Steemit Chess Games : First Steps

in chess •  8 years ago  (edited)

The previous post on this topic ( Let's create a Steemit Chess Team!) has got rather good support and many people expects for next steps. Ok, let's begin.

First of all let me inform you that special account ( @chessminator ) was created to post on this topic and gather/distribute rewards, so if you interested what will be next, follow him, as next steps will be announced on behalf of this account. And his posts will cover only steemit chess games, while @stranger27 may write whatever he likes :)

First of all we need to decide where to play and what will be name of our chess team. Agree? For now, I consider two popular sites to play our games:

  1. Chess.com
  2. Lichess.org (By the way, I knew about it here, on Steemit, from @kooshikoo)

So I will place comments below this post, for Chess.com and for Lichess.org. You can also propose some other solutions! The comment with most votes will help to choose a place to play, and those who vote for it will be rewarded. You need also to vote for entire post. Don't forget about it :)

Another voting will be for Name of our chess team. I like 'Chess Dragons', and I will suggest it in comment. You may propose your versions. We'll take the most upvoted comment and those who vote for it also will be rewarded.

After some comparison I voted for lichess.org as it is free, has no ads, great educational stuff and its popularity is constantly growing.

Yes, that's better, IMO.

chessteemians ?

I put forward another suggestion, if @stranger27 is for it: FICS (free internet chess server).

Do you mean http://www.freechess.org/ ? Let it be! Let's decide together what is better. But please, put your comment in proper section to avoid mess, right after 'Choosing site to play at'

Yes, that's it.
