be done but you proved me wrong!!! 6. Dicembre 2002, 19:56:41 I'm finding this LOADS better now pawns can't promote! 2. Dicembre 2002, 18:14:32 To put it bluntly, either white needs more pieces or black should have less! 1. Dicembre 2002, 20:53:04 Argomento: Re: Fencer, I've always won when playing white, but right now I'm about to lose! The player kept shuffling the back pieces forward, so I never had a place to take a black piece without losing one of my own.
The end result, I have 2(?) pieces left, they have half a dozen pawns and a queen! Eek!! I'll let you know the outcome! But I'm not too confident about this game!! 1. Dicembre 2002, 18:38:30 This is GREAT!! Ha ha! Anyone want to play? I prefer to play white, but I'll accept any invite! (providing I'm not up to my limit on games!) |
