You two aren't the only ones. I am one of those people who's never played in my life but I am willing to learn. At least show some effort. I haven't played yet but I've tried one practice game and I ABSOLUTELY suck! I don't have much time to practice while at work but when I'm home, I'm going to keep trying. Giving up before you even try... that's being a 'dead weight', imo. I know I won't get high ratings and because of that, I know there is no chance that I'll be captain, but that's fine with me. I'd rather someone more capable than I am be in charge so I don't screw up for everyone else.

 

[Erzengel]

I think if you guys just sign up and don't necessarily play, you are alright. If you don't sign up you will be booted.

I concur...at least put forth a little effort to learn. What's the big deal? Its not like you're being asked to go out and physically do something.

 

[Holly]

im in the Deep Fritz room

 

[X-Chick]

i think i'm disqualified

That's the spirit!
I don't even know what the heck those pieces are. I assume the crown is the King and you've to protect the king, I guess? I also noticed that the horse or knight, rather, is quite... powerful... it can move in more than one direction not like the... pawn. Still don't know what significance of the bishop and the rook. Even the queen and how I can move those pieces. Stupid work!

 

[X-Chick]

how is that people have never played chess? it's like been around for ages and is more common than monopoly or card games.

To be honest, I'd rather be asked to go out and do something rather than play chess. But that is besides the point. This is our challenge so just... DO IT! At the end of the challenge, you can pat yourself in the back for learning something new. Even if you find out you suck at it. The key is to try and keep on trying until you are sick of it and accept that you suck no matter how hard you try. And then you move on to something else. Like knitting.

No interest and no reason to try. Just because it's there, doesn't mean you have to play it.

 

[Erzengel]

Hint for people, don't have a time limit especially if you are playing from work and have to excuse yourself every so often.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I know there is a saying in chess that goes "Hoof the Rook" i heard it in a movie, so i just keep saying it in my head as I shove the pieces around
