Chess?

Anyone want to play?

I vsed Hayaterocks a few times on chess cube and he mentioned a few people on atwar play it but like OMG nobody invited me

I moderate a somewhat large chess site that I (biased opinion follows) hold to be the greatest in the world. Its name is Lichess. It makes it very easy to play with anyone without needing browser plugins or any form of registration. Enjoy!

Also, we're a non-profit so please don't delete this post for advertising. We got featured in The Register once as well.

I'm The-Tactician on lichess if anyone wants to play (ps: i suck)

The great Yoba has spoken!!

Hayaterocks on lichess, I never realized this topic existed until now. such lol.

Anyways, funny story time... playing vs computer (on a different site) can lead to interesting results like this (btw I'm white):

1 e4 Nc6
2 Nf3 f5
At this point you're probably thinking the computer is faulty. So I tried playing this computer a few more times to see what's going on... and I keep getting these moves every time i do e4 and Nf3. Well, why not take the pawn? No point holding to the center in asymmetrical open game... or so I thought.
3 exf5 Kf7
Wut. King moving this early in the game. This computer noob.
4. Nh4 e5
Totally going out of the standard theory of keeping pieces in the center, figured a quick development of the queen to h5 would end this game fast.
5. Qh5+ Kf6
Called it.
6. d4 Nxd4
(if exd4 instead, game would've lasted a bit longer.)
7. Bg5#
Now I know why you never move the f pawn in the opening of any chess game.

Obviously n00b game, but still, I had to laugh at how funny this game was... f-pawn and King move on those early turns...
