Will Physics Forums Chess Return? Inquiring Casually

In summary: PF chess subforum may be restored after the upgrade despite initial concerns. The conversation also covers a bit of banter and excitement about the return of the chess forum, as well as some discussion about playing chess and suggestions for the forum.

Meanwhile, seeing the impressive upgrade of PF, would it be too audacious to inquire casually, if there is any chance to have the PF chess subforum restored? (no pressure by all means).

Greg had announced that before the upgrade we might lose the chess forum. Apparently it's not supported in the new software. Sorry. :frown:

That's cool! I'm still not very into chess, but I know how much other people enjoyed having it. I also enjoyed peeking into the games sometimes and watching players banter back and forth.

Nice Greg, and thanks for bringing back the birthdays!

I used to be an addicted player before University. I still watch games almost everyday though and I die to play!
So if I have some free time I'd be interested in it.

I always lost, and got yelled at for making wrong and illegal moves, lol. I may suck at Chess, but I think it's fun to play!
