How about a game of chess?

You think you're pretty fucking smart huh? Well I don't. I think you're a ninny.

Welcome to the wonderful world of chess.

There's a neat site right here:
Don't use adblocking otherwise they'll ban your account.

It's not real time so you don't have to put any focus in until you're good and ready.

Sign up for an account and compete to win bragging rights or simply to move phallic shaped objects across the board.

I'll make a list of people who feel like playing to break up the monotony of the work day.

You can thank Argus for the detailed user list.

    Sometimes not playing is the only way to not fail.

    What was that chess game type that allowed you to move as quick and often as you wanted and you're opponent could do the same?

    I seem to remember another version where 4 people went head to head on the same board.

    That's actually a pretty fun minigame.

    So, naturally, it's devoted to an encounter on a weekly timer.

    Sadly, the event is hardly relevant any more since it's not a level 80 zone. :(

    Don't even need to look at the picture. Fuck that instance with a piledriver. So glad I don't have to do it anymore. Chess itself was kinda fun though.

    The game of chess, is like a swordfight
    You must think first, before you move

    Toad style is immensely strong, and immune to nearly any weapon
    When it's properly used, it's almost invincible

    Sorry, I wound up being pulled away from the computer and didn't get a chance to come back until now. I hope I didn't keep you waiting at all.

    Hello, other people who have signed up! I am challenging you!

    Nah, I went home and played some SF2HD Remix. I'll probably be a little more active during the week then on the week end.

    But that's the great part about this. You don't need to invest a lot of time into it. Games are played at a very leisurely pace.

    I've actually had a bit of a hard time getting my head into the game, since there can be hours or days between each move. The analyze option is making that a bit easier and I'm starting to get into it but it definitely has a learning curve.

    But now that I'm getting more used to it I like it quite a bit. :)
