Wasn't there a rule to say that the king's are supposed to start on their colours?

(white to move)

XG, can you support short algebraic notation in your script, like "1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.Bc4 Nb6" ? Move numbers are very useful for avoiding confusion.

FMC, perhaps you can parse that asterisk in your script and generate "white to move" as a part of the picture. How is it?

Done, just remember to put the asterisk to the right of the board.

Yeah, good, thanks! (but I prefer more calm font).

Why you did not move? I think black should be fine with c5 or d5 here... (I can't move twice in row, so just discussing - it's a team chess, right?)

[edit] Or, may be superstar4410 should move, it was his idea to go Alekhine, so perhaps he knows what to do.

I'll break it that record by starting a chess game with my cousin. We'll each move one piece now and the rest of them when we're 45. ;)

I did not know they had names for certain moves...(weird, why give a personal name to a move in a game with such simple rules and think that no one else would have ever thought of that move)...here's some reading:

Yes, i was waiting superstar, but since he doesn't post and probably i wont be able for all the next week (not that i'll loose that many moves :P), i'll give it a shot:

You don't give names to moves, you give names to openings. Usually the name of a player who made an extensive study of it (Aliekhin, Staunton) or the name of a place or country where the opening was (apparently) played often (Leningrader Variation). Or to indicate what you think of the opening (Orang-Utan, Fried Liver Variation).

That's 4... d5 (the fourth move by black).

That's 5.d4 ;) I also thought we have this rule to ensure team gameplay:

Every member of the team must post, no member can move twice in a row (there can be exceptions if both team members agree)

Classic? :) But it is now better than before, thanks!

A word of advice to my team mates: develop your pieces before you advance your pawns - especially if they're wing pawns.

Shouldn't you decide together as a team before you make a move? I don't see a lot of strategy in the game yet...

Kirr
Member #5,060

I would say that white equalized. :)

amarillion, no, that's the whole point. Otherwise we will get too serious. :) (It will also slow down the game a lot)

Yes, I think so - more or less. The Bishop on b3 is a bit weak but the pawn centre is solid. I don't like that black has been able to develop more light pieces though, but we'll see.
It's for fun anyway.

White's pawn center can be attacked with f7-f6 and c7-c5, it's still early to say if it's solid or not...

suggestions what do you think teammates:
N b1-d2
or
Nc3
or Nh4

Evert
Member #794

Nbd1

Here's why: Nc3 Nxb3, and recapturinc cxb3 weakens the pawnstructure. At some point, we may want to play c2-c3 to strengthen the d4 pawn if it comes under attack.
Nh4... well, it's just a bad idea to start attacking while not all your pieces are developed.

I'd also take a moment to consider possible ways to save the white bishop, but if it can't be helped, it can't be helped. Ba2 is probably a bad idea (but not nescessarily because of Nxa4).

EDIT

Yes. What I meant was, it's optically solid and if black doesn't do something about it, it might give white an advantage. But I think black clearly has the better position.
