Revision as of 09:23, 15 January 2006

This is sort of user lounge where editors can take a break to play a game of chess.

Important: Before you make a move, please check for vandalism.

Basic Information

The current format for invoking a board is:

{| style="float: right; margin-right: 1em;"
| {{Chess position|=

 8 |rd|nd|bd|qd|kd|bd|nd|rd|=
 7 |pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|  |pd|pd|=
 6 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |=
 5 |  |  |  |  |  |pd|  |  |=
 4 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |=
 3 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |=
 2 |pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|=
 1 |rl|nl|bl|ql|kl|bl|nl|rl|=
    a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h

|30}}
|}

And change pieces as needed. Piece names are in the following format, the first letter, on what type of unit it is, and the second letter its colour. For the first letter, "r" specifies a rook, "b" a bishop, "n" a knight, "k" a king, "q" for queen and "p" for pawn. "l" specifies white for the second letter, and "d" black.

Current games

In most of the games on this page, the players are not identified on this page. I think it would be a good idea for the players to voluntarily identify themselves with their Wikipedia member User names above and below each game "board" in a manner similar to many of the games in the Wikipedia:Chess championship. Those players who want to remain anonymous can omit their names, but I think most would want to add their User names. H Padleckas 08:29, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but it's a colloborative game, and as such, it would get immensely crowded to list all participants in each game. -- Natalinasmpf 08:35, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So, who's allowed and/or who's not allowed to play each of these games? Can I just pick a game anywhere on this page and make a move? H Padleckas 14:30, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, anybody can join any game unless specific players are designated. Also you cannot play for both sides. Eric119 05:02, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Calvin Random Chess

Since this is a sandbox project, I thought we could have a little bit of nonsense. In this game, anyone can make any move they like, as long as they have a good reason for doing so.

The way to win is by killing all your enemy's kings.

Don't forget, anyone can make any move they like, as long as they have a good reason for doing so. Have fun.

And the one and only rule; The way to win is by killing all your enemy's kings.

White Black

1. Board Rotation ... King v King
2. White king retreats behind pawn ... (actually part of move 4)
3. All pieces duplicated ... Time travel
4. (actually part of move 2) ... Black king sends 2 pawns for fish and chips.
5. White pawns create union, leave on strike ... 2 black pawns gain promotion.
6. White decides to develop the land, and builds another castle/rook ... Kings swap places with pawns for private meeting.
7. White unleshes trump, Rook A8(and replication partner C8) revealed to be spies. Hold Queen at B8 hostage. ... Black Queen takes cyanide pill.
8. White side bored, Kings play tiddlywinks with bishops ... Black recruits former white pawns.
9. Rook spies detonate bomb belts, kill all surrounding ... Pawn e4 captures bishop and king en passant.
10. Queen f6 and Bishop f3 berserk, X-Slash! ... Pawn b1 captures black knight and white queen en passant.
11. Furious sacrifice! Rook trio wipes perimeter! ... Black invokes system restore.
12. Whoah! Deja-vu. White pass. ... Black pawns arrive with pizza!
13. Kings and Queens hold dancing contest. Pizza eaten. ... Some Black knights and pawns join in.
14. Busted! Bishops pull back leaders ... Black side shrugs and keeps on dancing. More pieces join in.
15. White gets to work and kills black pawns. ... No one notices captured pawns. Rooks take dance floor.
16. Blacks are dancing so much they don't notice the Whites moving in to surround them. ... King captures pawn at e3. Problem solved.
17. Evil gods rearrange the pieces in the shape of a heart. Both Black and White lose a turn.
18. Pawns try to create gray army, unable to do so. Secret pawn bishop prays to God for earthquake ... All rooks fall down, Knights run off to escape danger, one black bishop killed by a rock that fell from a crumbling rook.

Reasons for moves.

I think rotating the board would be a good idea. --Mark J 17:29, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I always thought it would be better if the leaders just slugged it out. (Note: Kings are wusses, cannot hurt each other enough for checkmate.)Mikecb 04:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
White king is a wuss (as usual). Ashibaka tock 21:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

White was greedy and took two turns without first letting black make a move, so we had to make up for the lost move somehow. (17:30, 3 January 2006) ArphaxadHunter
The black king realized that he was very hungry. (Some time between 12:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC) and whatever time LittleBrother made white's preemptive third move.) ArphaxadHunter
As we all know when your job is just to be used as a sacrifice to further your ruler's plans for little to no pay, you start getting upity. (10:22, 4 January 2006) Guest
Well, I noticed they were on the 8th file, so technically they are entitled to a promotion. But the pawn in column D goes off to follow his dream and become a plumber. (16:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
Land is more valuable once it's developed, right? —Typhlosion 16:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Err... Well, why not? Anyways, it would take one king out of check. (16:53, 4 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
Somebody had to have a spy in enemy territory, else it ain't a war. "One wrong move and she get's it!" (10:59, 4 January 2006) Guest

