    i've recently became privy to the gentleman's sport that is chess.

    i've been watching classic matches and analysis all night. obviously, you begin with Fischer v. Spassky Game 6. QUEEN'S GAMIT DENIED.

    From there, one can move to the SLAV DEFENSE 2012 where Aronian mercilessly dispatches Giri with sheer brilliance. Beyond that, once must consider the classic Ivanchuck Sacrificial Attack!



    ITT we appreciate great chess and talk about chess. Also let's play chess! JCC CHESS LEAGUE GUYS

    You mean one JCCer's chess program pitted against another JCCer's chess program?

    NO, SIR.

    chess is a gentleman's sport and shall be played as such. with nothing short of one's honour and total value as a human being on the line, we shall pit one user against another in an honest convergence of wits and competition of heart and mind on the great gridiron.

    True, the integrity of the sport must be maintained. I propose no algorithms until 7 or fewer pieces remain, at which point chess has been completely solved so there's no reason to waste time by continuing.

    Hell, give it 40 years and we probably won't have to bother playing past the first five moves.

    I like watching these too.

    One of my favorites:



    I also find the games between Kasparov and Deep Blue interesting. Actually I find analysis of how computers play vs how humans play to be interesting in general.

    Yeah but he also said "I have recently became" and "queen's gamit", so.

    Have you ever noticed how some people play chess for years, read books and talk about it constantly without ever getting the slightest bit better at the game?

    That's me

    I learned to play chess when I was 10 years old, but then I forgot. I thank my father for making the effort though.

    Yoooooooooo I love chess. I'm on chess.com everyday playing a few of my friends. I'm down to play anyone. I'm not very good, but who gives a bloop.

    Interesting chess fact: Grand Master Flash is not as good at Chess as his title suggests.

    Well yeah, he's dead. Pretty sure no-showing is an automatic forfeit.

    I like chess, but I don't play it very nearly enough. I don't know why- oh, look, opponent found for Hearthstone!
