Chess

[Infinite Citadel]

When we did the chess tournament a while ago, I realized we have quite a few chess fans. I've been trying to figure out how to embed a chess game into the forums but ultimately couldn't do it/it was too much work.

So I'm going to settle for the next best thing: http://www.knightsradiant.pw/chess/

This embeds an open source website (lichess.org) and does the job.

I can also create 16 player brackets if we want to hold tournaments on the fly: http://www.knightsradiant.pw/tournament/

Let me know what you guys think!

Use this thread for posting URLs if you want to play someone from the forums (or use Slack/IRC idc).

Interesting and kind of fun to beat up the bots, although some of the bots play really weird.

Is it us v each other or us v bots?

 

[japan77]

both, you can play a bot or wait for someone to show up.

I would love to play in a bracket against the Loser Truthwatchers

I would agree to play you, but A. I lack the time, B. I'm rusty AF(I can't manage to beat the third bot, which has a lower rating than my peak rating, in fact the 4th one does too), and C. I haven't played against a real person of any quantifiable skill in 5 years.

I'm really shit at chess. But I'm currently playing the level 1 bot because I have nothing to do.

Who wants to play against a dip from BK? (former AOFA if it counts for anything , but I'd rather see myself as a friend of KR's)

Also I'd be down for a tournament, but I'm no chess expert

I'm interested but it seems like a bunch of random players is there a way to see if there is anyone from knights radiant on there specifically? And then play them? Maybe make a Knights Radiant Team? I couldn't find one would that even help though?

We should hold a chess tournament (if it's even possible) and the winner gets their orders flag in game.
