 Subject: The Pawn Stars
Message:
THe Pawn Stars are a new team that has risen quickly in the ranks. Well the top 100 anyway.Ok, 93 last time I checked. We are looking for members subject to our stringent,lol, criteria..above 1400 ratings are especially welcomed. We are a team with a finely developed sense of humour AND a web page. I would like our team members to have a say in the Team Development because everybody is important. If you have any comments or suggestions how we can improve our team please post them here.

TEAM MATCH STATUS REPORT
Hi guys,
Just thought I would add to that inspiring message from General Xena and give an update of our team play. I would like to say that whether we are 93 or 96 at the moment, or whatever we are, in comparison to other teams we have a HUGE active game list, and that's something. We are now playing something like a hundred active team matches (give or take), against about 25 different teams (give or take) -- some repeat offenders, who must have liked the beating they got from us the first time around. This is big. Huge. Much bigger than most any other team out there. So, keep those beatings coming!
I would like to single out a few Pawn Stars for special recognition, in the not too distant future I hope to work this routine up into real awards with actual prizes like t-shirts, gold boullion, the Stanley Cup, free Lazarus Harps CDs, or something like that. But for now...
Special recognition #1: General Xena, STILL top of the team table with 3 points. She has raised the bar, people. You get the hint I take it.
Special recognition #2: Ace-in-the-hole award goes to aucklander7 who defeated our highest-ranked opponent yet, sdr46 (1756) of the Cynical Cynics. This should also be the "David vs. Goliath" award for biggest point differential win (unless my calculations are very much in error).
Special recognition #3: Carol45 and moscowch tie for the "Sweep" award, winning both their games against kleberkabg of "INTREPIDUS!!!!11" and elpauly of The_Runners, respectively...
Special recognition #4: the "have you tried decaf" award goes to new member tamer68... finished 4 games in 24 hours! Personally I am still stretching, uh, I mean, battling it out tooth and nail in one match against my very first team opponent. Tamer68's motto appears to be: so many butts to kick, so little time.
If I missed anybody or miscalculated anything, don't sue me.
No doubt the rest of us will also be turning in noteworthy performances in the very near future and rest assured, the TEAM COACH is watching, and taking note...
That's all from me for now, so until next time, battle on!
yours etc., TEAM COACH

Great buttkicking all, we have LEAPT up the team table from #91 yesterday to #67 (SIXTY-SEVEN) today! Seemingly due largely to speed demon tamer68's bewildering performance and also THREE (!) wins by carol45. This is based on a quick glance of the team table, no doubt there are more superhuman performances that are also a factor in yesterday's leap, which will come out in my further analysis.

Good point aucklander7. Ok lads, it's like this, at the left of your window you have the menu bar, you click (hover your pointer over and press the right, repeat, RIGHT button), over the last menu choice, "more options"...
heh heh. but seriously folks, I had been considering using this forum for some general play discussion in addition to team news, but not sure how appropriate or useful that would be. For example, I'm on a "Queen's Gambit" kick right now, so am working that opening in most of my games right now and have found it to be, for the most part, pretty powerful. Any interest in some discussion on that? (Of course if there is then I will have to change my tactics since the other teams can, of course, read this forum. But what the hell.)
I've found that most people decline the pawn but if they don't... what's next? Is the general strategy to just let black hold on to the pawn (if temporarily) or something else...?
Any thoughts appreciated...

[ report this post ] | The Queen's Gambit (QG)
Message:
The QG is a much played openning (not my favorite, though). The main lines are the ones in which you refuse the pawn. When accepting it, keep in mind not to worry too much in its defense. The main aim of gambits, this one included, is not to recover the pawn, but to develop fast and get initiative with strong attack. Usually, when opponent tries to keep the pawn for too much, he will get behind in development and will compromise the position. I'll give you a few lines but know that this is just a drop of the ocean (1.d4,d5 2.c4, dxc4):
[btw, some legends: +- advantage white; -+ advantage black; = balanced position]
---3.d3 (not much entreprising, so, seldom used), b5 ; 4.a4 (themathical against b5 to break the black queen pawns), c6 ; 5.axb5, cxb5 ; 6.Qf3+- winning a piece) Though this line may seem too tempting black have ways far more pleasants to defend
---3.d3, e5= (don't minding about returning the extra pawn to you)
---3.e4,c5 4.d5,e6 5.Bc4,Nf6 6.Nc3,exd5 7.Nxd5,Nxd5 8.Bxd5,Be7 9.Bf4,0-0 10.Ne2,Qb6 11.0-0, Be6 = (if Qxb2, Ra1 with the idea of Bxb7)
---3.e4,e5 4.Nf3,exd4 5.Bxc4,Nc6 6.0-0,Be6 7.Bxe6,fxe6 8.Qb3+- threatning b7 and e6 and leaving black with strange position
---3.Nf3,a6 4.e4,b5 5.a4,Bb7 6.Cc3,b4 7.Bxc4,e6 (if bxc3, Qb3+-) 8.Qb3 with confusion play.
---etc, etc, etc
So, any doubt? Hope so. There's too much more about the accepted QG. Books of it! But, keep asking, I'll try to answer.

