Chess at WaterColor, anyone???

[Smiling JOe]

JDogg, Jim Horton, and I are looking to try and start a Chess Game Day each week at Cerulean's in WaterColor. Every Tuesday, maybe around 4:30 or 5:00pm. Just a little something different to do. Anyone else willing to participate? Please let me know so that we can get it started. If there are not enough Chess players, I would still think it would be fun to have a generic game day, where people bring different games for us to play. Anyone???

[katie blue]

Wow, now there's a funn idea, I'd do that for sure when I'm down. Not too great a chess player but I can hold my own in scrabble and backgammon.

Hey, if not a lot of people show one day, maybe you could bring your laptops and play some of us online Online Scrabble is fun, I've done that once or twice at games.com..

Well I don't live there and can't participate, but if I did live there and could participate, I would recommend Texas Hold 'Em.

I don't know how to play chess but I play a mean game of dominoes.

I'd be a mess at chess. Can I watch?

[dbuck]

Can't play chess, but I can play bridge. I'm a champ at computer solitaire.

miss k i will bring the game trouble with the popping bubble and we will drive the chess players crazy with all the noise.

Oh I love that game! What about Hungry Hippos? Kittay you'd love that game too!

If you need an organizer, let me know. Bdarg and I started a chess club at Will's elementary school. I know, shocking, my name and chess mentioned together. Actually, I don't play, but I can get y'all some cute matching chess t-shirts if you want an official "look".

[goofer44]

Hearts is a fun game and easy to learn. I'd be up for that.

[Mermaid]

I'm in, but you'll have to wait until October!

[sunshine]

Hearts is one of my favorite games. My husband enjoys it too - whenever I throw him the queen, he gets to call me B***H!

[30gAy]

People, people................HELLO! NAKED TWISTER!

[ktschris]

30gAy....I had to look at your tar TWICE to make sure it wasn't what I thought it was!!! Thanks for the laugh!!

Since this thread is going way down hill anyway (I cannot believe you guys don't play chess), ktchris, if that is what you thought it was, 30gAy needs to go visit that E.D. thread.

I think naked twister is going to be popular with this group.

[goofer44]

How do you play? I am uninitiated but not afraid to ask. Must be a deep south game.

:oops: Sorry SJ, didn't mean to drag your post down, I was just scrolling and had to do a double take, that's all.

BTW, I do play chess. We have tournaments every year when we go skiing. If I was anywhere close to 30A, I'd love to play you in a match. Maybe next June?

[Jdarg]

It looks like you may have enough players- then after one or two afternoons and lots of people happening by and word of mouth, you will end up with quite a group I'm sure!

Will that turn into "shirts and skins" like in basketball? While we are talking about taking off clothes...I used to play strip darts with my exhusband. It's like strip poker, but I had a better chance at winning.

So far, I have four people signed up, and yes, that is enough to start. We would like to have a few more people for more challenges, but maybe they will come with time. Tentatively, we are getting together at Cerulean's around 4:30pm on Tuesday and will go from there. So if you have a game and a friend to bring, bring it on.

I notice that you have these games tied in with cocktail hour. I guarantee chess will be a big hit. Will winners or losers buy drinks?

As I mentioned, I am going for something a little different. I will probably be drinking hot tea, but to each his or her own.

Might stop by. It's been years for me but used to love to play so I'll try to stop by and size up the competition to see if I would drag anybody down.

[laurawood]

sounds funn, if im not at work i will be there. lp

[Smiling JOe]

We had our first Chess Match today at Cerulean's in WaterColor. It was great and we expect to grow a little bit. For anyone wanting to join us, we are making it a regular thing on Tuesdays from 4:30pm - around 6:30pm. All levels welcome. If you don't play Chess, bring a friend and another game to play and it can become Game Day Tuesdays.

[danhall]

What a great place for scholarly competition. I enjoyed the matches and the frosty Newcastles. I know SJ will want some revenge next week....

Seriously, i had a blast. I can't wait for more challengers....good games at a beautiful location. a perfect afternoon...

[Smiling JOe]

You are darn tootin, Dan. Take me to your leader, the King, at once. Off with his head! Thanks for playing Dan. Rob Roy showed up shortly after you left and he and J Dogg were still playing when I left.

[Miss Kitty]

...loved this report and the pic! So glad y'all had funn!

[kathydwells]

Checkmate!!! Great picture, SJ.

[Smiling JOe]

Reminder, another afternoon of Chess this coming Tuesday, starting at 4:30pm, at Cerulean's in WaterColor. Cerulean's offers beer, wine, tea, coffee, pastries, etc. They also have wireless internet. All levels welcome, but if you are a newby, you may want to learn the rules and moves prior to coming to play. You can do just that as well as better your skills at Yahoo Games.

Hope to see you there. When you show up, just introduce yourself if you don't know us.

[Chickpea]

You start at 4:30?????? What about us poor souls who have to WORK!!!!

Have actually never played chess although I would love to learn BUT I play a mean game of backgammon so if the Tuesday game thing takes off, I will show up with a backgammon board and hope that someone will play with me - any takers???

What? You don't think we work too? You just have to massage your schedule slightly. Should we try bumping it back to 5pm?

For those who are curious, Cerulean's also has backgammon tables. I spoke with the fine peeps who run Cerulean's and they mentioned getting more games in there to make game day Tuesdays a packed house event. so bring your game, what ever it may be, or learn some moves, and join us in Chess. Starting this upcoming Tuesday, we are bumping the times back slightly to 5:00pm start time. However, you may come whenever you are able.
