Dennis, the position you show is totally lost for white (red), even without en passant. I wonder why pawns and bishops look so similar in your diagram, it must be quite hard to play or analyze with program like that. Quote: Ugh, I do hate coordenates. Why people can't use ye olde P5A (that may be P5B, since alfil in spanish is bishop in english)?
There are two Bishop squares, how you disambiguate between f5 and c5? I think it's lucky that most people don't use descriptive notation anymore, or may be I'm also too young to like it. All chess publications in my country (Russia) are done in algebraic notation for the last 100 years at least. So I'm in "naval battle" camp. Quote: Main thing I hate about the navy battle coordenates is that you cannot see at a first glimpse if you took a piece or not. With the old notation, you can easily see what is happening with the x, +, ++, !, !!, ?, ??, 0-0, 0-0-0, ap and all those shortcuts. Do this system also use them?
Sure! -- |

I think using R for Rook (tower) and N for Knight (horse) is much more popular in English language. Anyway, I also made one (asterisk means side to move):

Well, it's obvious what happend here. You can avoid this by letting your cleric (or druid) buff you before combat. He should also have a cure spell ready in case the HP of one of your party members are dropping below 0. Couldn't have said it better myself. ------------ |

Purely psychological warfare i think.:P (Black's k and q are correctly placed. It's always "white queen->white field, black queen->black field" and the field in the lower right is white.) --- 0xDB | @dennisbusch_de --- |

Eh... you did see that rook on g4, right? No, i accidantially set up my real chess board wrong and put it on g5 but that's of course not to be taken as an excuse that i have lost but merely a poor explaination on why i was able to move h5-f3...:P --- 0xDB | @dennisbusch_de --- |

Quote: I guess somebody complained that was not fair, because that would allow you to avoid getting slayed just like you were trying to do right here. So that is why the en passant rule was introduced. I've been told that it was introduced to prevent the board from becoming blocked up in the end game, eg (pawns only {x, y}, so that we can see the difference): . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . x . . . . x . . y . x . . y . . . x y . x . . . . y . . y . . . . . . . . . .

OK, I'll stick on the dark side... There is also FEN notation for cases when you need more compact representation. Current position would look like this in it: Quote: Didn't Mike Jensen set up a site where you could play chess against eachother? It is mostly abandoned now, even by him. It's nice site, but it lacks some basic features, like possibility to draw offer or to resign. As a result games must last until the checkmate, which is quite painful to see (or participate). -- |

Have you ever tried to blind (sp?) or blitz (sp?)? I can blitz somewhat, but I get lost after the opening when blind -- |
