in September 19th, 2009 @ 10:46After bookgirl_me moves, you’ll see her move on the board, and then you’ll be able to make your own move.

in September 22nd, 2009 @ 22:21Yupitera: We make a chessboard when two people want to play. If you can find a partner, we’ll make one for you. We even have two kinds of nonstandard chess, and others are possible.

in October 10th, 2009 @ 06:40I guess it’s when you think: “Ah, yes, this is perfect!”, that’s when you mess up. Or at least I do.

in November 2nd, 2009 @ 18:42I just “watched” this chess game — it was really interesting! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game that has that much pawn movement (in that way, anyway).

in November 2nd, 2009 @ 21:35bookgirl_me: 14. Nxe5 would have been stronger than dxe5. You’d have been able to move your queen to h5 or attack the king with the rook (later, rooks) on the open e file.

in November 3rd, 2009 @ 01:5617- Hmm… I recall leaving the Knight in place so that I could attack the Queen if something went badly and cover the Bishop. But it was kind of pointless, since mas0n moved his queen anyway.

in November 3rd, 2009 @ 05:44It’s more important to attack the king. Inner Morphy, remember?

in November 3rd, 2009 @ 05:52It seems to be my problem in most games- I’m too overcautious.

in November 3rd, 2009 @ 06:51That can be an effective strategy: build a sound position, avoid major mistakes, and wait for your opponent to make a bad move. If your opponent opens up a weakness for you, though, it’s good to know how to exploit it. You might not get another chance.
If I were teaching chess or coaching a chess team, I think I’d post big signs saying “IT’S THE KING, STUPID.” It’s amazing how people tend to forget that.
