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

Takeda Shingen · 03-21-06, 05:27 PM

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!

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

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

1. e7-e5

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 !

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

Skybird · 03-22-06, 08:00 AM

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

Classic opening moves there for both

Leaves room for castling the King

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."

Takeda Shingen · 03-22-06, 04:26 PM

Alright! The cartoon man cometh.

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

I'll play:

2. Ng1- f3
