So for fun I checked wiki and there are quite a lot of ways to notate chess games. But if we stick with the standard notation we will be fine and it is easy to understand and follow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_notation

thanks for the link. I am obviously an old player who only knew the English notation system until now. I'm looking at the other link you gave trying to figure out how to do it that way, with the chess board pic. Been a busy day, and business demands took over the computer. . . . but that's good news.

Thanks Log for that link, it's very easy to use.

So, the last position is,

It's babe's(black) turn.

Nf6.

Ecta is probably in the wee hours of a normal night right now. . . . . sleeping like any sane man would do. . . .

I've got time to try to learn how to do those images of the game. . . .

Babe, I'll try to find the time to respond to your posts in the other thread, but for now, do you mind playing two chess matches at once? If so, I'd also like to play.

So apparently my attempted response before went into the ether/cosmos somehow.

I commented on my game with ECT, saying I used to play this start a lot in high school, against newbies mostly, and I could overcome the initial concession of the center with a careful defense in place, then while they wasted moves on the periphery I could assert control of the center.

I commented on your game with Log, saying it looked like something I have done a lot, but since decided when playing computers I can't afford to waste the move putting the bishop in that position only to have to retreat. . . .but wow, it looks like you might lose your knight now and then face a forked attack/check on the rook and the king with that bishop. . . .

I also said I think we might present an easier picture for novices to follow if we did a separate game thread for each match. . . .

anyway, I respond with d5.

1. Nf3, d5

We could break them apart if it would be of value. Maybe a mod could help.
