I'll play as black. Or both, unless you want to play multiple games against different people. (And I can just edit your post, because I'm l33t like that.) I'm a bit rusty and have been meaning to get back into chess.

1. ...c5

Sure thing, just start a thread.

He doesn't *have* to, but it would be less confusing. I'll leave that up to him. As well as whether he wants white or black. If I'm white, 1. d4.

Garnasha: 4. ...Nf6

bubka:

Code: Select all

[chess][White mith][Black bubka]
1. d4 a6
2. e4
[/chess]

You can just add moves in Algebraic notation... the chess tags are l33t like that.

(And 2. e4 is my move, not just an example.)

I've run chess tournaments on the GL before, and would be happy to do one here. (We've had a knockout or two here actually, but I didn't participate as I disliked the format.)

Dunno. Elo isn't very useful for a small number of rated games anyway.

8. ...Bd7

I haven't played at all in a while.

10. ...Nxe4

I never really played rated games much. I mostly used to play face-to-face, or on forums.

11. ...Bxd4

We didn't have one at the school I went to... thought about starting one, but never did.

When I taught a few years ago, I got my students playing chess regularly. But I was significantly better than all of them.

Garnasha, please post when you move. I don't check the thread otherwise.

Considering calling it a win...

(I've prodded Garnasha btw. He even responded, but has failed to move.)
