Honor system, really. Besides, even if someone was cheating they'd only be robbing themselveves of the fun. An honest player would still enjoy a good game against them, regardless.

Okay, seriously, and I'm somewhat ashamed to admit this, although I love chess, I'm terrible at it. It's been suggested that I over-think, under-think, don't think, etc. when it comes to the game.

But, I'd be willing to play a match.

No reason to be ashamed, AM. If you're ever feeling embarrassed about your abilities, just come over to the thread where I'm playing Skybird and watch me get trounced for a bit

It doesn't have to be all about competition, just what you can learn from it. You and Fatty should have a match. Here's my last match against him, in which I got owned; http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...rsealcpl+fatty

You should play against him, now that you have intel on his playing style.

Nice to see chess resurface

. I'd like to play a game this time around, Fatty or Aramike? (or any one else).

Cheers Porphy

I'm up for a game if anyone wants one.
I'm lower-intermediate.
