The Challenge was seen through. Webadict valiantly defended his title, and is uncontested victor.

It was fiercely fought, but there can be only one King of the Mafia. At the end of the bloody match, webadict, reigning King, stood in command of the field of battle. God Save the King!


The challengers met for the second game today, with the stoic Toaster as witness and arbiter. Book needed a victory if he would have hopes of continuing, and made an excellent start (if I say so myself), sacrificing a bishop to build an impressive Queen-side attack, bringing all his pieces to bear in what at times seemed an irresistible onslaught, but webadict defended methodically, solidly, without giving an inch.

As the situation started to resolve, Book stood with a center passed pawn against an uncastled King, and a couple of potentially winning combinations, but webadict continued to defend and threatened to infiltrate Book's sparsely defended home row. Book was forced to abandon his attack and exchange a rook for the safety of castling.

By this time, webadict had a respectable, but not yet decisive, material advantage. Unfortunately, Book's attack was now in shambles, and his clock was rapidly dwindling. He still made an effort to attack on the King-side, and prevented webadict's attempt at infiltration or capturing his promising passed pawn. But Book had gambled his clock away on the mid-game attack, and was now down to mere seconds without a clear defence.

With less than fifteen seconds on his clock, Book started to flail his pieces about without having a chance to think, and placed his Queen on exactly the wrong place, losing all possibility of resisting for the last ten or so seconds before he'd have lost anyway due to time. It was over.


Your Majesty, you are the winner. Zathras' soul is freed by your command, and I hereby become an unwavering fan of the Jersey Shore. Also:

webadict is, by far, the coolest person ever.
There is no way I could ever be cooler than webadict.



The second game is copied below. This was actually really good; up until the last ten or so moves (where my clock was more dead than alive) both players found excellent moves and produced them with precision and forethought. I recommend it.

I'm all for it, and for doing the B12 chess thing. Just post here (which could become the chess thread) or on the discussion thread when you'll be around, and if someone is for it, you'll find a game there. I can't right now, but if you create an account there and add me to your friends list, I'm sure we'll find a chance to play.

Just added you.

Is webadict just "webadict"?

I'm "Argembarger", o'course.

Also, your new avatar frightens me to my very core.

Is webadict just "webadict"?

To clarify, yes. webadict is webadict there as well. Here are the chess.com usernames as I know them:


B12                   Chess.com
webadict              webadict
Toaster               SaintToaster
Book                  b12-book
Argembarger           Argembarger
Jokerman-EXE          Jokerman-EXE



Edit history: added Jokerman-EXE (sorry I forgot you, man).

I'll keep this updated if people tell me. I'll add this to the first post if people would like, or after I hear of a couple of successful games.

I added you to the above. Sorry, I forgot. I'll be glad to open and maintain a dedicated Chess thread, or add the usernames to the first post, if people tell me they'd like that, or if I hear of a handful of successful games completed.

If we get rolling, I can also keep a semi-updated roll of results or PGN games or tourneys or whatnot. Depends on interest/activity, really.

I know, it is... expressive, is it not?

Also, noble triumphant King, your humbled subject respectfully requests that you reinstate your previous crowned and mantled avatar for a brief period, to commemorate your victory.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

That is correct. I keep most of my forum settings pretty much to the default out-of-the-box ones. This prompts me to create things of common use like the LurkerTracker's $TZOFF time-zone offset. Yes, you can set your time-zone in your profile, but the program can calculate it for you regardless of your settings, making it usable for a maximised group of users, wherever they are, whatever their choices.

...your point being? Are we only cool if we set this or that field to this or that value? That's useless! Regardless of how I set my variables, there is no way I could ever be cooler than webadict. webadict is, by far, the coolest person ever.

No, you should just set things to the best settings. Max PPP and the black forum profile since it doesn't look like shit.

Think of it as being like Webadict. You may never match him, but you can be a poser and pretend to match him.
