check out post 2 and 3 for updates! 1-24-2012
like last year i'll have cosplay chess- BUT
i'll need full game in order to play I dont want to be mean about it, but if you say your going to be there-be there!
last year i had games that couldn't be played or had to scramble at the last minuet to find people to play. (it's really stressful so please dont do that to me this year T_T)
if it's one or 2 spots to fill then the game can still happen-but if more them 4 people need to be found the game will be canceled. so for warning-not a filled game no game-
as it gets closer i'll let you know dates and times, as well as what spot is available.
but for right now
Friday noon-
Place: FiF CE MS (this is the spot!)
what days and times are better for people? any thoughts one the matter? and anyone want to the the second? (you can play that game-)
*buy the way there will be pictures! if you dont want your picture, or dont want it up on the web, then please still free to step to the side. but your still welcome to come!
Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering/Event this year. If you do not want to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed.

HOW TO PLAY 101 or 102 which ever you want it to be ^^
ok for those that dont know about chess no worries, but if you wan to know on how the pieces move then heres a very basic brake down
King: one space in any direction
Queen: in any direction but the "L" shape that the knight makes
Bishop: up to 5 in a diagonal -only on the color that they start one if they start on white they can't move to black etc
Knight/horse: "L" shapes either 2 up and on over or one up and 2 over.
Rook: up to 4 spaces in 1 direction. no diagonal only straight.
pawns: first move can be 2 spaces, only 1 after that. and can only move in 1 space diagonal if "attacking" but no going back wards.
TO PLAY IN THE GAME
there is NO PHYSICAL ATTACKS ON ANY PERSON!!
if you are going to "attack" the player that you are taking over then it's a stage fight.-what does that mean? no contact of skin on skin or body on body. you can fight them at arms length, and "kill" them remotely. (last year we had a guy with a camera, and he took pictures to "kill" his opposition.
We want you to have fun-not pain! pain is a big no-no! Also damaging props is not good either so if your Sora or Roxas and your using your key blade to fight-don't hit anything with it-as it will hurt you and your prop.
I'll show more oh 'how to' at Fanime as some people are better with visuals, or you can look up the "fights" on YouTube. (look up cosplay chess and see how they "fight")
i think that covers it! if there's anything i left out let me know and i'll change to fit it ^^
also the Game room will be running game about ever 2 hours in the gaming room. if this one fills up we'll go over there and get ya in a game! also if you ant to do a themed game let me know, i'll get the game rooms permission to do get one going. Assassin vs Templar's is still top on my list to get done ^^
jinko... please update your first post to include the required info please :)
Thanks

did i put in the right info?
bump a bump!

my cat says happy new year!

ever have an opera stuck in your head but you can't remember the words... i have that right now.
bump!

It does sound interesting and I might swing by.
I thought about it last year as well. ^^;
I think perhaps people are not stopping by the forums as much yet.
It may happen more when Fanime gets closer.
But the idea is really nice.
Is it outdoors or indoors, if I may ask?
Also can I ask who plays as the chess masters or the "players" to move the pieces around?
Do people do like special attacks to "finish" a taken piece?
I think some more details would be nice. =)
But this is for Fanime 2012 right? ^^; (since the post does say "not 2012")
Just asking some questions first to get an idea of the event~
the Players would be my self one one other person, it will outside-unless bad weather then inside
and as fanime get closer i post rules of conduit for in the game. and i fixed the header as it was to have read Cosplayers and not(like people wearing everyday cloths) 2012. so that's fixed thanks for pointed that one out.
I like to attend but I don't know how to play Chess.
@Haunterluvcookies
It's not too hard.
But I'm wrong about this, anyone can feel free to correct me as I haven't played in ages myself.
There are already 2 "players" that will move the pieces.
So if you're one of the chess pieces, this is what you need to know if you're any of these.
Pawn: Move up to one or two spaces forward or backward. Diagonal only to capture another piece. IF a pawn reaches the enemy side, it can become another piece like a knight.
Knight: Moves ONLY in an L formation (for example, one right, two up)
Bishop: Moves ONLY in a Diagonal line.
Rook: Moves ONLY in a line formation (up, down, left or right) even to capture another piece.
Queen: Moves in all directions, even diagonal.
King: If captured or cornered, the game ends. Able to move in all directions (but I think there's a limit on how far he can go?)
So just remember this and you should be fine. =)
Hope this helped.

