Revision 13388142 of "Wikipedia talk:Sandbox/Chess" on enwiki

modeled after sandbox/hangman

Thanks for the board, i just didn't know how to do that

just a side comment, forgive me for mixing up a lot of things like switching boards and all, and omitting notation when I made them before...gah, editing two edits (though different sections) of the same page can really confuse the wiki software, I guess. -- [[User:Natalinasmpf|Natalinasmpf]] 22:47, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== spacing and organisation ==

Trying to have the notation in a nice neat and orderly manner with equal spacing so that the borders look even. However, it seems Wikipedia does not recognise multiple spaces easily. I would use "& n b s p", except it would be horrible to edit. Any solutions? -- [[User:Natalinasmpf|Natalinasmpf]] 00:18, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

sorry i just barely started on wikis a couple days ago...its like [[Wikitine]] to me.

sorry about the reverts

== multiple players on one game ==

I'm interested in participating in Game 2, but just how would the procedure be carried out for 2 or more players? Should the policy be, you can use any move (as a colloborative thing), just as long as you stick to one side? What are the rules for this? -- [[User:Natalinasmpf|Natalinasmpf]] 18:23, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ya just stick to one side is fine...objections can be voiced and voted on by request -- [[User:SDSUPinoy|SDSUPinoy]]

== New game? ==

I would like to play...how do I do this? --[[User:1 black hand|^~^Morgan^~^]] 23:01, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'll set you up a game. -- [[User:SDSUPinoy|SDSUPinoy]]

Thank you --[[User:1 black hand|^~^Morgan^~^]] 23:01, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== rules and procedures ==

Would someone happen to write about how to participate in this in the introduction section of the page? Rules (as in match rules, not the rules of chess), participation guidelines, etc. I'm actually not sure how things are supposed to proceed (well as in the bare minimum) and the guidelines for colloboration, et al. myself. -- [[User:Natalinasmpf|Natalinasmpf]] 07:01, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

ill get to the rules of participation tomorrow but the jist of it is that if there is in action by a party for more than 24 hrs then the seat is available for play by other parties.

Basically its Wikichess...anyone can make any move as long as you stick to one side per game.  Also, people can voice objections to a move and it can be reverted given enough votes.  Dissenting votes may switch sides.  Ill add more tomorrow morning.

== What to do with completed games? ==

Well, I've been anticipating this for quite a while now, thats why I created the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox/Chess/List of Completed Games]] page, but I have questions how to proceed.

Should I move all the completed games right away? (To help with page length as the page will start to fill up if we don't move them somewhere) Or should I let them stay? Or should I let a remnant stay with a link?

Or maybe just recent games? Or what about in the future, dramatic ones? Also thinking about in depth analyses? Ie. since the game is completed, I can reveal my thoughts for each move, as well as the rest of the players, and post comments, or maybe other analytical "here white makes an aggressive flank against black's left" type of comments from Wikipedians that wasn't involved?. Also the possibility of creating a new game from a certain fixed position, though, so the references should be there. -- [[User:Natalinasmpf|Natalinasmpf]] 19:02, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

we should just move the completed games notation and notes over and allow for Branching from a certain position.  Obviously, the losing color would have first oportunity to choose the first branch.  On the completed games page there should be a section for commentary and analysis.

== How bout' the First Wikipedia Chess Championship? ==

How bout' organising a championship? We let ...say... 32 people sign up for a chess championship. They are paired up and each pair gets to play a game (in their on userspace) and report the winner. Then the winning 16 would play, etc? It wouldn't be too hard to do. The only thing is that we need a standard way to play chess on a wiki, but that should be solvable using tables of some sort, or in the worst case just use chess notation? What does everyone think? [[User:Gkhan|Gkhan]] 15:52, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good start up a sign up page and link it. [[User:SDSUPinoy|SDSUPinoy]]

I'm on it! [[User:Linuxbeak|Linuxbeak]] 17:20, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
