This thread is for the purpose of playing and discussing a communal game of Chess.
Notation
We are using the rank and file identifications shown in the link. We are not using standard PNG notation, instead we are using a slightly expanded form to encourage more shippies to participate.
Moves will be posted in the following format:
quote:
1. White - Pawn to e4: Black - Pawn to e5
2. White - Pawn to f3: Black - Pawn to f6
The move you are making in the post, is in bold. After the tenth pair of moves is made, the next post will start with a gamestate link to the previous post with ten rounds in, and then proceed with round 11 - thus later posts will look like this:
quote:
Gamestate
11. White - King Castles (Kingside): Black - Bishop to a1 taking Rook
Thread Etiquette
- Anyone can post a move
- You can chose to post moves for only one colour - but you can change between colours if you like.
- Please don't post two consecutive moves - i.e. do not post a move by one side and its response by the other.
- We would prefer that no more than three moves for one colour are made by the same poster before another person posts a move for that colour.
- If no one posts a move for 24 hours, guidance on consecutive posts is trumped by the need for momentum and anyone may post the next move.
- Good natured discussion and analysis of the ongoing game is encouraged.
People may find this site helpful to follow the game, or you can always use an actual chess set ...

I've been playing chess for 60 years and I've never played the Tchigorin Defence or against it. Like the trial game, we're in uncharted waters, for me at least, by move 3!

Sorry to be so anal about the formatting, but I think when we are effectively typing long lines of code uniformity will make it much easier to follow. Particularly in any situation where we have to disambiguate or change a previous move due to a typo or misunderstanding.

6. White - Pawn takes Knight on c3
[I might suggest we follow the pattern of (4) not (5) and don't write the color of a target piece as it'll never be in doubt and that makes it easier to scan quickly and see each color written just once in each line.]

Fair point, I can go with that. (I have no idea why your last move is not bolded, as your code looks right.)
OIC - we were both looking at your post code at the same time.

I looked up the 1889 World Championship Steinitz against Tchigorin. They played 17 games, with only one draw ! That's a lot different from what happens these days.

Question on the rules: quote:
You can chose to post moves for only one colour - but you can change between colours if you like.
This seems rather contradictory. I see Doublethink has made moves for both sides in the same game. If this allowable, what does "You can chose to post moves for only one colour" mean? Are you saying we can't post two consecutive moves (one for black for white) at the same time?

I was saying you don't have to pick a side, but you can if you want to.

What else were you considering on move 2 Barnabas ? I just assumed you would play d5 as the only other move I found mentioned on the internet was e5 which was too obscure a variation to have its own wikipedia page.
I tried playing a few moves as white against the computer on Apronus to see what it would do, and after I played 6 b x c3, it went for Q d6 then Q g6 which put me under a bit of pressure.

No worries
I think I've used up my three moves. Once again, this is the board.

Where you thinking about playing
12. … : Black - pawn to b6?
I think that would have been a bad move at this point.
(When I'm analysing moves instead of playing them, I put them in italics just to be sure.)

I think White's white-squared bishop is potentially lethal in this position and I would have played Black KxB myself. In fact I did but DT got in first! Switching to play White was a no-brainer!

Yeah, I think I would too.
Instead of moving that Bishop to where it is now, you could have taken the pawn at g6 for free, breaking down the Black king's barrier even more. But the bishop would have less of this dangerous mobility there than it does now. It's a trade-off.