Mostly correct, but pawns can't move backwards and they can only move two spaces up once from where they started on the board.
And the queen can do every move but the 'L'
Anyways I wouldn't mind participating if this takes off.

that's the beauty of this game! you dont have to. the "chess masters" tell you where to go >< you just have to be able to move (like if your being a wii remote, you can move just dont run it to people.)
also the king can only move one spot at a time, but can move in any direction. ><
Yay! I would love to go. Thanks everyone for all the help!

great can't wait to meet ya! oh think of where on the bored you would like to be(white or black and front row or back ^^ ) and let me know!
Sounding more interesting as I read it. ^_^
I think I'll stop by...I can't guarantee it just yet because I might have something going on, but it looks like the time frame is a time I might be able to do.
(Hoping to perform on stage...*crosses fingers*)
So tentatively I'll stop by to watch and perhaps play as well.
Looking at the time, perhaps people might not be around yet.
People might not be able to make it on Friday noon because of school or work or something.
Same with Saturday when people might be in line waiting for their badges for the weekend.
Just a thought. ^^;
Also just an idea...is there a "taking/capturing" motion for each character/piece?
It would make it pretty interesting...keeping it SAFE of course.
that is a good point but there are lots of people there on Friday and as Saturday is way to busy with other gathering and Sunday is the masq, Friday is the only day that it would work out. i'll make a modified post tomorrow about the rules, and how to play safely and what pieces are available (thou not filling that in yet-too far out)
Okay so I am glad that someone else will be making the moves. So, I would love to be a black knight!

Yay, I can't wait. Thank you.
ooh! I'll try to come to this (friday? saturday would've been good for me since it's the day i'm wearing my big costume but i can wear it for this then change XP) I did this one year and it was pretty fun : D i wanna be a white bishop (or queen ehe) =w= cosplaying helba from .//hack so I shall look the part D;
Sorry if I misread it, but you needed a second player?
I haven't played chess in years, but if so I'd love to pick it back up if it meant I could tell live-sized pieces to move around!
You can count me in! I will probably be Sasuke... I have been in 4 different Cosplay chess games... I will let you know if I change character

Just had a couple questions with the rules you wanted to play by. When I used to play I used the World Chess Federation rules where rooks and bishops can move an infinite amount of spaces, but if you're going to limit their movement I wanted to just know three things, to make sure I'm not mistaken on the rules you want to use. I don't want to seem like a cheater when I make a move that's illegal in the ruleset you use.
1)Can Queens move as far as they want in each direction?
2)Are you going to allow
castling?
3)Are you going to allow
en passant?
(https://forums.fanime.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg803.imageshack.us%2Fimg803%2F9955%2Fajedrezcapturaalpasodel.png&hash=cca95d3842f0dc8c7d2834dbab471f20443b74ef)
I figured I should explain en passant since a lot of people haven't heard of this move (I actually forgot about it until I read about it right now while doing a refresher on chess moves). When a pawn moves two spaces forward, then the opposing pawn can capture it as if it moved only one space. This prevents a pawn from avoiding an enemy pawn by moving to their side with the two space movement. En passant can only be done right when it becomes available, otherwise you lose your right to it.
So in short:
1)If a pawn moves two spaces then it will be vulnerable to an en passant by opposing pawns
2)If an en passant is not immediately done, it can no longer be done

i limit the moves just so there's more to move around if that makes sense. and i would like castling but i have to refresh on the rules on that. and En Passant.......not really. very informal ^^ (bedsides if i start losing i might cheat >< ) were you at the game last year? there was someone there that was the Sacramento jr champ of chess, and he helped out a lot during a game ^^ if you want pick a game and we'll use that as base and go around it. ^^

Um, he didn't say, though I think it'd be funny if he was white seeing as he looks completely white. Just don't tell him I said that :P

