Title: Chess Game in Progress BUv.Draz
Post by: Buster's Uncle on July 27, 2015, 12:18:26 AM

I'll move this to Other Games later, but Draz and I are testing out the re-installed Chess, to see if we can replicate the problems I had in my (blunderful but won) game v. New Age long ago.

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4  d5
4. Nc3 Nge7
5. dxe5

(I know what you're thinking.  Challenge someone else - I'm chicken, and just doing my duty as host.)

Obviously for those of you who know what you're doing over the board, this was the battle of the chess midgets -neither of us had developed as much as we should have eight turns in, for one thing- but he was going to end down another pawn, and if I didn't blunder -not a good bet, BTW- and played carefully, two pawns is decisive, of course.

I did not realise you were posting a public record of the game! I was just playing quick and dumb (not that I can play well) to test the feature. I'm not sure  ;zak; would approve :)

Dude, if there was time, I could teach you to SO kick my butt at th' chess - my game is bad in exactly the way my maths are bad; I never had any trouble understanding algebra, for instance, but always screwed up the arithmetic.  You could be so much better at this than me.

-Also, I was posting it at CFC  ;lol with the double whammy of throwing them some content in an inactive folder and doing some light promotion of AC2, 'cause I mentioned the circumstances of the game.

If you're serious about teaching chess I might take you up on that sometime, though.

Start with How To Play Chess, by yours truly, posted in Other Games.

-Annotating our game in depth wouldn't take long, and would also be edumacational.  Project for my to-do list.

Which is long.
