You moved my piece. - Reverted -GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | Chess | E-mail 18:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

What to do next[edit]

Playing the Knights has been fun and productive, but once we take the Rook, we won't have much offensive pressure left. The question will be how to open up the back to get some more pressure on white. Ideas? --NThurston 13:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

How about resigning. (only joking!) --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 13:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm thinking g7, try to get the bishop out and a rook to the f-file; that will make White's king position untenable. Haukur 15:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
That's one good idea. Also, what about Qe5 or Qf6 to allow the Knight out of the corner? BTW, I don't play chess much, but you had left a very strong position when I started making moves. --NThurston 15:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Whoever moved the pawn blew it. I don't think we anticipated the Kg1 move in the discussion above. The correct response should have been Queen to e1, forking the King and bishop and forcing the King out front. However, I don't think this is an unrecoverable error. --NThurston 13:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
That King move was a very bad mistake. I was a bit tired, and not thinking straight. Thank God for IP users. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 20:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Now you've got me wondering what comes next, because none of this was something I foresaw. --204.113.19.8 22:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Would you be interested in www.gamesbyemail.com? If so, one of us will need the other's e-mail address. --NThurston 12:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Turns out that moving the knight out front wasn't a bad move. It was lost anyway, but moving it out front changed the pawn dynamic allowing the queen access to the 3rd row. --NThurston 16:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Kb1-d2 might have been something for you to consider. Anyway, I would rather play through gamesbyemail.com. If you are interested, let me know so I can get you details on how that could work. --NThurston 13:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
If I played Nb1-d2 (assuming you meant the Knight), then Black could play Rh1, which would also have been checkmate. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 13:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