I don't have any real preferences to the rules, you're the one hosting this, trust me, I'm pretty informal with chess too! This is actually the first Fanime I'm attending, and I haven't played chess in a very long time, I just wanted to make sure I understand all your rules so the game won't be ruined. I think I know what you mean by limiting the moves, it'd be boring if people relied on bishops and rooks too much and everybody else didn't get to move around and got nice leg cramps, lol.
leg cramps are a bad thing. and making sure ever one moves is a good thing.
I would like to be the Black Queen! Oh gurl. Oh gurl.
Haha but yes it seems like a fabulous amount of fun if enough people sign up! I will make sure to tell others who are attending c:
I will be in one of a few cosplays depending on the time of the game, either way, this should be very cool.
Just message me on here I suppose if this is actually happening when you know? I would hate to miss out by not checking the posts
LOL I remember doing this since 07 :P I think we should do this for this year AND like have some twist to it where if you cross an opponent you have a small skit. for bigger pieces when they come across one of us they can "banish" us and we'd lose and step out haha
EDIT: You can list me as any pawn on the white side
I will be the black King if you dont mind. I will be cosplaying as either karkat or tavros from homestuck

no worries! also if you just want to watch that's ok too, some people just like to watch >< also the game room will have games every day so if you miss this one you can check it out there as well!
There is a good chance I'll participate too as I've always played cosplay chess every year in the game room
I preferably want to be a knight or a bishop.
my friends are interested in playing (it's our first time) but we'd have to check our schedule to c when we'd be able to go :-\
i went to check out one of the games last year and it was quite fun to watch/take photos.. but they didn't actually finish the game b/c they ran out of time so they just timeskipped and massacred everyone, lol..
i wish i could be one of the players and tell the pieces what to do, bwaha.. prepare for glory! >D

If it takes off then I'm on board.
But here is a question, is this game going to be like the anime boston cosplay chess show they've had for the last 3 years where this will be highly interactive? or is this just like the fanime game room version like they have every year at fanime?
well i've never attended the game room version, and never been to Boston. I've seen the Seattle sakura con version- but i ran it last year, and people had fun. the characters will move around and they can "fight" but no physical contact. the players can "trash talk" but (pg to pg-13 unless little kids are then then ya no real trash talk)
does that answer the question? and when the con get closer is when more people sign up.
so for right now it's a go,
but like i said in post 1 if theres like 6 people not there then really can't have a game.
I just watched the Sakuracon cosplay chess. So you've ran the 2009 and 2011 there?
Sorry if I'm being troublesome, but is this going to be a game or a show to which all the moves have already been predetermined? Whichever is fine with me. Just something I was trying to understand.
Anyways you can count me in as whatever piece you need. But as I said preferably bishop or rook.

no i never ran the one up in Seattle. i have been there and watched theirs and also been in one of the games.
you can play the game as the pieces themselves. or if you don't want to play you can watch. and no the games is live and if i start losing to badly i start cheating.....nicely thou. and i'll put you as either. what side do you want to be on?
I'm pretty sure I'm either misunderstanding or you're not getting what I'm saying. But whatever, I'll just take it as it is.
So I'll play for black. But in the end if someone is being stubborn, I don't mind playing whatever piece whatever side.

i think it is a conversation cross over.......but yes we will continue >< all right black side, bishop you are>< (and most are not to picky so it shouldn't be a issue)
chess! checkers! and all that jazz ><
Omgsh, you were the one with the awesome chess set last year? I think it was like sunday and you had no people so me and my roommate played like 2 games with half luggage/other random items and half people.
That was so much fun if you were! Thanks for the great time! I'll see if I have time to swing by again this year. :3
I should probably mention I never played Checkers before, so unless you want to teach me, you're definitely going to need more players or else we're going to be stuck playing chess all day. :P

yes the luggage and bag pieces until that cute little kid showed up and was the pieces >< if you can stop by! right now it's only one game, but the game room is being kind and letting help out with some of their games there so there is always one going in the game room as well ^^

oh i was just putting the checkers in there. we will only play that if there is not enough people, but closer to fanime is when more peps show up on the forums and sign up
i had a question. will there only be cosplay chess on friday ? or will there be some games on Saturday and sunday?
right now it's only on friday. as last year no one showed up really so it was hard to do any games. IF there are people that want it on saturday or sunday i'm willing to do a game, BUT it has to be a full game in advance. (like by that morning) and it'll will be at a time that i can be there (unless i meet with the people who want to be in charge and can leave the chess stuff with them) as it looks like i'm going to be really busy this con ^^;
Is there a time in which the game will be held on friday?

i went to check out one of the games last year and it was quite fun to watch/take photos.. but they didn't actually finish the game b/c they ran out of time so they just timeskipped and massacred everyone, lol..

