Ok all, been struggling with health issues, but did get one additional chess puzzle, here is a link to the initial game, where the level 8 computer is playing black. Can you win as white? https://lichess.org/editor/8/p4pk1/2p4p/3N1Pp1/2P3Pb/1P1Q3P/q7/3K4_w_-_-_0_1 Hopefully this link works, but I can tweak it till it works like the others.

Ok, so also from my best friends games last week, this was another winning position that was not recognized as such. Black is on the offensive, but all three of blacks front line pieces are under attack. Can you, playing the black side, go 'forward unto victory' without loosing your queen? https://lichess.org/editor/r4rk1/p4ppp/8/4q3/3P1nP1/5PK1/PP2b2P/R1B1R3_b_-_-_0_1 Have fun! 🙂

My best friend played a series of games last week, and lost most of them, but in going over a few of his games, I came across a trio that I turned into studies, two of which I think are rather good. I've already got one posted over on discord, and a few folks have had a chance to play with it a bit, but I didn't really get to watch someone work their way through all 8 levels of the computer AI playing against them, so I don't yet know just how useful the study is going to be, and keep in mind this is the very first one I have ever done, so hopefully, all others will be done better.

Hi everyone, I'm not the boss of anything at all, but I am willing, health permitting, to work on things to help our chess club grow and attract players of skill all levels. In my own chess playing endeavors, I was introduced to the Lichess.org website several years before I discovered clan OverDosed, and at the time an old army buddy got me setup there, I created an account, VoidStalker666, and played him a few times (3), and then started playing against the various computer AI's on their site, but that really isn't my thing. I could beat the lowest level AI more often than not , but have n

I'm not feeling up to playing several hours of chess today, let alone trying to run a tourney, but that being said, I'll be around for at lest part of today/tonight, working on something chess related. Hope to see everyone there.

My health has been on a sort of roller coaster, going up and down, but I did wander over to the Lichess.org website and discovered my best friend and arch rival had been playing himself some chess... I took it upon myself to make some studies from his games, and because he has not signed off on this project (I just had a chance to talk to him and tell him to check his email), I won't use the private studies I made, but instead will be focused on making actual "Play from here" setups, that I hope to be able to make into clan chess challenges, to help folks learn how to take a posted

I'm wondering if anyone even knows about this portion of the clan, will post this URL on the Discord, and hope for some other members to join me, perhaps on a nightly basis? Or more likely once a week type of thing?

Lol, a well deserved pat on the back, sir! Your play was excellent, as the results show. Well done 🙂

Another tourney sound like fun! I'll be there.

Hey everybody, I've had a great time or too working with my fellow clan members to solve puzzles as a group, and would like to invite folks to join me in channel whenever they want to work on their puzzles.

I may or may not be able to play in this one, I have company coming over to help me with my new refrigerator/freezer, and that delivery window goes from 3-7pm.

Had a fun time playing! Looking forward to more time spent with collaborative puzzle solving, where there is no pressure to win, no agony of defeat, but just a good time solving those dang puzzles! 🙂 Maybe we can have folks arranged in order, starting with those with the lowest score in puzzle solving (and thus most in need of help) going up to those with the highest (that still need and want help), and figure out some system to getting together and working the puzzles in a round robin kinda way, where we take turns sharing our screens in discord while on the Lichess website

Sounds good, and count me in.

As I understand it, this Saturday a 4 ET, or 3 CT, we are going for a second tourney. I'm looking for some games (short playing times during the week, so just one opponent a night) between now and then, but please offer a challenge sometime between 4pm and 4am via the forum if possible, so I can see it and get things set up on my end. This thread looks as good a place as any for potential games Thursday or Friday. Any interest and time for this....????
