David versus Goliat...

[Carolus Rex]

The champ: Julius Brenzaida
The challenger: Carolus Rex

Who is David and who is Goliat is left as an exercise to the reader's fantasy.

Thanks for the advice about putting pieces in the right squares, Julius. However, you need not worry. I have grown up with this notation, it is the anglo-saxian notation that is incomprehensible to me. Hence the following statement:

"I, Carolus Rex, do hereby solemny declare that any bad moves in the upcoming game with Julius Brenzaida are completely and utterly the result of bad judgement and lack of chess skill. They will have nothing whatsoever to do with misreading notation!"

If anyone of you still are not satisfied with this and insist on blaming my bad moves on notation controversies, then I pick the 5th amandment!

I also pick white.

Prepare to do battle.

"En garde!"

Mmm, it's moving fast ! Please let me finish to drink my cup of champaign to celebrate my victory against kcbob before I play my first move.

[Carolus Rex]

Certainly!

BTW, this game will not progress as fast as the previous one. I have a tight schedule right now and my free time goes to my number one addiction... Civ MP!

It may even take two or three days for a move, just so you know.

Instead you choose the French Defense against un francais! Oui, c'est vrai. Je suis né en France!

(Yes, I know about the cedille that goes with the c in francais. I just don't know how to type it with my keyboard.)

Maybe I lied when I posted the Swedish names for the pieces...

I can just see it now!

Carolus wonders how Julius' knight, after being damaged in the battle with Carolus' pawn, managed to defeat his bishop as well. Said bishop being fortified on 50% defensive bonus terrain (ie: the black squares)!