Thanks pawncrusader for that little overview of the QG. You hit something that wasn't quite put into so many words in the (basic) chess book I've been reading on this, which is: the point is development, not the pawn. Recently I've managed to use the QC to devastating effect in some games as white, now I'm on the receiving end of it as black in a friendly against Captain Xena; by move 8 I may have won the pawn but definitely lost out on real estate (for those interested:
1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bf4 Be7 5. Bg5 Nbd7
6. Nf3 O-O 7. e3 dxc4 8. b3 cxb3 9. axb3 b6 10. Bxf6

Message:
As I said before, I'm not an expert on QG. However, a couple of question on your game:
- Bf4 may be possible. Bg5 may also be possible. 4.Bf4... 5.Bg5 seems like a waste of time.
- 8.b3 seems no longer necessary. Why not Bxc4. a4 and sometimes b3 are a plan against the accepted QG, but here you may simply take the pawn, developing the
B. It worked well on this particular game mainly because you created too many weak points on the Queen side after that. BxNf3 must have been the final mistake.

Pawncrusader's last message got me thinking of a way we can improve as a team. We should organize a mini tournamant, exclusive to members, and allow fellow members to comment and give advice in these games. I am not sure if these games can be unrated, but I think it will only work if it is. I think Coachie did mention, something along this line, in his previous team messages that he was thinking of setting up a mini tournament. It will obviously be open for interested parties only. Can you guys please post your comments and ideas on this subject.

Message:
Hi Guy. I Think that a mini tournament could be a big benifit to the team, and if it was unrated than that would take some of the pressure and competion out of it. It would give team members a chance to interact and get to know thier fellow team mates better and wouldn't half to worry about ones rating or the win. Also some good advice could be given to others that could help us in the long run. For example I know that I'm not the best opener but I have a good mid game and am pretty good at closing, where if I was playing another member that was good at openings and not so good at seeing the closers, we could exchange some good advice to stregthen our games in the future against other teams. As long as it dosn't turn into a pissing contest I think this could be a very effective tool. Just remember that you can't give someone else advice on a different game cause the webmaster can kick you off for cheating,lol. A team that playeras togther wins togther. To all those in a team match right now happy hunting, and I'll see yah's around,lol.

Thanks rubar10 and 120kz for your comments. Ok,we'll make it so there's no giving of blood. Also, definitely, it won't be a "pissing contest". I might be at a slight disadvantage if it were to be anyway . Just a point though - if it is unrated it can discussed, so no problems there. Everyone who wanted to do it would need to have games free. If you are booked up it's a no go. Aside from that it just a matter of sorting out who wants to and who doesn't. I am already playing several unrated games against team members so I guess I am in. Yours, etc xena

If I understood well, I'm not really in the mood (or have an available number of slots) for several friendly games. What about if we make 2 groups and create only 1 or 2 games, played by a representative of each group, who would give some few days of discussion with each other group mate for each move? Don't know exactly how that would be done, though. Maybe with the creation of a Pawn Forum and a Star Forum (and the compromise of each member not to see the other forum)?

[ report this post ] | Team tournament/mini-tournament
Message:
Greetings team,
Before going back and addressing the team mini-tournament idea that has been kicked around above, please allow me to take a solemn moment to remind you all that WE ARE AT WAR. Now then. There does seem to be some animus for doing some intra-team games and discussing them in the forum as they are played. Some team members, including myself, feel this would be of value to the team in general. There seem to be two ways we could do this. One, there is an official "mini-tournament" option which I (or anyone else) could set up. Mini-tournaments can be open or private (by invitation only), and the latter option would seem to be the most appropriate for our purposes. Whoever sets up the mini-tournament could invite a specific player or players to play. The disadvantages are (1) every player in a mini-tournament plays every other player, automatically; so, if more than two players are involved this would be a significant burden on our already stressed-out game schedule; (2), these are rated games and there doesn't seem to be any way to make them unrated. One interesting option the mini-tournament does offer is to play the games from a specific starting position; although since we're talking about openings here that may not be so exciting right now.
The other way we can handle this is to just have two team members volunteer to play a public, unrated game, and all team members who are interested can watch the game and comment in the forum. I think this would still be worthwhile, even though the players themselves would, of course, be able to view the comments in the forum. Pawncrusader's suggestion that the forum be split into two forums, while it would make the game more challenging to the players, seems to me to be just too complicated to pursue, and anyway, we're not actually out to beat each other up (for the most part), but we should be saving that treatment for the opposition.
So... any volunteers?
yours, etc. TEAM COACH (that's TEAM COACH to you)

Thanks Tamer for your comments. It is good to see more team members are getting interested in contributing to the forum. Also just a bit more about the proposed "Team Tournament". If we were planning to do anything at all, I think Team Coach's idea about playing a public, unrated game between 2 team members would be the way to go. Everyone is maxed out on team games and their other games at the moment so there wouldn't be room for any kind of organised tournament anyway. Maybe this is something we can do further down the track.

