I was just watching a chess livestream and saw someone posting dongers in chat.
Which inevitably leads to the question if more of you play chess than I thought.
If there's a good number, I'm sure a tf.tv tournament would be super fun.

Official tf.tv chess.com group: http://www.chess.com/groups/home/teamfortresstv

Join the group to sign up for the first ever tf.tv chess tournament. Winner gets 3 keys! 4/20 slots currently filled.

I thought dongers were just everywhere (originated from LoL and then spread on from there iirc).

I did used to play chess. I was terrible though :(

I haven't seen dongers anywhere but in tf2 yet tbh, so if it was one of you, speak up!

If someone visits that site, my chess.com account is MysteriousDruid (with a shit live rating because I use it mostly for correspondence). If there are some members here, I can make a tf.tv group and host a tournament some day.

I haven't played chess in years!

Used to be the best thing to play; was enjoyable and good for your thinking processes.

I was considered to be good at chess when I was like 8. In middle school I was mediocre at best. Now I'm just shit-tier like the rest of the world.

Ah, what potentials we failed to realize as children.

Added you as friend. I need a premium account to create groups but paypal seems to be not working and I have to have an annoying talk with my bank to get my credit card working again so I'll do that tomorrow I guess.

I was my school's first board back in high school. chess.com username Xplayer1 If you play me in blitz I am GUARANTEED to screw up at the last second or lose on time.

I still play the equivalent of chess MGE sometimes though

Offtopic, I know that dongers originated in LoL, but I'm pretty sure that it's tf2 that made them what they are today, or at least in all of the internet, I saw them most in a tf2-related context.

I don't like blitz, I always fuck it up last second too. I can play a round or two tomorrow though. Added you and sent request for a correspondence game for now cause it's 6am and I might go to bed at some point.

Dongers is twitch/streamer culture. Anything stream-viral gets spread pretty quickly to every other stream ( ie ?

I used to play a lot of chess. Went to a tournament in Arizona once when I was 13-14ish.
If anyone is around my skill level I'd play. I'm like 1300ish. Blitz or turn-by-turn since I know that people want to be able to go off and do other things and then make a move.

The Bishop was sitting on h5 and took something on g6.
