...in the mean time let me learn a few moves from vlin.. if we play this sat that is ...

Abhee, do you mean teaching me a few moves? I'm an absolute BEGINNER.

Yohoo...

Our first chess session:

Date: 18 Mar 06 (Sat)
Time: 2pm
Venue: Mix Cafe beside HSBC headquarters

Blom, though you can't join us this week, keep an eye on this thread and surely we'll have more meetings, until we all become int'l chess grandmasters .

Hope to make this a weekly or bi-weekly brain-teasing + socialising activity.

hey vlin,

i totally meant i'll learn a few moves.. and personally i believe theres nothing like beginners in chess, once u knw the rules, its all a brain teasing session, as a grandmaster once said

see u at 2.

:-)

Hi Abhee,

Nice meeting u & thanks for those basic rules u gave me. Though I was total lost, but I'm happy.

Hope to have another few games with you soon, maybe the week after.

Did you get your crayon?

Vlin

Wow.. how was it? Sounds like a nice meeting for both of you.. a bi-weekly meeting sounds great Hopefully I can join next time.. would you just do it at weekends or will you think of weekdays' evening too??

Enjoy your Sunday!!

Cheers, Blom

Hi Blom,

Everything was great: ambience, foods/drinks, games, conversations, music, sofas, ...

I want to do it more often too, but for the time being, my schedule can only fit it in bi-weekly. But... do suggest a day (be it weekend or weekday), and will see.

[abhishek desai]

firstly hey vlin, it was really nice meeting you too.. surely looking forward to more games.. and then we went to mong kok to pick up the stationery, bought lots of art material.. ;-)

and blom, i agree to wat vlin has to say, everything was great, never thought chess could be so much fun.. hope to see u around soon..

have a good week ahead, and let me knw when u both decide on a date n time for the next game.. weekday would be difficult for me.. but weekend sounds fine..

tk cre..
ciao

Anyone interested to play a game on this Sat (April Fool)?

Time: 12-2pm
Venue: Mix (besides HSBC headquarters)

Thanks Mix for the sofa, space, music, and chess board.

Hope the manager of Mix is not reading this site.

[abhishek desai]

vlin, i think if the manager reads it, he will be rather happy, on getting free promotion on such a busy site..
and i m game for a game on april fools day.. but still will confirm again around 30th..
have a great week ahead.

ciao

Vlin and Abhee, Sat noon time sounds great for me. I gotta confirm you again later this week, coz a friend of mine is coming to visit us in HK!

I think the Mix manager would be even happier when you bring one more customer this time

Have a smooth week at work!

Cheers, Blom
