BTW, Zero, I'm leaving for vacation on the 21st, and my wife would be pissed if I took my chess board with me. So we'll have to take a break for about a week then. IP: Logged |

Yes I'm still here. I've been traveling a lot and taking care of various business/personal things lately - so I've been kept away from a chessboard. But don't worry, I'm still thinking about our game. And I must say I'm flattered that you respect my ches splaying. Thanks for the compliment. I think you may be the better player, but glad to know we're somewhat on the same level. IP: Logged |

Hey, Zero. I guess no one is watching our game anymore. Do you have any guesses as to where the duh-duh's are from? I'm actually just posting this to remind you that it's your move, but I'm trying to be subtle. IP: Logged |

Yeah I have a hard time with instrumentation being written in word form. I do it too ... I'll be chatting witha friend and have a song in my head and just type it out sometimes. "Dun, dun, dunna nunna nuna ... dun, dun, dunna nunna na!" But it's a language that's rather hard to interpret. Anyway, I must say you've been exeplary with your patience and I promise you that vary shortly I'll be finished with this circuit of business travels and work - and then I'll be able to continue the game unimpeded. Unfortunately I don't have a travelling chessboard IP: Logged |

It's alright about the traveling - just didn't know if you had forgotten our game or if something had happened to you. The music notation is from The Six-Million Dollar Man slow-mo track. When do you think you'll get back in town? IP: Logged |

Zero was writing the music to Iron Man. No? Do I get a second guess? Sorry for sticking my nose in here. Sounded like an invitation was printed above.

Part of Zero's sounds like I Love Rock N' Roll by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, but I don't think it is. It does sound familiar though, especially the last part. Is it 80's? IP: Logged |

My first memory of chess is actually from on old TV series called Family Affair which I watched as a toddler. There was a butler, named Mr. French, played by Sebastian Cabot, who went on to narrate The early Winnie the Pooh movies. Anyway, he played chess by mail with a friend in England. I don't remember if this was an ongoing thing or just one episode, but for some reason it stood out in my mind. Each move must have taken about a month back in those days. I tried this once while I was in college, before the Internet, and we got through about 5 moves before we decided to call it quits. My opponent was the most intelligent person I have ever known. He was attending a college in Nevada where only 15 to 20 students were accepted each year and sheep-herding was part of the required curriculum. IP: Logged |

I was in a chess club in high school---I was good, but not that good compared to the Grand Masters. (For one thing, I've never got the hang of "resigning," and usually played the games out to the end, even when they were lost.) As for our noises-off contest, I'll see your boom-boom-boom-ba-boom, and raise you a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh... IP: Logged |

My 4 year old son likes to take the king and then keep playing; whoever gets ALL the other guy's pieces wins. He plays both sides of the board if no one is available to play with him. And now he wants to go to a chess club. I didn't expect his fascination with the game to continue full steam... IP: Logged |

As a child, I would also play against myself. I would almost always win from the opposite side I started on. [This message has been edited by philocinemas (edited December 14, 2008).] IP: Logged |

Zero, I had anticipated that move as a possibility, and I am very tempted to respond with a move of my own. However, I am not in front of my chessboard at this moment, and I'd be afraid to make a grave mistake at this juncture of the game. I will be working late tonight, so don't expect a move until after 8PM. IP: Logged |

Zero, I commend you on an excellent move. I've looked at all my options in great detail. I had one move that would have given me a remote chance of coming out on top (depending on your response). However, I have decided to take the safer route (dxc4). This puts me one piece up, but without my queen. I am fairly confident that this move will eventually put us in stalemate. Please look this over - if you think you have a chance to break through my defense, we can continue. I honestly do not see how you could do it without sacrificing more king's row pieces or taking the greater part of next year. Please take your time and let me know what you decide - I don't want to pressure you either way. 1. e4 e5 IP: Logged |

I think the defense can be broken. Either way, give me a little bit of time to consider my move. I want to fight this out to the end. But props for the clever move. IP: Logged |
