ChessConquest - official discussion thread

Hi Lyt... welcome to the CQ forum ;)

ChessConquest offers turn based games (games aren't completed in one sitting). We did a market survey a while ago that indicated most players preferred this form of game-play.

Since we do however get the occasional request for blitz mode, it is still on our development task list. This feature will however only be available sometime in the future (won't be able to give an accurate ETA at this point).

Hi thanks, keep us updated on how the blitz mode is coming up.

Vaude asked me the other day, what is the longest game ever played on the ChessConquest? After a quick search of the database, it turned out that game 19522: More Dilip vs Raminrus, consisted of 102 moves.

Evidently the game also ended in a draw...

Ok I want to give this site a shot but so far I've issues 3 invites and nobody joins. How long does it usually take for some1 to respond?

On another note , the guy playing white is a complete patzer. White plays e3 after e4 and then Nc3, completely blocking the e4 and c4 squares which it needs to attack, exchanges good bishop for bad bishop and brings his queen out early.

Look for players with High or Very High move frequency, that is probably a good indicator of how regularly someone logs on.

Perhaps cool it with the derogatory remarks about how someone plays, there are a lot of players who are still learning, so try and be considerate of them as we'll.

You can't learn without proper training. I've challenged about 4 guys now but no one responds.

Of course you can learn without proper training, it will take longer but you will still learn.

Challenge me, I'll accept.

Believe me on this one, you can never be a strong player without a proper coach. I've been playing chess since I was in grade 1, and was a total patzer until about half a year ago. Started personal training with a GM . There are just some things you can never figure out on your own .

Accept the invite :)

I totally agree you may never be a great player, but many ( such as me) are not fortunate enough to have the time available to train with a GM, we just play for the pure enjoyment. Nothing wrong with that either ;)

I look forward to the chess lesson you are about to give me : D

Hehe, I will analyze the game once it's over and tell you all the positional/tactical mistakes I can find(as well as my own). Like now for instance you brought your queen out way too early, and trapped it . It will take extra pawn moves to get it out of there, which can wreck your structure and cost you material. sorry if im boring you with my crap lol.
 
Is fanard still active? Give him a go. He'll play you 10 games at once.

Other than that, don't challenge specific players. I for one won't accept because I already have too much on my plate and I suspect others might as well.
Rather create a new game, specify that you want a fast game by setting the move times / timeouts to 1 day or something like that and see who accepts.

Quite correct, it was a cheesy opening by me to test if you are not full of BS. In any event I'll enjoy the game and look forward to your technical analysis.

Great stuff. Always nice when more people joins the ChessConquest community (just don't hit us too hard).

I've been talking about upgrading ChessConquest for a long time now...and yes, we still do plan to eventually upgrade. One of our primary goals in the next version will be to reward active users and thereby stimulate a more active community. But I cannot give away too much at this time.

I've made a couple of patzer moves myself... it's usually those patzer moves I learn from the most ;)