You'd be bored too. (11:19, 4 January 2006) Guest
Well, where else do you expect an army of disgruntled pawns to go? It's a two-party system. And besides, it's a good way to hide the true purpose of the meeting between the two black kings (to play a game of checkers). (22:03, 4 January 2006 (Central Time)) ArphaxadHunter
As with any revealed spie, if you're surrounded by the enemy you kill yourself so they don't get the information you have.(10:13, 5 January 2006) Guest
Well, the pawns were in rebellion against the king, after all. And now I bet all the other pawns are furious that this pawn beat them to the job. (16:35, 5 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
After the loss of their husband/friend the f column bishop and queen would become angry. Angry enough to use the Chrono Trigger Dual Tech X-Slash? Just maybe. (10:43, 5 January 2006) NeonWarrior
"That knight was giving me a funny look." (16:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
The rooks became furious over the mistreatment of their queen and using their friend as a battering ram captured the enemy perimeter before dying of exauhstion. (10:53, 5 January 2006) NeonWarrior
The black king was a lamer who couldn't deal with being behind. (16:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
White got a real bad sense of deja-vu and did nothing for the turn to have time to think. (11:05, 5 January 2006) NeonWarrior
But didn't I order fish and chips? (17:08, 5 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
How long do you expect a Speciality Knight's Head and P(r)awn Pizza to last around here? --Mark J 22:29, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Knights and Pawns like to party, too! (16:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
Had to get the king out of check some how and in war you dont fraternize with the enemy. (10:20, 6 January 2006) NeonWarrior
Partying is fun. Who wouldn't want to join in? (16:25, 6 January 2006 (UTC)) ArphaxadHunter
They finally noticed the pawns in their territory. . .a little late though. (10:30, 6 January 2006) NeonWarrior
You should see what a rook can do on the dance floor. ArphaxadHunter 16:39, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
stupid black pieces! Don't they realise they're putting themselves at the mercy of White's Surround 'n' Kill tactics? --Mark J 16:56, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Stupid white pieces. Don't they realize that the only piece that posed even a remote threat to the King was a measly little pawn? ArphaxadHunter 02:48, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
LoL where is teh <3 --70.25.168.90 04:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Pawns realized they were getting the short end of the stick, so they tried to create a new army, the gray army, made entierly of pawns. When this couldn't happen, the pawn who is secretly a bishop prayed for an earthquake, and one came. Rooks (Castles) were devistated by the moving land, Knights (horses) ran off after sensing the impending danger, and one black bishop who was standing too close to a castle was killed by a falling rock.Dr. B 02:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pending Move (3). Wish to have white carry out c2-c4. Would the other player playing white agree? -- Natalinasmpf 20:45, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Would you consider Na4 for white a good move? -- Natalinasmpf 23:28, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Move 6:Dispute - I dispute move 6, I would prefer Nc5 instead. Branch?: Possibly branch the two moves if this can't be resolved. Either way the knight is lost. Current move leads to bxa4. Prefered move leads to Bxc5.

Branch from move 4? -- Natalinasmpf 17:29, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

created branch SC3-A White pawn move to e5 please?

Something seems to be wrong in this game. I can't follow the moves starting with move 8 and white's Queen is missing. H Padleckas 06:46, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Branch from move 4? -- Natalinasmpf 17:29, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Created branch from move 4 of SC3.

8. ... d3
Just a move to do something interesting; that's all. H Padleckas 10:28, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My queen-side pawn diagonal is working out nicely so far. H Padleckas 02:46, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does seem like a thorn in White's side. By the way, I was playing this game snippet on my board here at home, and found a few knight ambiguities (which I fixed). We seem to be the only two messing with this page at the moment. Bjimba 04:29, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

13. Nd4 -- Reckless abandon. Bjimba 03:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

17. Qxd5 -- Time to pull that thorn. Bjimba 18:11, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

18. ...Nxd4... the attack doesn't seem to have any bullets. Time to simplify and see what the two bishops can do. Matt Yeager 04:50, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The move 18. ... Nxd4 has its own set of complications. H Padleckas 01:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

20. ... RxP/d4 would have allowed 21. Bb2 skewering the two black rooks by the white bishop. H Padleckas 09:35, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping no one would notice. <grin> Bjimba 14:04, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start off with e4. Linuxbeak 03:13, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

For move six, was that some sort of crazy gambit? -- Natalinasmpf 02:39, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If it was some "official" gambit, I don't know what it's called. Linuxbeak 03:18, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

There hasn't been a move in a while. Would someone please join black and make a move? Linuxbeak 21:44, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. White's turn again. H Padleckas 04:32, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just made a white move. Only move of worth on the board from what I could see. 81.153.161.199 06:27, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This move is better. White's turn. H Padleckas 01:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

White's turn Matt Yeager 04:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid 25. ... a3 wasted a valuable pawn, but there was no quick killer move which black could have made to dramatically start an attack. Move 25 and the next couple of moves should have been spent slowly maneuvering for better position, but then ... easy for me to armchair quarterback. Anyway, black remains a vulnerable knight minus a pawn ahead in material.