Chess is not hard. It is fun, but you have to have the mind for knowing what move the enemy is going to play. And I thought that we don't play? That somebody it going to tell us where to go.
I know, it sounds so fun. Playing with actual people, I can't wait.

check on the first page for the listing. so far it's a friday game and then a late night one (like 7pm) but that's a first come first spot. that's on a nother post. so far there's not really a saturday game as there are so many other things going on. but there will be a game if there is enough people (again first page, first post)

Why does everyone keep saying 'bump'?
It's an internet forum slang, meaning every time you reply to this thread it takes it to the top of the list. Since almost all forums are in the "newest post" order it helps other people read your topic on the frist page, instead of page 10+ or what ever number.
Also this counts a bump too,
Your welcome. ;)
Ah! Thank you very much! ^.^
Kpmonkeygirl- that's for the explanation >< you said it so well!
and thanks for the bump!
bump before the bunny comes and gives you things, that according to my siblings,-comes out of his rump......i never understood that.
I am going to do my first bump on a forum. BUMP!
This sounds like a bit of fun.
I'm a little unsure about the times though...
It says Friday at noon, but I won't be there until after 3pm I believe since I'm picking up a friend for the convention.
Or Saturday at 10am.
Are these the right times?
I thought I read there will be one at night too or something like that?
Can you confirm this for me?
I would like to make it (not sure which cosplay I'll be there in at the time though, depends on what I'm feeling for that time and day).
So any help would be greatly appreciated =)

sorry for the confusion it was a long first post.
Friday at noon AND the Saturday game are both ONLY going to happen IF their are FULL games.
Last year i had too many people say that they would come and then flaked off somewhere, sorry but i think that rude.
you say your going to be somewhere you be there. If they had a "i think i can" i understand and put that down, but i had full games signed up and like half showed grrrrrr! (sorry had to rant but not at you!)
so these game will happen IF the are full at the times mentioned. so far Saturday is not happening. but look at this link

this is for "late night" (like 7 pm) games its a free for all and no sign ups just come and play. ^^
hopefully that helps let me know if it doesn't.

the late night ones, it's a come and play and then go. ^^ (i will get you my pretties and your little dog too! Hee Hee Hee)
o ok when and where will tht be held??
Why hello there~
If you don't have a location set yet, you are all more than welcome to use the chess board in the Game Hall in Exhibit Hall 3 this year. Please let me know what you decide so I can let my dept heads know.
Well since my army of white chess pieces seems to be filling up very slowly, here's a free bump.
Hello, I am Huy and can you please replace my name on the chess game to my fan name? Sorry for the trouble as there was a mistake when I was signed up. Thank you.
CptPunch- Yes i'll change it, thanks for letting me know
Mr.Skellington- Thanks for the bump!
Ska_Kitti and MidnightPrincess94-i have my own bored and the place will most likely be in the same place last year. over on the Marriott side by the stair wells, (it's like a back little corner) but it's not 100% because of the construction in the fountain area, so it MIGHT be moved to another spot. so that's why it's not listed yet. also look at the first page the first and second post for more information about times and the stipulations about the game.
Thanks for the post!
And without being obnoxious here's another BUMP

here's a "bump" for the day.....maybe hour idk yet.
Bump! Like bumper cars!
Bump for worm stashes and kings
Hmm...it seems like a lot of pieces are still missing.
All of the pawns in fact...both rooks on both sides and a white bishop.
I'm wondering if there will be enough players.
If there were only a few slots missing, I would be more than likely to fill one up. =)
Being so many missing slots, I don't want to show up and then have it be canceled.
That wouldn't be any fun right? ^^;
I hope people will start signing up for the other missing spots.
I might decide to go to the late night one in case this one doesn't work out.
Hope that's alright.
well if you have friends that are at fanime tell them that they are joining. (no one ever seems to wait to be the pawns, but they move more so i dont understand that.) but that's how the game gets filled, have friends -they are in the game just let me know and they will be on the list.
ay body else? sign up now !><
still have spots open!!
lots of spots! you know you have firends (or your self) that wants to join ><
bump for chess!
read post 1 please! also anybody have any more firends that they can drag to this??? we need more people!
I'll join.
OH MY GOSH thanks soooo much!!!! i put you as a white knight ^^ now to fill the pawns and it's be a game!!
any more people want to sign up now? >< you can!
read post 1 WE HAVE A SPOT!
bump for the day-so far ><
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we have the chess on Saturday or Sunday? There might be people who aren't here yet on friday (myself included) and would really like to participate
Awe, man.... I saw chess last year and I really wanted to do it, but this sadly conflicts with another event I am attending. D: Are there going to be other games other days..?
this year i'm not sure. that might be an "at con" discussion. as Sat and Sun i'm swamped so there might be someone else running it. i'll talk to the head of CG and see what we can do.
Hello. I'm Mattlock. I'd like to be chess piece. I cosplay a giant diglett that uses pay day. From what I could tell it's friday at noon, but I'm not sure where. I assume there will be more details at the con. I'm coming from Albuquerque but I'll get there late Thursday. I'll be sure to read the program for details.
the place is Place: FiF CE MS
and i have you as a rook ^^ have friends that are coming that you drag to this as well? ><
bump !!
come play come play!!!!
Still missing 19 pieces doc. 3 rooks and 16 pawns.
wat time will it be at on friday??

