Non Standard Chess Games

I am an older person who happens to love this mind stimulating game that we play, to the extent that I am a member of many various favourite chess sites on the net, and I play in them all with some degree of success, and certainly a great degree of failure, but "Que Sera" as the song goes, "whatever will be, will be", I feel no anguish when I lose or excessive fervour when I win, so this got me thinking to a fun sort of way to play this game, which could appeal to those players like me whose lives dont revolve around winning at all costs any game they play, to try the unnatural, ie: set up the game as unrated, dont play the recognised book openings, play any ridiculous opening move as white, reply in the same context as black, see how the game transpires where the mind has to work and enjoy itself, if you win GREAT, if you lose GREAT, no transpositions are allowed just fun...its something that appeals to me for fun, meeting like minded less serious players like me, maybe a club could be formed and a forum for us created...just an idea, if anyone wants to contact me do so thru the site utility, but always remember its a fun thing no-one gains, no-one loses...regards Jacky (Gandalf1)

    I am absolutly sure that there are very many players within this site who share the same kind of values regarding this game, and my views, that I do, its a serious game undoubtedly but it can also be fun too, so lets have some fun, laugh at the blunders, but who knows??...maybe a new kind of game could be discovered that is a winner??...who knows, so come on all, we got 2 players ready, Douggie and myself, contact either of us and set it up, when you do we got 3 or maybe 4 and maybe more, FUN is the word, laughter is the applause...Regards Jacky (Gandalf1)

    Well done Douggie, maybe we can start something of a trend with players like ourselves my friend, players who love to play the game but winning or losing isnt the end of the world for them, just have fun across the chessboard, chat, share thoughts, be humans to each other not adversaries who must win at all costs...lets hope we can attract a few more Douggie ok...regards Jacky (Gandalf1)

    I'd be interested Jacky,I don't study, because, whilst I recognise that I might well score higher ratings, I like to play wild and unusual moves. So count me in
