Autistic Chess Club

SpikeyMark

,  and myself () started Autistic Chess Club last week. Today we had out first game and it was quite fun.

If you want to join, all you have to do is have an account on Chess.com (it's anonymous) and put your username for it here, then befriend the users that you see in this thread. When they next log into Chess.com they will add you back.

So far we have:

  • Oran G. Utan = "TamOBanter" (Profile Pic: same Oranutan)
  • Moonshadow = "Moonshadow1969" (Profile Pic: a dog)
  • Mark (Spikey) = "Mark-Spyke" (Profile Pic: same as here)
  • Huzzah! = "GeneralDroideka" (Profile Pic: General Droideka from Star Wars)

Rules (these rules are just a joke, and are ripped off from Fight Club)

  1. You do not talk about Autistic Chess Club.
  2. You do NOT talk about Autistic Chess Club.
  3. If someone resigns or goes limp, taps out, the match is over.
  4. Only two people to a match.
  5. One match at a time.
  6. You must wear shirts and shoes.
  7. Matches will go on as long as they have to.
  8. If this is your first time at Autistic Chess Club, you have to play

[I have just seen that there was already an Autistic Chess Club several years ago. Anyone from way back then is welcome too.

FINALLY: Today was probably my 6th ever game in my life. I am no good and not very likely to play much myself, but I thought it a good idea to get members together elsewhere anonymously too.

    I_Sperg = "I Sperg" (Profile Pic: A grey/white chess piece)

    Moonshadow - How does the group work - do I still need to befriend I Sperg, or is it automatic now?

  • in reply to SpikeyMark

    No its not automatic, you will still have to add him as a friend for him to be in your friends list.   I'm not sure of all the setting for the group yet.  I think eventually we could set up some kind of league in the group and play daily games in which you only have to do one move a day. It can sometimes take a couple of weeks to finish a game  but it would probably work well for us as we are not always online at the same time.

    that sounds like a good idea. My patience is terrible for chess, but maybe I could think a little with a move a day. That's not to say we can't have normal matches if we happen to spot each other, and I can do my must move within 2 seconds approach still.
