Since it's been a while and no one has offered to play me on the IRC, I figure there's no need for a live game since it's hard to organize with work schedules and time zones and other nonsense.
So, feel free to join my unlimited time game here - https://lichess.org/yreJI9in
First one to join gets to play me. I picked a random side.

I used to play a Chess custom map on Starcraft, where you could maybe see about 20% of the board at a time. :p
A computer is nothing compared to that madness.
wtf how did I miss SC chess? I must have been too busy playing Turret Defense/Goliath Defense/Diablo 2 in SC/BGH/The actual game/etc. Don't remember ever seeing a chess custom game.
Yeah man. Chess was legit, there was that one RPG that was super-fucking-legit, the custom games that would later inspire Warcraft 3 DOTA, and then actual DOTA. Kerrigan has Sex with Duke, that was a good one; no game, but a great little skit that plays out automatically.
There's the one that uses Starcraft shit to recreate the gif of World War 2 like it's a video game. Another great self-playing one. Diplomacy (not related to the board game, really) was also fun, and difficult.
Tons of others ones. I had so many custom maps.
Not enough to have found that bit, no.
I managed to beat another fellow named "RedArmy" as opposed to my obviously superior "TheRedArmy" though, so that was quite satisfying.
chess is the only game i need to play in person. i don't know if i need to see the other person's reactions to moves or if seeing the board physically in front of me helps me or what but i suck at chess on a computer. best of luck to you and your opponent.
