Chess Talk (Canada) vs Space Chess (Germany)

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs Space Chess (Germany)

Seems like our opening was just toooooo intimidating - they collapsed. Let's have the whole team go for a beer ( pop for Alex F?? ).

Bob

A Pepsi will do for me as well. The beer will have to wait a few years (unless the drinking age in Canada is 18 or under).

Cheers!

...........
No, wait. Wrong country :).

The Space Chess Forum has replied saying that they don't wish to continue the game. If we want to finish it, they give up. Too bad, it would've been quite interesting.

Alex

Thanks for trying.
So, is it a win by resignation?

Hi everybody,
I personally have very bad feelings about this game. At some point in this game, the things went very badly ... in wrong directions and right now we are looking ... strangly ??

I asked them if they would like to finish this game. So far, I haven't recieved a response.

Hi Alex:

Note from my immediately prior post, that Alex Toolsie once posted:

" I only handle the games involving OzChess. However, on SpaceChess my username is Arrogant-One and password is 96015661. Feel free to use that account. "

Don't know if this may help.

Bob

I've tried out several times in the past and .... I haven't been able to log in.

Hi Bob,

What happend is that the German was using Alex's account to check our moves. He must have forgotten to check. Then the Admin. made his own account on Chestalk. I'll ask them about reviving the game once I get back from the Labour Day Open. I'll use Alex's account. All of Germany's games have been forgotten. I'll see what I can do.

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs Space Chess (Germany) - CT 4th Move - Never Transmitted

Hi Alex:

I was wrong - I checked the thread and the German admin did on one occasion deliver the German move to us:

April 14th, 2009, 07:16 AM
Jens Hirneise

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs Space Chess (Germany)

SpaceChess moves 3...cxd4
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4

Please check our website as well... otherwise we will need much more time!

http://www.spacechess.de/showthread.php?t=2035

After this there was our voting and the majority voted for 4.Nxd4. But on May 9, Caesar checked their website, and found that our fourth move had never been transmitted to them by either Jens nor Alex Toolsie. I then asked if a moderator would transmit our move to them.

On June 11, Caesar said that Alex had previously posted as follows: " I only handle the games involving OzChess. However, on SpaceChess my username is Arrogant-One and password is 96015661. Feel free to use that account. "

Then there was nothing after that.

I'll do it. (if it's not too late)

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs Space Chess (Germany)

Perhaps there is a chance to resume that game if we have a moderator? Any candidates for that function in our match ... ?

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs Space Chess (Germany)

Their Moderator didn't quit. When they got no response from us, their entire forum dropped the game. Just like us.
