Title: Chess Game #1: Gate Troll vs. Witchkingx5, Sicilian Defence, Najdorf Variation
Post by: Gate Troll on July 20, 2010, 09:50:56 PM
Call me a nerd, but I've always enjoyed playing chess. So I was wondering, does anyone want to play over the internet using notation?

For the sake of starting a game, I'll take White:

1. e4

Facebook has a great chess application. That and Zynga poker are the only reasons I use FB.

Just thought I'd mention it incase you guys are interested and haven't found the chess ap yet.

Unfimaliar? That was a book move! But yours definitely was not...

I can still do it now! 16... e5.

Just to say: your move doesn't deserve an exclamation mark: Even if you play it 100% corrctly, you only get a dead equal position. even 19. check (I won't say which piece you can use then, maybe you won't do it at all) doesn't give you a that big advantage. Your pawn structure is pretty much destroyed, and if you follow the right moves, I will have a very strong center in the end. But you'll reach at least equal material, then.

If 17. Bxd7, Bxd7 is my premove. If you wanna do that, you can already post your 18th move.

And so I have. Fire away, Witch King.

lol, when I first saw this move, I was like "You're using an engine, right?" Ur last move seem waay too devious for a usual player, and the opening was also played more than correct. I was playing all out of my mind, but i'm not sure if you also didn't use any databases etc... I was analyzinh that last position for like an hour and didn't find Qb6. But anyway, I'll trust you for now, and I play:
