eric the espeon vs Sprinkles Saying good luck would be strange in a game without luck (other than kinda in the color choice).
Black Buddha vs Friar

Eo Ut Mortus vs Dogfish44
reachzero vs Zero
Curtains vs Purple Wobbuffet
Kakth vs Myriad
RB Golbat vs extra.

Also, just asking, do more people prefer white or black?

Edit:
I'd like a sub.

Won 5:0, no hax. gg. gogo smogon's newest splinter channel: #smogonchess

Edit: ok, was not expecting people to actually turn up and start playing there. Oh well, not a joke channel. Also, social lounge 7 on yahoo chess is ours.

Edit 2: Beat Kharozz and HD on yahoo live. Hate time pressure, was making snap choices at the end of the HD match, down to 18 seconds on the clock at times. ggs.
 
Me and Black Buddha have contacted each other and will be playing later in the week.

As I'm not a great chess player, Rey is tutoring me on the STRONG chaikovskikianital intro :P
 
I'm not sure if reachzero got my PM. I went to my sent items to confirm that I had sent it and I did. He's been active since I sent it so I don't know what's up.
 
alright, i pmed my opponent and we won't be able to do the match until the weekend, since my time zone and his means i'm either online at work or he's online at 5 in the morning. so i guess we'll do it on saturday if that's alright?
 
reachzero and I tried playing our game on Yahoo but it lagged so bad for the both of us that we quit 10 moves in. We're gonna rematch tomorrow hopefully, at another site.
 
Lost to xadow in 37 moves. We played with 20 minutes, but it was barely enough, as I ended up resigning with 1:36 left on the clock. He would've taken another 5-10 moves to beat me, just saying this so others can eyeball time limits correctly.

gg.
