Should be fun & prod the brain a bit. If anyone can figure out how to post a board so the moves can be shown please go ahead and do it. Thanks.

 

Let the game begin...

 

1. P-e4

[blutach]

Hmmmm. Tough move.

 

Maybe c5? Perhaps c6? Or even d5 or e6?

 

Nah - we start off easy. 1. ...e5

2. Nf3

[blutach]

2. ...Nc6 yawn

 

In order to show the moves, we'd need to play on the chess servers - but I doubt the games could be held open for days on end. You do need special software to show the pieces.

There are a couple online chess sites that you two or any of us could get on together and play a few games.

Gonna take it off with the QN? Thought I'd get the Ruy out of the way and play an English Pc4 next up with white...

 

Cool loco - you play?

So you refuse my gambit? Don't like the Marshall? Shame - it's a fun game and if you play well, you can keep the pawn.

thought it was the Marshall gambit - 1924 was it? just don't like pawn snatching in the opening..

[blutach]

Right. Frank Marshall, US Champion.

QxN

[blutach]

PxN was better (gets a pawn in the cente and doesn't expose the Q).

 

Bb7 and good night.
