I don't understand why you didn't do k8. Would've lengthened game by a couple of moves.

Edit: Did you edit your post? There was only 'k7' when I made my response. I guess great minds think alike. Haha.

Good game either way.

 

[babe]

good game.

The value of chess is the integrity it teaches. There are rules, and you make your moves, and sometimes see the consequences. . . . all in glaringly objective terms.

I get used to my own little set of viewpoints, and the people I play. It's good to find better people to play against.

The value of an exercise like that discussed about Bobby Fisher above is the way it can train your mind.

So if I have a cheap computer game to play against, I can learn what it does and then plan on it. I know it fails in the pawn end game, and I can "trick" it to do some things that will result in a pass pawn with the one move edge I need to make it a queen and recover the sacrifice.

For a while I think I was only one move from being able to force you into a checkmate plight in front of your pawn row. You didn't allow me to do it.

I always have some difficulty moving into something that is not set in my usual framework. . . . a new chessboard, a new opponent, playing black when I sorta spent too much time playing white for a while. . . . .new computer manipulations. But that is why I need to do it. . . . .

 

[babe]

yes

I started to make the move by the King along the back row, and then worried about something else and forgot about the Knight and moved. I might have started to type the better move but I posted the worse one, and found a conflict in the post, which I edited, leaving the worse move that I actually made. Gotta teach myself to stick to my moves. Then I'll do better thinking in the first place.

 

[Siro]

Well, now that you are a little more familiar with my game, I'm sure you'll do better next time.

I'm looking forward to another chance to just do a game. Now it's time to go bale the hay that was cut some days ago.

 

[franklin]

well, I was referring to my gaffe looking at my black position upside down and getting disoriented into thinking the black King was the black Queen. At this point, I think I'm the joke.

that's what I was referring to, but esplaining one takes all the steam out of it.


I might hit up the old boards for a refresher to see if I can hang with you wannabe bad as swaddling *****. I haven't played in 15+ years and this thread tickled my outer sphincter.

 

[fishonjazz]

Shoot me now...

Lol

 

[fishonjazz]

In the pictures is the king the one that looks like a hat that the pope would wear?

 

[Siro]

That's the bishop. The king is the one that looks like a crown.

Hello Enes. . . .

I haven't spent this much time on a computer in ages. I don't know what all has gone wrong. . . . that link that generates the images has got me worried. All my links ended up picking up and being taken over by that link. This is the computer we use in my business to do online sales. So it's plan B for our game. I had to delete the link to JF forum. I got slaughtered by Siro, and I'd like to be able to turn the board around and see it from the usual perspective. . . . ha ha well, this is going to change me.

Can you handle the pics if I just give my moves? If you can, I'll make a run on this game right now.

OK, well. . . . I'm gonna get some sleep. Our "jet lag" gap is gonna keep us about one move a day, I expect.

 

[fishonjazz]

That's the bishop. The king is the one that looks like a crown.

I only see a white piece that looks like a crown.

I knew you were the Queen.

 

[babe]

On a real chess set, the King is a little taller, and has a little "cross" on the top. The Bishop does not have that cross, and is shorter than both the King and Queen. It will have a tapered cap and a little tiny ball at the top. In a visual diagram, the multi-pointed tiara-type "crown" is the Queen's crown. The King has a crown that looks heavier and has no tiara "points". I've been reviewing these subtleties because I got confused myself. . . . lol.

 

[babe]

Don't needle him unless you want a relationship. j/k

 

[One Brow]

Having seen the level Siro and Loggrad98 play at, I'm fairly sure they are better than I. I might be able to compete with babe and EnesCanTearYouApart.

Still, I'll play anyone who wants to play, and I'm happy to take either color.

Thanks.
I thought that the queen was the king in these pictures
