| ccmcacollister 12/18/2005 17:26:14 [ report this post ] | I play CHESSANYTIME.COM Message: Niks used: Ktun, tempusfugit, BaronDerKilt, or DamianS. For me, ratings tend to vary according to time controls I play at the time. ************************************* [10+5] = 2100ish, [3+2sec] = 2000ish, [3min] to [1+3secs] = 1900's, [2min] to [1+1sec] = 1800ish, [1+0] = 1700's *********** Over at the Chessanytime FICS they do have Tournament set-ups from 3 minute games up to 10min.+5 second games. Including straight 5 minute games. And they can accomodate from 4 up to 6 or 8 players in such sections. The slower TC's are for 4 players and the faster ones may take more than that. It is probably my favorite place to blitz. ... I think it would be great to see 4 or more GK players get together at a certain time there and play a tourney sometimes. I'd like to do that if anyone else is interested. {What you think Jeff ... how bout a 10+5 quad ?} ... For instance, would Sundays a good time for anyone besides me? EG Is 3:00pm GK time good for anyone else? ... Or what time(s) would be good for anyone else ? My schedule can be pretty flexible. Even just getting a group from GK to show up at a particular period, for informal play could be a good time. If we know each others' Niks there . ... }8-) Craig A.C. |

| roland_l 12/28/2005 00:25:05 [ report this post ] | I don't ... Message: GK is a fantastic correspondence site. The more I play FICS, the more i like it though (for real time chess). I rarely have to wait, there's a great range of players, and plenty of players willing to play good longer time control games. |
| bucklehead 12/28/2005 07:57:36 [ report this post ] | Yahoo is a waste of time... Message: On the other hand, richfeet , understand that turn-based correspondence chess is a different animal than real-time chess--make the most of your time and come up with some really beautiful moves! |
