This made me laugh IRL.

You have an interesting sense of humor that I do not understand, Mr. Jayhawk.

They're probably scared of the young people.

Sierepica_Fuzzywalker 2022-04-30 19:14:31 UTC #3431

If the kids are brave and skilled enough to face down the adults in chess club, they usually win, I've noticed. Probably because the adults get cocky and fail to esteem the abilities of the young.

IDK. The wording caught me off guard. :0)

Beat a CM in clean 3 minute play on first try today.

@Abigail_Eggsong beat me in a really solid game today. It demostrates the importance of setting up a good early mid-game position, finding good pawn-breaks, and endgame calculation.

Ah, man. Too bad you're on the same team for this weekend...

Abigail_Eggsong 2022-06-01 23:01:29 UTC #3437

@Hans_Oddcraft, that was a very challenging, well-played game on both parts. Of the hard games I have played and won: that one is in my top ten. _{_{(For now anyway.)}}

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-06-02 13:02:28 UTC #3438

I'm getting there!

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-06-04 14:35:52 UTC #3439

Finally!

@Jayhawk_Greencape
I left you a message on chess.com.

Jacoby_Elderfun1 2022-06-05 22:07:28 UTC #3441

@Jayhawk_Greencape & @Hans_Oddcraft
Are you joining the chess tournament for the ACL?

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-06-05 22:08:08 UTC #3442

Sure? I'm coming...

Beckendorf_Direscope 2022-06-10 01:32:18 UTC #3443

Hey there, everybody,

I hope that everyone's summer is off to a great start, and now that people (hopefully) have some more time on their hands, they might be interested in another chess tourney! Now that the Aetherlight Challenge League is over, we could keep the spirit of competition rolling with more chess contests!

Please respond via the forums or Chess.com if you'd be interested in joining an unrated 3-day time-control daily tournament! The dates are TBD, but after June 18th.

If you know any Aethasians who have a chess account that aren't in this club, please invite them! If you are not a member, click this link
[https://www.chess.com/club/the-aethasian-chess-league/join/f5fe3c] to join the Aethasian Chess league!

I'll see what I can do. :0)

Sierepica_Fuzzywalker 2022-06-10 01:59:28 UTC #3445

Count me in, as usual.

Christopher_Puddlevest1 2022-06-10 02:09:37 UTC #3446

Same here @Beckendorf_Direscope

Jacoby_Elderfun1 2022-06-10 18:01:18 UTC #3447

I would be down, but only if we could finish by the 26th. I'm leaving for camp then and wouldn't want to keep it hanging.
