Any pokemon fans who play chess?

I’m currently 723 ELO (Yes I suck) , and I was wondering if any of you Pokemon lovers also enjoyed playing chess? Idk if this should be put in another thread, but oh well.

Also maybe a pokemon chess tournament? Anyone?

I play, there are quite a few good players in the forum (I believe one even has a 2,000 rating).

I play a little but I can guarantee that I’m worse than most people in this forum, I just play what I see fit, but I always get destroyed anytime someone is using a playbook

I wonder who! I plan on playing until I get to play titled players (though I’m playing 2 CM’s in a daily match)

An E4 chess tournament would be fun. I wouldnt know how to stop people from using an engine if they made that decision, but it would be fun.

I’m not incredible (like 1300 on chess. com), but I’d be willing to do an E4 tournament

Yes! I started playing about a year or two ago. Username is the same as here. My current highest rating is 1923 in bullet. Chess is extremely difficult and addicting! :chess_pawn:

I’ve never seen @c0ll3ct0r and Magnus in the same room?

I made an account a week or so ago to learn but only did the quick little tutorial. After I saw this I logged back in to find my username and somehow ended up in a 10 min death match with a random person. Kicking myself for missing that ‘fork’ :sweat_smile:.

I can see how this can be addicting. My name is flurb-mgurb but don’t expect anything from me competition wise.

chess.com will ban pretty quick if they catch it (its actually pretty obvious most of the time, the only way to really hide it is if you’re already pretty good at chess)

When I get into something I really get into it! :sweat_smile:

We could probably do 2l1 bullet increment, but that would shorten the range of people as bullet is super fast and not many people can keep up.

I’d like to think common decency would prevent that. A lot of good people on these forums!

I agree! If you want to play chess with me at any point, my chess.com username is Vertemes

Yes, but I am also not really good. My highest ELO was a little bit under 1,100, but since then I never focused that much and my ELO went down to around 850.

Username on chess.com is gstiess92.

I play as well (~1400 blitz) and would be up for a tournament.

Everyone should play 1.e4 or get banned

I kinda wish I stuck to Chess, but I switched to YGO. I was like around 1200 rating level and played in a few chess tournaments in elementary school and in chess club when I was 7 years old, but my cousin was around 1600 and 1 year older than me and always destroyed me. I became a sore loser and played competitive YGO instead xD. I think my cousin is around 2200 right now, but he stopped playing competitive chess for med school. Yep I get cooked by family asian comparison every meet up :skull:
