Buer Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hey fellow thinkers, You don't have to be on the forums for much to realize the incredible intelligence and acuteness of most of its members. The simple fact of having signed up here means you are the critical 1%. To tickle your brains, sometimes more so than when debating, I would like to institute a small chess club. Of course free of charge, anyone (from newbies to grand masters) will be able to interact in this alternative incredible form. I've been personally a self taught player for about two years now with over 20 days of playing time (28336 minutes and counting). Anyone feel free to comment down below and if we get enough interest I will start setting everything up. PS.

EuanM Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Sounds like a great idea to me. I'm assuming it would all be done digitally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buer Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Sounds like a great idea to me. I'm assuming it would all be done digitally? Indeed I've been using lichess which is in my opinion the best (free) chess platform, chess.com is constipated with ads and so on. Lichess.org is fully free, available in app and incredibly functional. I just made a group, whomever just sign up and apply through this link: https://en.lichess.org/team/philosophic-chess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buer Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Where did you get that stat from? 20 days of playing time? added my chess.com + lichess.org + FICS stats. I only recently started using almost exclusively lichess.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rventurelli Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Heh, added you! If you're online now we can have a quick game. Whenever you are ready. Nonetheless I must say that you will probably find no challenge on me, since I am a decent player at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
