h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Okay, I'm gonna be a regular here whether you like it or not! Anyway, what coffee shop is complete without a guy staring at a chess board for two hours without doing anything? I'll be that guy. Anyone up for a game? I'll only play one person at a time, and because I'm extremely selfish, I want to be white for this game. I play by the USCF rules, so once you touch a piece, you have to move it! Now, set up your board (remember, I only play against the first person who signs up, and I might take a while to respond.) Now that the board's set up, I'll make my first move: d4. For those of you who aren't familiar with algebraic chess notation, I just move the pawn in front of the queen forward two spaces. Now, first come first serve, so hurry up. Make yer move!

I'm getting my board and figuring out algebraic notation. I'll be along in a bit.

Okay, a classic 'mirrored pawn.' Havin' fun yet? I think I'm gonna play. . . Nf3! Ha!

I should warn you that I haven't played in a while

Are you afraid yet?

I haven't played in a while either, so I thought the best challenge would be in a coffee shop. That's where I've played a good deal of my chess. I learned a lot of chess in coffee shops, too, but I'm afraid I've started forgetting a bit of it. I really need to start playing more often. Anyways, :

C3. I know, I know, I'm suicidal. I hold the patent on bad moves.

I'm not sure if you are suicidal or just crazy enough to do it. But .....

Come to think of it, I'm not sure either. Anyways,

Tricky devil

Merry New Year, it looks like everything survived, and

Kudos. That move is. . . confusing. I wonder if. . . no, probably not. Anyways, I'm not sure if this is what I should be doing, but:

Re1. En Guarde!

Qf6

have at you

I just took half an hour to replay that game so far *lol* this tells you how "good" I am at chess....
but this gives a great coffee-shop athmosphere, any of you wanting some coffee with that?

kats-eyes -

Thanks for stopping by. What do you think of the game so far? I think I have him on the run

A nice cup of tea or some hot cocoa would be great.
