Are any members interested in a chess club/thread?
It could involve both play and intellectual/"nerdy" chat and analysis.

Happy to lose at chess in exchange for feedback on why I suck.
Slightly less dramatically, I played against my schoolmates years ago. Recently I started to play again, against my phone. Interested in playing against someone whose chess skills aren't either those of a twelve year old or expressible simply in C++.
Actually, you could use Chess.com and set up a club there. You could have a thread HERE, but have the club and games there. They have a forum on Chess.com obviously and a thread could be made there too where PGN could be translated for game analysis. :)Yes, but we don't have a pgn interpreter, which would be nice. And the resonance during the last championship wasn't overwhelming on PF.
What do you mean? I only remember that I mentioned standings or game details in some thread and nobody actually replied. It would be nice to follow such events as championships live and discuss them. Not to mention that I usually have questions of the kind: "Why did he not simply ...?" when I replay the games. Some possible tracks are left out even in their commented versions.When do the games get played here?
I'd certainly participate in any PF chess event. I'm a bit above 2000 FIDE but don't get to play tournaments so often anymore.
sorry - that you meant there were game here previously...I see what you mean now.What do you mean?

We did! But that was an addon from maybe 10 years ago.We used to have a chess forum or a forum where chess games were played regularly. But my memory is hazy on that -- paging @Greg Bernhardt to help me recollect...
10 years ago? hahaWe did! But that was an addon from maybe 10 years ago.
Nowadays you can readily find definitive answers to such questions using chess engines. The open source champion engine, Stockfish, defeats all human players, and its analysis is available online at http://chess.com/analysis. If you go to http://chess.com/forum/category/daily-puzzles and complete a puzzle, the lightbulb hint icon will change to a chessboard icon, and that will take you to Stockfish analysis for that puzzle. You can also download Stockfish from http://stockfishchess.org.What do you mean? I only remember that I mentioned standings or game details in some thread and nobody actually replied.

Yeah I think it was loss of interest. It was going pretty good for a year or so. No plans to return it.What happened? Loss of interest afterwards? Any recent attempts to revive it?
... and ...Yeah I think it was loss of interest.
