hear me out- if there are 3 more violent bumps, white's king is forced off the board! Ferb, I think I know what we're doing today! Be careful - the board might not always be bumped in the same direction, and Black's king looks a lot more precarious... Wait, are we playing off of that board, or the ...

Hello all! Last year I graduated with a degree in music performance, with concentrations on composition and trumpet performance. In the last year, I've struggled at times to find motivation to write in my time away from work and away from like-minded creative minds. I have a simple request that wil...

We need the bongcloud, Ferdy.

Too bad I'm on the opposing team.

I certainly wasn't expecting all this when I came back to the thread. Anyway,

All the people have joined, shall we start tomorrow?

Sure. Are we playing with the touch-move rule?

Since we aren't playing with physical pieces I don't think the touch move rule makes sense here.

These are the results from the random team generator.

Team white: Wattsthematter, JustAGuyNamedWill, Ferdack, Spartaculous
Team black: Diplomacy&Warfare, DrFidelis, Pengwinja, kingofthepirates

One more needed. Spartaculous are you playing this round?

Previous results: Game 1: 0-1 Rules: 1. Six to eight players, randomly split in two teams, will take turns for each move, without a strict rotation in each team. 2. Open to all skill levels, the only requirements are knowledge of how the pieces move and standard notation. 3. Players may draw as long...

Good game, would be happy to do another one of these.

I think I would play another round as well; I would defer to someone else to do the signups and setup.

I'd be happy to set up a new game.
