Nah, this is enough. I’ll tag you in that thread. Same for you Buckemenico.

Now we have two new members, it’s good too get a game in:
Buckemenico , could you find member 0ryanfrancis, press the chess board and set up a challenge? Then when that gets accepted you’re off and running!

Keen to see if there's still any activity here - I'm not particularly good, but I do play most days.

Good game mate. Thanks for the invite.

We'll have a new chess ladder up next year - would be great to see you involved in that. We also hold our "chess AFL" which will coincide with the AFL season.

Also, we will hold a match against another club at the start of next year and you'd be welcome on the team. We are currently unbeaten!

Any questions, reach out to anyone in the club - and hope you enjoy it!

I’d be happy to get involved.

Hello, I'm going to treat this as a general chess discussion thread since I can't find one.

What's an acceptable/normal win% disparity between white and black pieces? I go 59/35/6 with white and 50/44/6 with black (W%/L%/D%).

Is that gap worth changing my strategy with black? I try to play Kings Indian/Pirc Defence, but feel like I suck at it.

I think at our level that’s fine. The bigger point is whether you enjoy the games you play as black (I play similar but have had my fair share of games where I think I’m behind quite early on!). If you’d rather be more open it’s worth changing and seeing if you enjoy it more.

Super rusty not played in 20 years, still trying to figure out quickly where the best squares for the pieces are. If we cant win an AFL premiership hope we can win a Bigfooty Chess premiership, show our boys some leadership and encourage them to stay mentally fit in these testing times.

Anyone want a 5 Min game?
