Keiffer has been playing White and peary Black a lot lately, so this game mixes things up a little.

(Result adjudicated 1/4/2011.)
peary: It’s your (first) move.
YAY!
*stiffens*
This seemed like a better idea on paper. Oh dear.
A better idea on paper?
Yup. Ohhh I see what I did wrong….
If I moved my bishop one more space to the left it would’ve worked and have been a checkmate. Cake.
I just figured out why I’m failing at this chess game. I keep thinking I’m white, not black, and I click all the white pieces and don’t know why I can’t move them, then I accidentally hit one of the black ones and move it.
I shall attempt, and most likely fail, at doing a better job at this.
Keiffer,
By clicking on the button with the two curvy arrows, you can see the board from Black’s point of view.
(I wouldn’t say you’re failing at the game, by the way. You have White’s queen.)
I’ll try clicking the two curvy arrows, because I just did it again. Luckily I didn’t accidentally move my piece.
Agh. Too much traffic around the bishop and knight area.
Keiffer: Are you still playing this game?
What? Hi! Yes, I am. I didn’t realize a move had been made. Sorry.
* moves *
Hmm… the spiky one is the Queen right? *fails*
Yes, spiky = queen. Now it’s peary moppins’s move.
Ahh. Still waiting for that perfect frame.
Keiffer, m’dear?
Keiffer! Your move!
Why is your comment shown twice in RC?
Same words, different games.
Oh. Okay, then…KEIFFER!!! YOUR MOVE!
Sorry, sorry! I completely forgot this existed. There’s too much stuff being shoved into my tiny brain anyway! Sorry, peary! I’ll try to keep up!
peary: Keiffer has made her 16th move. For the next move, White has one possibility that is much better than any other and is worth looking for.
14) !
I see one very good possibility…but I’ll look a bit longer just in case.
AAUGH
Stalemate? Or checkmate?
Neither. Huh.
That’s right. Stalemate occurs when a player’s king is not in check but has no legal moves. Checkmate occurs when the king is in check and has no way out of it. In this case, Black’s king is in check but can get out of it. So: check but not checkmate, and certainly not stalemate.
(17. Bb4 was not White’s best move.)
17.2) Ahh. Not the right move.
hmm.
*rewinds board a bit*
Nf5? No/probably not, the black knight would just capture it…
Ne4? hmm.
I don’t think that I would move the other bishop (c4). Maybe I could’ve captured the rook though. Then the pawn would take my bishop.
I could’ve messed with the pawns, but I’m not sure that would’ve been right.
*ponder*
I think it has something to do with the knight at d4?
Anyways.
Wow, I have to say none of what you just said made sense to me.
(18) Well, what about that “hmm”?
19) Ne4….Which would probably make the king move to c5 (?) and then I would move my pawn up 2 spaces, which would cause the king to eat it, and then my bishop would eat the king?
Haha. The chessboard must be a very bloody place, with all the sliding around. hopping, and consuming.
peary: We were talking about your 17th move. The black king couldn’t have moved to c5, because your knight at e4 would have been attacking that square, too.
20.1) Oh! *smacks self* Cake.
Keiffer: Move reminder!
Yep! I came here as soon as I saw you telling Enceladus to move in the Recent Comments Bar!
Excellent! And now it’s peary’s move.
Keiffer: It’s your move again, both here and in your game with Errata.
Moved!
Keiffer, its your move again here, too.
Yep! Moving!
Most recent move: July 12.
Sorry. I haven’t actually been on lately. Moving now.
Aaugh. What to do…
That was a bad idea.
It was? Oh well.
