Rec Commons Chess Tournament - Prelim: Pande vs. Geo

[Drogue]

Ok. Play is simple: Post your moves here. Any notation you agree on. Post all moves, and bold the latest one. For example:

e4 e5
d4 xd4

With xd4 being the current move.

First one to post is white.

This is an official thread, do not spam. I'll GM it, unless there are any objections, which simply means keeping track of the positions, and solving any disputes, should they arise (which is doubtful).

[GeoModder]

Pawn: E7-xE6

[Drogue]

Serf?

Geo is white. If you need to read on notation this could help: http://misc.traveller.com/chess/begi.../notation.html

Geo's move first.

[Pandemoniak]

e2-e4

edit : er... e7-e6 is not a legal move, its a black pawn. my move isnt valid either, its a white pawn. Lets start it all over again

[Drogue]

Also, you only post the square you move to.

For instance, e2-e4 is simply e4. If it can be two or more pieces, then you post the column it started on, such as ee4, or fNe4 for a knight on the f rank moving to square e4.

AFAIK both notations are allowed. The longer one is handier for finding the mistake just in case you made a writing error.

[Drogue]

Whichever notation they wish to use is fine with me.

Geo: Your move first, starting fresh.

Game on

[Pandemoniak]

Waiting for the first shot...

[GeoModder]

Ok, I'll start again, sorry for the mistake.
Been quite a while since I played.
I prefer the longer notation, and I continue to include the piece I move for clarity.

Pawn: c2-xc3

[Drogue]

Geo: I'm not sure what notation you're using (could you give me a link to an explanation) but in most I know an x signifies a take, which is impossible on the first turn.

If you using that notation, please bold the whole part of your move, and do not bold the previous moves that have been made.

[Pandemoniak]

e7-e5

[Drogue]

Can you post the previous moves please, so we can keep track. For instance Pande's would be:

1. c2-c3 e7-e5

And for example, if Geo's next move was Ng1-Nf3, then he would put:

1. c2-c3 e7-e5
2. Ng1-Nf3

But hey, however you want

[Pandemoniak]

Ok :b

My, Pande, we have a real arbiter here. And thanks for the tip, Drogue

1. Pawn: c2-c3 pawn: e7-e5
2. Knight: g1-f3

[Pandemoniak]

This was actually a trap :

1. c2-c3 e7-e5
2. Ngi-f3 e5-e4
