Well, ask him, maybe...!?

You trail behind by 1 queen, 1 knight and 1 pawn. I don't want to be rude, but there is no chance you can repel the attack I'm about to launch. D-line is mine, diagonal a2-f7 will be mine to my liking, g-line is mine, your king's wing is not to be defended, and you have no counterplay and no compensation at all, with your pieces locked in place, and inactive.

Letum 10-03-08 05:32 AM

oh dear...our boards look different.
My mistake, I'm sure. I had your Queen Knight in b1.

edit: ah yes, I moved your pawn in the last move instead of the knight.

Please change my last move to Bf8-e2

No I won't, nor will anyone else, ever. ;)

What should it be: Be7 or Bb4?

Letum 10-03-08 05:47 AM

Gahh! damm German system!
I can just about stand it playing white, but as black it is trying.

KB1-K2
Bf8-e7

Skybird 10-03-08 05:59 AM

It's not a german system, as far as I do know, and it'S called algebraic system (short and long version). the descriptive system you use has been popular in english-speaking countries until after the middle of the last century, but FIDE has made it illegal now, while the temporary Professional Chess Association that broke away from FIDE but then collapsed meanwhile, also did not use it. The American chess federation, USCF, still allows it, but strongly discourages it, since literature today has almost completely transferred to the more compact short algebraic notation.

Skybird 10-03-08 06:04 AM

That is not fair - several good moves possible, but I am allowed to pick just one.
