@bleujay : Has that chess team been created already? :

I couldn't find any clear information about what happened with that idea ...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
THere are two chess teams actually, steemychess and chess dragoons, and they are both on lichess. Steemychess is an account as well, and we been arranging tournaments in cooperation with steemsports and chessmasters. This is not happening at the moment, because steemsports and chessmasters have been under attack from flagging trolls.
I just see your comment now. Maybe I will enter one of the teams, but I have accounts at FICS and chess.com already, so I wonder if I should use an additional third chess site ...
I think that nowadays clearly lichess is the best free chess server.
It seems that @mattclarke has had some success...yes still hoping the other one makes a go of it.
If you scroll down @mattclarkes site...perhaps 20 days back..he conducted a contest....whether he has a separate site for games...bleujay is not aware.
All the best.
Hey, just searched my name and found this. I just ran a single match, to see how it would go. Good fun, and a novel way of doing it, but it was quite a drain on my time each day.
I'm trying to get enough enthusiasm together to run a monopoly game along similar lines.
Thank you for your reply @mattclarke.
Monopoly sounds interesting and you may attract more players. However....Chess has class and requires skill....therefore adds to the richness of what Steemit has to offer. That is not to say we could not use a bit of e'spiriit de corp from time to time which your idea of Monopoly may just do.
All the best. Cheers.