Still analyzing the latest results here, but I had to jump in with one quick award. Player of the week/day/hour is our ON FIRE msidhu, not only has he leapt to the top of the team table with his score of +7, but he has won his last EIGHT (8) !!! (00001000 in binary)... definitely worthy of special mention and no small part of us cracking the top 20 briefly there. Consider yourself no-prized and, you like rule or something.
On an unrelated note, as has been pointed out here the web page has been slightly updated. If anybody checked out the now infamous Boringness Assessment Test, note on top of that page there is a smaller version of the semi-official pseudo-unofficial Pawn Stars logo. For team members who were to shy to put up a "scary" picture on their profile pages, and who still have no picture as yet, consider grabbing that pic for your profile page. All in the interest of presenting a unified front to the opposition, of course.

As COACH said, it's fairly easy to set up a tournament between team members but it would have to be rated to be an official tournament.This is pretty much the only way to do it. The real problem is that it would affect the number of games in the usual way and make a lot of the team unavailable when team games come up...which is just about all the time. I suppose we could always have a vote on it though if people were really interested.

Right, CAPTAIN XENA and linford, the only way we could work this is if the team tournament games were kept very low in number, like two. Although, and I'm not sure when linford came into this thread, but we did the math back there somewhere and it looks like at the moment we don't have the players available for even that. Challenges are still coming in hot and heavy and on top of that we are trying to free up ten of us for a full frontal assault on the Flying Zebras... we are AT WAR, remember. The problem is we have a lot of players on the team with free memberships, and those memberships are often (very) limited in the number of games they can play, so short of doing something really sneaky I don't see how we can get around that. But linford, if you have tons of open spots and want to go for it, let me know and I'll see if I can get ONE other volunteer from the team.

Message:
No you can't delete Forum messages once they are posted as far as I am aware. It is getting slightly long but as SOON as we have finished with this topic we can always start a new one. No, I have not lost a team member ... but it seems we might have gained a couple more without realising it. I'll have to ask odonata what he is doing with his extra ones ... perhaps we can come to a compromise. CAPTAIN xena

Message:
Greetings TEAM and apologies for my presence, or lack thereof, of late. As some team members have pointed out we have been experiencing some "thread creep" here, but there is in fact some method to this madness, so what can I say except, bear with us and stay tuned for the SHOCKING conclusion... after which we can hopefully head back towards the territory for which this forum was intended.
Firstly, to answer rubar10's last question above, there is NO WAY to delete a post, once posted, so a couple of things should be kept in mind: one, people should, to coin a phrase, "watch what they say," as it will be set in virtual stone for all to read for a very long time. And of course, most people don't need to be reminded of this, but for the few who do, WATCH WHO YOU ARE when you say it. The more astute readers will know where I'm going with this but for the rest, rest assured that CAPTAIN Xena has the matter in hand and the loose ends of this thread are about to be tied up.
Following on from rubar10's post, since discourse in the forum inexorably proceeds in a straight-line fashion and as a result, some threads (like this one) seem to go off track a bit and people who have trouble with linear thought, such as rubar10 and, dare I say, myself, can get frustrated. The thing to do when that happens is to open another team forum page and it would appear that now would be the time to do so. I propose at this point that we should open another forum page right here in the "team play" forums, tentatively entitled "Pawn Stars (2)", where we can pursue the mini-tournament event. I'm glad aucklander7 has expressed interest in participating so I will be contacting him about that and seeking a suitable partner; I don't think linford fits the bill actually. Oh that reminds me, yes that other issue alluded to above is due to be resolved by CAPTAIN Xena right about now, so I will clear the stage at this point and enjoy the show myself, you are all, of course, invited and otherwise, look for the new mini-tournament forum to appear within the next few days (it will also be announced in a TEAM MESSAGE).
As always, thanks for your attention,
yours, etc. TEAM COACH

Message:
Thank you Coach for that stunning introduction. I hope I can do it the justice it deserves. I probably can't, so I'll keep it brief. Unfortunately we won't be seeing our friend " linford " back in any of our team threads....and not his friend "tongesai" either. As Coach has, rightly, pointed out everything that is said here is here to The End Of Virtual Eternity and is also visible to everyone else on this site.That's why I am not going into the finer details of the " Linford Incident " here...but I will do a Team Message shortly for the Very Confused. This matter is now closed...so nobody mention " linford " ever again. Yours, etc CAPTAIN xena
