Well, the games have begun, but we've currently got an uneven number of
players. We can work around this, but I wanted to see if anyone else
would like to join?

Go on, you know you want to have a few games of chess ;) :)

Real Life has been getting in the way of late.. Still very interested in
getting this going though...

I was thinking, two weeks for each person to complete a game, points based?

Would everyone be able to either add their email addresses to the wiki
page, or watch it, so that we don't keep an OT discussion running around
the main list? :)

I can setup a mailing list just for this if you want.. (Or, if we ask
really nicely, I wager so can a few others on this list :)  )

A mailing list would be a good idea, or even just a list of names on the
Wiki that we could add to a contact group, and then cc them all when
sending an email about it?

In any case I agree that we shouldn't invade the list
with an OT discussion (on the Greater London Linux User Group mailing
list there's an OT 'flame war' running about emacs  vi vs ed which has
1000 messages or something ridiculous like that.)

I'm not great at chess, but I think it would be a great idea. Chrss
looks like a good site, but can you actually see the chess board on the
site, or do you just have to visualise it from the moves you get from
the RSS feed?

I'm not brilliant either ;-)

This is one of my games:
http://chrss.co.uk/game/1212

You can also get email alerts of new moves, if you prefer email to RSS.

All moves have to be made on the site, on the chessboard you can see
above :-)

Is there a similar service for Go with a Linux Go board?

Hiya,

I'd be interested in having a go. It's been a while since I last played
though.

 Johnathon
Whilst avoiding the typical notion that all geeks love Chess.  I'd be
interested in a couple of games.  There is no reason we couldn't use the
Chess that ships with Gnome using GGZ servers.  I think a
mini-tournament might be a good idea!

Suggesting a list of names:
