Chessmatch II: Tak v Torplexed--FINISHED: 0-1
 

I'll take Sky's lead here and start one myself. I do not own a chess computer and will not be using any programs, nor will I consult paper reference as I do not like to do so when playing, even via correspondence. I also will use full notation. Here goes:


1. e2-e4


I will be teaching for the rest of the night, but I will check back tomorrow to see my opponent, trusting that someone will take up from here.

Happy hunting! :up: Or what does one say in chess? In my old chess club, during my youth, our trainer always simply said "Bringt sie um!" :lol:

Tak needs game. Time to drag out my hideous purple and yellow chessboard. My King will be the black periscope.....

1. e7-e5

Heh nice touch on K icon torplexed :D :arrgh!:

Thanks scandium. Drew this chess set up in CorelDraw real quick. Doubt you'll ever see it being manufactured by the Franklin Mint. ;)

Awesome countermove ! :rock:

I can see a checkmate coming up within 15 moves both sides.

Congrats for having started a match! Good luck to both combatants!

Classic opening moves there for both :up:

Leaves room for castling the King :up: :up:

While the players crunch their brains for the next moves, I'll entertain you with a quote:

Who said this ?

"I failed to make the chess team because of my height."

Alright! The cartoon man cometh.

1....e7-e5 (previous move)

I'll play:

2. Ng1- f3

No idea but its gotta be from a movie...

Woody Allen
