Chess - an open challange

[mandalorian2298]

Since Tails has started it off and it has the word chess included, let me join in!

First challenger gets the Whites.

We write in the short format (standard) using the quotes to keep the thing easily legible. Example:

1. e4

1. e4 e5

White resigns!

Any takers?

[shieldgenerator7]

I'm in! Are we starting at the beginning, then?

[edocsil]

I will take white then.

1. Pawn e2 to e5
2.
3.
4.
5.

[shieldgenerator7]

1. Pawn f7 to f6
*for confirmation*: your first move was the pawn in front of the king moving it two spaces forward, correct?

[TA1LGUNN3R]

lol. Well whoever you end up playing, mandy, I'll be keeping an eye on this game, to take some pointers.

And I stole your record/ledger type deal and tweaked it for my own game. Thanks!!

[mandalorian2298]

Right. Do we perhaps have an applicant able to make/recognize a LEGAL first move in a chess game (pawns don't move 3 squares forward)?

[mandalorian2298]

Wanna play with me Tails, pretty please?

e4

Come at me, bro.

[edocsil]

Perhaps I miscounted the squares there, my chess program isn't labeled and I can't be assed to whip out my board every time I move. Have at him PCM.

e4

Come at me, bro.

1. e4 c5

Hey I somehow missed this before I went to bed last night. Sorry. But it looks like you got pcm to step in.

[mandalorian2298]

1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4 cxd4

(to speed this along, if 4. Nxd4 I play Nf6 and you can post your 5th move)

[pancakemix]

Hmm... finishing my turns for me? That's probably not a good sign...

1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4 cxd4
4. Nxd4 Nf6
5. Nb3

[mandalorian2298]

1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4 cxd4
4. Nxd4 Nf6
5. Nb3

Are you sure that you didn't mean Nc3? I mean, if Nb3 is your true move, I'll play Nxe4, but it looks like a typo.

[pancakemix]

I did mean Nc3. It ought to look like this:



Thank you.

If we do something spectacular here, then sure (with your permission of course ).

Seriously, the biggest impediment that lies in the way of my blog's growth is it's author's laziness. It only has two entries and the last one really didn't do justice to the material (the epic voyage of chess club "Contrada" to their first away game.)
