I knew you were the Queen.

Don't needle him unless you want a relationship. j/k

Having seen the level Siro and Loggrad98 play at, I'm fairly sure they are better than I. I might be able to compete with babe and EnesCanTearYouApart.

Still, I'll play anyone who wants to play, and I'm happy to take either color.

I only see a white piece that looks like a crown.

On a real chess set, the King is a little taller, and has a little "cross" on the top. The Bishop does not have that cross, and is shorter than both the King and Queen. It will have a tapered cap and a little tiny ball at the top. In a visual diagram, the multi-pointed tiara-type "crown" is the Queen's crown. The King has a crown that looks heavier and has no tiara "points". I've been reviewing these subtleties because I got confused myself. . . . lol.

Thanks.
I thought that the queen was the king in these pictures

You can go ahead and start a game if you'd like.

Hello Enes. . . .

I haven't spent this much time on a computer in ages. I don't know what all has gone wrong. . . . that link that generates the images has got me worried. All my links ended up picking up and being taken over by that link. This is the computer we use in my business to do online sales. So it's plan B for our game. I had to delete the link to JF forum. I got slaughtered by Siro, and I'd like to be able to turn the board around and see it from the usual perspective. . . . ha ha well, this is going to change me.

Can you handle the pics if I just give my moves? If you can, I'll make a run on this game right now.

No problem I can do the pictures but I don't know how that can will help you, I could only post the images when I make a move I assume you will use a real board? I can't follow you to be honest

Btw, by Pb5, I'm sure you mean pawn to b5, and in this case you don't have to use any initials to indicate it's pawn, so you can just write b5 So this is the board after your move.

But if you have indeed have big problem with the white perspective, you can always hit the "Flip the board" button on that chess diagram page, just before generating the diagram.

And here is the board from the black's perspective, after my move which is Qd2.

Enes did a better job developing his pieces.

The Queen's Gambit Accepted is my most hated opening in chess. In either leads to **** development, or an exchange of queens early in the game, which is seriously lame.
