Last I checked, this was OpenStudy...? LOL Well, chess is educational...I guess... When is the creation of OpenChess? ^_^
I'd like to teach/mentor I already started teaching Hay tactics
really hays is getting good?
it is userful becasue many people on os is a chess players
@EclipsedStar basiclly, for what ambassador section is made>?
-The thing is this site is meant for homework help -I wouldn't implement this onto the site it would distract users and keep them from helping users who need help. -Users procrastinate enough we dont need more -OpenSTUDY not OpenGAMES
LOL
chess is a education as well
I'm working on it Dan :P
I challenge, dan he's a joke
lol haahah
stop pooja its a closed form, only ppl that want to be tagged will be tagged if u dont want ot be a part of it just delete your comment and u wont get an notification
pooja obey
design section is also not for studying
and nobody says anything bad about it
I have to agree with Pooja here...this is a site for school work though. Plus there are way too many people that will get distracted from their actual work...a lot of users come here for school purposes. Btw design is actually a school class
lol that's not how it works dan :P This post is irrelevant to the feedback section why not just pm users who want to be apart of what this is ? Design section can be useful for showing art work :)
@dan815 add astro to our list
i did
we can't pm all opesntudy
I am using 1 closed form until our section is formed
how is this breaking down OS right now
2/10 ill buy into those ods
mira, it is already closed lol
many ppl say someone cant be done when ur on the verge of something beautiful
But we persevere, and for those of us who do, we will see our fruit.
I agree with dan, I think this is pretty cool and chess is a game for Scholars haha, I support this post! :) And if people are interested in this, I don't see it hurting anyone. It's a closed post, I don't see any reason for anyone to spam this other than using it as joining as a member and then messaging each other to play a game. Cool idea.
yea only 3 people dont agree with it
all os agree with it exept for ambi and mods lol
It's not having a section for chess, just one post not a big deal
yay yes
yeah
I never said I didn't agree... :P

REMINDER to everybody who wants to have a tournament with us tomorow: if you don't have an account on lichess.org, please make it so it will be possible to play.
@dan815 add @rvc to the list.
chess is a game which is good for your brains so it should not matter And its far better than Those STD games
Tournament: time: 40+20 sec tournament time: 150 mins type: classical long game
Rules for new ones: Is it rated? This tournament is rated and will affect your rating. How are scores calculated? A win has a base score of 2 points, a draw: 1 point, and a loss is worth no points. If you win two games consecutively you will start a double point streak, known as a Streak Starter. The following games will continue to be worth Double Points until you fail to win a game. That is, a win will be worth 4 points, a draw: 2 points, and a loss will remain worth no points. For example, two wins followed by a draw will be worth 6 points: 2 + 2 + (2 x 1) Arena Berserk When a player clicks the Berserk button at the beginning of the game, they lose half of their clock time, but the win is worth one extra tournament point. Going Berserk in time controls with an increment also cancels the increment. (1+2 is an exception, it gives 1+0) Berserk is not available for games with zero initial time (0+1, 0+2). Berserk only grants an extra point if you play at least 7 moves in the game. How is the winner decided? The player(s) with the most points at the conclusion of the tournament's set time limit will be announced winner(s). How does the pairing work? At the beginning of the tournament, players are paired based on their rating. As soon as you finish a game, return to the tournament lobby: you will then be paired with a player close to your ranking. This ensures minimum wait time, however you may not face all other players in the tournament. Play fast and return to the lobby to play more games and win more points. How does it end? The tournament has a countdown clock. When it reaches zero, the tournament rankings are frozen, and the winner is announced. Games in progress must be finished, however they don't count for the tournament. Other important rules. You are required to make your first move within 20 seconds of your turn. Failing to make a move in this time will forfeit the game to your opponent. Drawing the game within the first 10 moves of play will earn neither player any points.