As I said no one likes pawns as they are the boring pieces and tends to get kicked out to quickest. Hence why I warned you in the beginning about this doc.
And some pawns last until the end o the game. I'll play. I'd love to be a rook-more appropriate to the character-but I'll be a pawn if I have to.
Kite- soooo not tru they are the first to move and while they might not last as long as the back pieces they have more "fights"
Yuu- sure! i'll put you one the black side as rook#1

You hold a valid point and true that pawns hold the potential to become any powerful piece on the board.
But nevertheless you are now 18 pieces short with two rooks and 16 pawns. I'm assuming you can't just get people right from the area.
oh i can get people from the area-i just prefer not to- i hate begging people to come play (i'm actually very shy even thou i dont always appear to be ^^) that's all with most of the people all ready signed up getting the rest wont be too hard, it's when there's 2 people signed up and no one shows....that makes for a hard game ^^; (happened last year hence why i like to have a lot more signed up for this year)

Well it looks like you're having better luck this year then.
Anyways by accordance to your first post, you're still missing quite a handful of people. Will the event still occur? And furthermore where and when will this event occur?
If you're scared of asking strangers, I'll be more than willing to be the annoying guy that asks people to be his pawn.
Kite-Friday noon-
Place: FiF CE MS (this is the spot!) and as there are more people then last year signed up there will a game (95% sure on that as dont have to find as many people)
Mr. Lex that's nice of you ;) might have to do that but might not have to ><

Noon.......12pm (not am) ^^ i never understood why the am is not pm......oh well fanime is almost apon us><
i don't think i posted in here or i forgot to send... but if it's not too late i'll be glad to play (+1 player) and i'll also be dragging my friends with me so +2 more if they want to play too. looks like i need to brush up on my chess playing anyways :P so if u need a rook ill fill that spot in.
idk but if not i'll add you to the list and 2 friends >< thank so much!
Sorry doc, I might be late. I'll still see if I can make it as soon as possible.
Man, I wish King on one of the sides was open, I'll be King Logan from Fable all con, but my armor won't be done by then, I don't think. (Making it last minute, on Friday.) If you decide to run this another day too, I would love to be a part of it, as the King of white or black if possible. I'll try to find you Friday to see if there are any other says planned for it.
I'm sad to say but i don't think one of my friends will make it tomorrow. at the moment it's pending for him... sorry :(
It looks like it's going to be canceled. :<

tThat blows. I was really looking forward to it. Oh well maybe i can sign up for another game later.
It wasn't canceled- unless I post that it was- it wasn't. I was at fanime on Thursday-Monday but no internet- also only like 4 people that signed up showed. I totally understand that the pre-reg line was like 4.5 hours long (i knew someone that was in that line)
but I never posted that it was going to be cancelled.
It would have been if 3 people had signed up and no one showed- getting pawns is easy- but having only 4 people show up that originally signed up isn't- so instead of getting only 16 people I had to get 32-not fun.
There were 2 other people helping me get people (CG staff and 1 CG photographer) to play the game and it happened- it was fun.
but PLEASE- unless i had made a post about it, don't think that it was canceled.
I'm sorry if this post 'sounds' snippy. I'm still very sleepy form fanime and it was full of stress this year. (if you can't tell by the spelling mistakes and the grammar then idk)
i'm still going through these pictes but here is the pictures from ACP!
