Please join the Facebook group at “Taipei Chess Club” for the latest information. The goal of the club is to play all different varieties of chess. (Western Chess, Xiangqi, Shogi)
You can also join the site “Red Hot Pawn” to play correspondence chess with members of the club. http://www.redhotpawn.com/
Sounds fun. But unfortunately, the last time I played chess here in Taipei, I accidentally incinerated Bob Hicks with a burning fire of flaming Blitz inferno flame. Difficult to control, really. My speed chess is so fast that Einsteinian principles get involved, antimatter is created, and things go all boomy.
What time do you finish?
Working until 8 might hamper my ability to get there.
I am an expert at drinking chess. 3 minutes a side, only the winner can drink. I only last a few games though and then I fall apart.

3 Minutes a side? Do you have Parkinson’s disease or something?

No. I have another condition. It is called dipsomania.

Besting him at chess is another matter entirely, though.[/quote]
Really?
I’ll be brave and put a thousand NT on it. Loser donates a thousand NT to a round at the Formosa BBQ?
You in… Gotta bring a chess board.
EDIT
Can’t back down now but if Choan is in, and you are coming to the BBQ PM me ad let’s do it for fun. One game as black and one as white. Limited time maybe 20 minutes a side?

I think that you misunderstood my post. Go back and read it again. If you still wish to donate 1000$ to me for beating Chaon, then your wish is my command.

Oh, for the love of GOD! I think I shall retreat now to the profound discourse of my “friends” on Facebook.
LOL
I just read what I posted and the beer is talking. I meant I’ll play him for a 1000 not Mr Jimi Hendrix/Elvis Presley. Just for fun though including the fun that comes from a thousand NT worth of Tequila.
We finished tonight at around 10 P.M. I would suggest getting there before 9 P.M. if you want to get a game in.
Today was a good meeting. We had some new people and played some different games.
Come out and show me how good your speed chess is guys.

Thanks for the response.
I might do it at some point in time but I have my own school and we finish class at 8. The boss (wish I could sell the title) can’t leave directly after class, but I will try to make a game in the next few weeks.
K (Choan) killed me.
I will owe up to my bet but know this, I now have a reason to work on my game.
Thanks and I will be back.
Betelnut said he might be going away for a few days so I will see how things go and if I can make it next week, which is a good possibility, I might just donate me bet to the first part of the beer tab.
Don’t thank me.
Thank the master.
From what I gather from people, there may not be that many people who can come this coming Wednesday on the 25th.
Please join the Facebook group and post to it if you are coming so others know whether its a good idea to show up or not.
I may cancel this coming meeting if there aren’t enough people and start it again the next Wednesday, June 1st.

I really enjoyed my visit to the club about a week and a half ago even though my carelessness led to me getting me getting mated like a newbie in one game and throwing away another.
Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to make it back this week. But I hope to return soon.
