Poly chess ch. group 1 - ljcvetko vs Harry Seldon

[Ljube]

Let's start the game.
Do we play two games in one round (each of us white and black)?

1. Nf3

Is this the sign for knight?

K - king
Q - queen
R - rook
B - bishop
N - knight

Am I right?
I use serbian notation usually.

[MichaeltheGreat]

It's one game, so far, so there's five games in each group of six players. Your notation for English is correct. Since you're replacing zorbop, the games have been worked out by Sir Ralph in a table in the join us now thread.

The rest of your games would be:

Sir Ralph - you
you - Jaguar Warrior
me - you
you - muxec

[Harry Seldon]

1. Nf3 d5

I use Winboard to doublecheck my notation and I'm not afraid to ask if I have a question. Bring it.

You probably wanted to play 6...Nxc6.
If that is the case and you misspelled, we can replay our last two moves.

[Harry Seldon]

I'll admit that may have been a better move in the long run, but I felt confident with bxc6 when I played it and I'd hate to take a mulligan even if it saves the day. It's just one more reminder to pay attention before making a move. Thanks for the offer, though.
