We should be posting the position after first 10 moves and later after five moves, but pictures don't seem to work correctly any more.

So far I have been using attachment feature to post images, but people say there is another way to do it (upload images or something). Do you know the procedure?

[Zopperoni]

What's wrong with attachments?

Upload feature is here. You can upload your images there, and then use the BBcode for linking images ([img][/img]) or use HTML image linking to have the files displayed.

[Jaguar]

Ouch.

Sorry I'm not giving you much of a match. I have very little time because school has started and I'm taking 7 classes, 4 of which are honors and two of which are AP.

No problem Jag, as long as you keep playing

1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4 cxd4
4. Nd4 d5
5. Nc6 bxc6
6. exd5 cxd5
7. Bb5 Bd7
8. Qd5 Qa5
9. Nc3 Bxb5
10. Qxa8 Qd8
11. Qxd8

If you won't mind the advice from an elderly player, you went outside of usual opening paths when you played 6...cxd5 instead of 6...Qxd5. From that point on, your position kept deteriorating.

You should study your book of openings

If 12. Nxb5, then 12. ...a6

I appreciate this Dr. Spike's stile of playing conditional moves in correspondence chess.

Look Jag, if you need any more help on the graphics cards you should try the websites like

Tom's Hardware

or

Anand Tech

and many others.

Just type in hardware reviews in your search machine and you'll get plenty of websites featuring benchmarks and reviews.

What I can tell you is that nVidia is cheaper than ATI, but I don't play that kind of games so I can't really give you the advice on which particular model you may need.