How exactly does this work? I would start with e4. Goyanks193

Take a look at the other games. Basically put the notation below. There are many principles for working on this flexible template (which I just spent 4 hours porting it for the Game of Go, but you can infer, right? ;-) -- Natalinasmpf 02:11, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting flank, there. -- Natalinasmpf 17:15, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I love the Sokolsky, and it provides me with good results normally. Falphin 18:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Generally, I've found that the best way to counter a Polish is with simple, solid central play. --The Anachronism 21:20, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I prefer the English opening because I can flank and use central play of the opponent as a weakness. ;-) -- Natalinasmpf
- The idea is suprise, the Orangutan is one of the least known about chess openings thats sound. The English is good too but I prefer 1.b4 or 1.Nf3 Falphin 22:29, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - Never did like using the knight as an opening, only reluctantly for defensive tactics - it constricts the ability of my pawns to move forward. -- Natalinasmpf 18:54, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    - Well I play the KIA, and eventually play f4(My knight doesn't stay their that long). I've only lost two tournament games with it. Falphin 19:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I really wanted to take with the knight but their seems to be too many problems down that pathFalphin 01:08, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Request for Branch, I played a daring move I want to try so I was wondering if we could have a branch game from this move Falphin 15:34, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Branch created. -- Natalinasmpf 16:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Bah, I saw that coming, but apparently Anachronism didn't :D. -- Natalinasmpf 18:43, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oops. Didn't know what I was thinking, requesting revert. -- Natalinasmpf 21:27, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok I suppose, otherwise the game would be over. Falphin 23:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

For white's move 21. -- not much choice here. 21. Ke2 loses the king's rook by skewer; only other alternative is for the queen to block by 21. Qd1 . Seksinfo 03:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For white's move 22. -- no choice at all here. Seksinfo 09:11, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone up for bughouse? MYT 21:00, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. Elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (Be eudaimonic!) 05:48, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fischer Random Chess

Might as well try some variants. I'm thinking of Bughouse chess, but that would need two boards, perhaps we can try that as well. But for now, its Fischer Random Chess. It rocks. (Fischer bughouse, anyone?) -- Natalinasmpf 20:24, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Bughouse would be cool. Maybe after I'm done with my current game of chess. :) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 19:05, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'll choose a position based on this generator. [1] It isn't standardised, so I will try to look for one that conforms with PGN format.

Bughouse doesn't really work without clocks. --jacobolus (t) 22:10, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This where time limits come in, isn't it? (Albeit a bit longer than the tournament's.) -- Natalinasmpf 22:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New game. I'll start off as black for this one. Remove this when white makes a move. Again, I can't use a PGN-compatible generator as I haven't found one yet, but I'll use the same site, position 367. [2] -- Natalinasmpf 23:33, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, any takers for white? -- Natalinasmpf 09:50, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll play you. -- Hmwordock53 18:32:49, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Aren't the pieces a little goofed up? -- Hmwordock53 19:43, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Well it is Fischer Random Chess, so the back position row is randomised, with key principles retained (king between two rooks, bishops on different coloured squares, etc.) -- Natalinasmpf 22:15, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That looked like a minor oversight - do you want to revert your move? -- Natalinasmpf 14:54, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I've been gone for a while, I've been bussy at work. -- Hmwordock53 04:14, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

There's a new board out! Just type chess board2 instead of chess

position and pow!

Template:Chess board2

Ok, mabe its not the best, but at least then begginers will be able to remember which pieces are which.

Do you mean pawn instead of pon??? Or am I missing some insider joke??? -Hmib 04:07, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably used as a shorter, more phonetical spelling of the word 'pawn' -- MacAddct1984 05:05, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it is just to sort of abreviate because pawn would be too long to fit in that space and still be able to read --Hmwordock53 14:14, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

I like the traditional board much better. I like visualizing the pieces better. I like the previous colors better. Pictures of the pieces can be understood worldwide better than the letter code based on the English language. Also, there is not enough contrast between the dark squares and the symbols to easily and rapidly make them out. sorry. H Padleckas 07:39, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think that instead of 'pon' for 'pawn', a better three letter word might be 'pwn' or simply 'pn'. Perhaps you could give all peces better acronims, such as 'bsh' 'rk' 'kng' ect.1 black hand °T°

Haha. You said pwn. 216.158.31.195 14:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)-->

A simple 'p' would do. -Hmib 02:52, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I suggest you use whatever standard is used by FIDE as Wikipedia is a World resource. 207.179.122.218 15:41, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I guess you guys are right, it's sort of a waist of space. I guess the template and all of the images should be put on the vfd list. -- Hmwordock53 04:24, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Absolutely no need -- the templates are used to illustrate chess articles. (Or do you mean the second template? It could be useful, but if not, we could delete it yeah.) — Sverdrup 23:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It is so much better to have visually recognisable shapes than letters when trying to picture up to 24 objects at once. The letters idea is just a non-starter. jazborocketman

Might be good for the Calvin Chess game, but I just moved so somebody else has to do that one :) LittleBrother 15:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
