Chess-Analysis I: Skybird vs. Scandium 1-0

Skybird · 03-21-06, 12:07 PM

Okay, having talked on chess in another thread, I make a start after all that explanation and guessing there. No PC-software, no chess-computers. My opponent(s?) will make himself known here.

I start with this:

1. c2-c4

Will other matches start in their own threads, too...? "Trau dich!"

Sorry to hijack the thread. Do you also play Dame ?

How is Dame called in english ?

Dominos?

EDIT: No, checkers.

Ah, it is Scandium then!

Your last: 1. .../Ng8-f6
My move: 2. g2-g3

Due to experience from correspondence chess I would recommend that we

1. always repeat the last move of the opponent and adding our latest move to that, and

2. always use full notation. This is meant to help preventing misinterpretations, misunderstandings, misperceptions, or any kind of flaws like this.

I also must would like to get confirmation for this:
King = K =KÃ¶nig
Queen = Q = Dame
Rook = R = Turm
Bishop = B = LÃ¤ufer
Knight = N = Springer

I have never used English notation before, that's why I ask.

I use the PC board of one of my programs to log the moves and the position, however the engine is deactivated and does produce neither advise, nor position evaluations, nor any kind of hint, moves, or something. It is completely disabled I even do not use my PC-database. The computer move formular also shows no hints like these, so I have no computer assistance at all, I only use the board to log the moves and save the position over the days this will last. Is this okay for you?

Yeah that system and notation is fine (I've always used abbreviated algebraic notation but the full version is cool too). Same for the symbols. I'll be using Winboard to record the moves but under the same conditions: no computer assistance or database usage.

Your last: 2. g2-g3
My move: 2... e7-e6

Can we have webcam action of this titanic battle ?

JK But I wonder: Is there an advanced way we can follow the progress of this match ? I am not getting my chess board out and let my pieces follow yours.

scandium · 03-21-06, 05:48 PM

Easiest way would be to use a program that lets you record and save the moves, like the one I'm using: Winboard.

Its a freeware program you can download here:

http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard.html

(both Winboard and X-board are on the same page... X-board is its Unix equivalent).

Skybird · 03-21-06, 06:23 PM

Your last: 2. .../e7-e6
My move: 3. d2-d4

I am to bed now.

Since I log it in a chess software anyway, I can post occasional diagrams easily.

STEED · 03-21-06, 06:30 PM

Nice

Skybird · 03-21-06, 06:33 PM

One thing before I end this day: Takeda has setup a similiar thread and is looking for an opponent... Don't let him die in loneliness!

scandium · 03-21-06, 11:41 PM

Excellent idea on the addition of diagrams skybird, being able to see the position with a glance at the thread definitely adds some atmosphere to the game (I had not thought of it myself).

Your last: 3. d2-d4
My move: 3... c7-c5

Skybird · 03-22-06, 07:58 AM

Your last: 3. .../c7-c5
My move: 4. Ng1-f3
