A Clash of Kings! A Chess Board.

[Thanatologist]

I got the idea after I played my first chess game in months.

Let's play a chess game on the forum one move at a time! (well that sounds kinda boring and this is probably not everyone's cup of tea, but whatever)

This is how we're gonna roll:
*Follow the rules of chess. Duh.
*We will play by having people post one move at a time. I will update the below image whenever I can (about once a day) so we can keep track more easily.
*We may not post moves twice in a row. This will avoid playing against oneself while giving more people a chance to take a turn.
*Don't lose on purpose. This will make it less fun for the players. We are, however, not limited to playing for just one side.
*Post moves in this format

Code:

<white/black>: <piece><square> to <square>

For eating/taking pieces use

Code:

<piece><square> x <square>

Pieces: Pawns will simply be denoted by whichever square they're from. Rooks/Castles will be R, Knights/Horses will be N, Bishops as B, Kings as K, and Queens as Q.

Sample move: Bc1 to g5

So, who wants to start?

[GameGuru]

a2 to a3

[Thanatologist]

c7 to c6

updated.

[Ud the Imp]

g1 to f3

[GameGuru]

Ud, you're supposed to type N for the Knight. Either way, f7 to f6

[Ud the Imp]

@GG: Really? O_o Never heard of THAT.

[Thanatologist]

@Ud: that's one of the usual chess move notations. I'm using a simplified version for this game (look at the OP).

d2 to d3

and updated.

[Ud the Imp]

f1 to e2

[romanmyth]

It looks like black missed a few turns, I have as notation:

e2 - e4 | a7 - a5
a2 - a3 | c7 - c6
Ng1- f3 | ???????
d2 - d3 | ???????
Bf1- e2

*EDIT* Also, the pic above shows b7 - b6 happening at some point.

[Thanatologist]

[f7 - f6] comes after [Ng1 - f3]

but yeah, black skipped a move. (don't have the time to update atm, maybe tomorrow)

[GameGuru]

It looks like black missed a few turns, I have as notation:

e2 - e4 | a7 - a5
a2 - a3 | c7 - c6
Ng1- f3 | ???????
d2 - d3 | ???????
Bf1- e2

*EDIT* Also, the pic above shows b7 - b6 happening at some point.

It's like this:

e2 - e4 | a7 - a5
a2 - a3 | c7 - c6
Ng1- f3 | b7 - b6
d2 - d3 | ???????
Bf1- e2

It's Ud's fault... He needed to move for Black not White.

[Ud the Imp]

I retract my previous move to do this:

Ra8 - a7

[romanmyth]

e2 - e4 | a7 - a5
a2 - a3 | c7 - c6
Ng1- f3 | b7 - b6
d2 - d3 | Ra8- a7
Bf1- e2

Is the bolded supposed to be for B row pawn, or the F row pawn real quick? I thought that was f7-f6.

[GameGuru]

It is the f row pawn... What the hell?

Eh, just keep it as is...

[Thanatologist]

I have mostly worked out what's wrong. Ud's already fixed his move, but I seem to have moved the b row pawn last time instead of the f row one. I can still change it, if need be.

Updated. Am currently keeping the b-pawn move. Should we change it to f-pawn?

[Ud the Imp]

*shrug*

I suggest you just scrap the thing, start over from scratch, and redo all the moves with my corrected action.

[romanmyth]

Game Guru doesn't seem to mind, so I say we keep it as-is, since you had the B-row pawn out the entire time anyway.

In any event, Bc1-f4

[Thanatologist]

Alright.

Nb8 to a6

Updated.

As this is a new page, to make it easier:
