in June 6th, 2009 @ 14:40Why’s it called “Eterna-ment?” I appreciate the nifty pun, but what’s eternal about it?

in June 8th, 2009 @ 11:43(7) I’m afraid not, RQ. Piggy can’t move his king out of check, but he can still get out of check by blocking your bishop.

in June 12th, 2009 @ 01:23Not doing so well, eh, RoseQuartz? Sorry, I probably have more experience than you at chess. I was one of a four-way tie for first place in our third-grade chess tournament (not sure how that happened).
Hm. I learned a lot in third grade. Cursive, multiplication, long division, and, thanks to an excellent teacher, chess. Plus the teacher gave out free books as rewards to well-behaved students. I got her all-time record–fourteen books over the course of the year. I think I still have them all, too.

Sheesh, I’m terrible at this.

in June 16th, 2009 @ 13:17RoseQuartz and others playing Black:
Just in case you haven’t discovered it yourself, the fifth button from the left (the one with the two curved arrows) lets you flip the board so you see it from Black’s point of view.

in June 16th, 2009 @ 15:03Alas for Black! 15. … Qg3 would have been checkmate. Both of you have to be more careful.

in June 29th, 2009 @ 09:08Why 23. Qxc3 instead 23. Qxd6 with checkmate on the next move? Patience isn’t always a virtue.

in July 2nd, 2009 @ 10:3224. Qe7 would have been checkmate. Often a queen supported by a bishop is all you need to “smother” the king.
