How do you play this?

he can't play with your illegal move.
You have had your fun.Must I declare a winner?
resign

 

[Kira]

Why is it illegal to move the rook to e3?

Sorry...you are right.

Its just your position is rather hopeless after you chop your last rook <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/frown.gif" border=0>

this seems all so confusing, do you play with a board in front of you? how do you state what you're moving and what does the + sign mean?

Thanks

<u>jc011.</u> Hi there! A lot of this is explained in this thread (at the top of the forum) . I recommend you read it. However to answer your question directly, you (usually) specify the type of the piece you want to move and the place it's moving to. So "Re3" means move a Rook to square e3. Sometimes it needs to be more complex than that, but only to avoid ambiguity. The "+" sign means that that move places the opposing king in check.

When you ask about playing with a board in front of us, the answer is yes. Most of us keep the game's position in some form (like a portable chess set) and perhaps even transfer the game to a large board where we can experiement by moving stuff around before posting the move to the forum.

<u>Everyone else:</u> It would be really nice to see GenghisK and Kira play this game through. However, if the game goes as Smash suggests (35 Re3 Rxe3 36 Kxe3) I would be interested in GK actually posting details of what strategy he is going to use to win. Because if he picks the right strategy, Kira won't be able to stop him winning even if he tells her beforehand what he is going to do.

It's clear, Kira askes GK to sacrifice his rook. And Gk likes such things, so.....But there's no threat for GK, he'll just beat her, but he better do it quick, 'cause this is getting boring.

Sorry everyone for the delay, I was busy preparing my graduation. Now it's done. I got my degree yesterday, the 4th <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/grad.gif" border=0><IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/grad.gif" border=0> Yeah yeah <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/biggrin.gif" border=0>
Anyway, allow me today to get back in the game. I totally lost memories about it. Need to take my save back and analyse the situation. Will edit and make my move tonight...


Edit:
So be it. You are all bored. Then I will slay the beast.

Stormerne, here's your apprentice's final strategy.

Re3 Rxe3
Kxe3
(logically, otherwise she's even dead quicker)
Now she can't/shoudn't move her king over the d column to hunt for my c pawn. Otherwise her f pawn is condemned and soon shall be the 2 others.
If she moves her a pawn a3 or a4, my rook will deal with it too.
So the wisest for her would be to move her king e2 of f2. Then I will move my rook Rd4 and then whatever she does, I'll advance my f pawn f4. From there, her king is condemned since she won't be able to move her king e3 anymore to threaten my rook once I have advanced my c pawn to queening. Once I've queened, the sentence will fall soon. Even though I can change my pawn for a rook instead of a queen, that won't change much. Stormerne, I think I answered your question.

Now Kira, do you still want a proof and go on or have I convinced you?

Since I have not visited this forum (or this thread) for one and half months, I was suprised to see this game is still afoot! Kira seems a rather tenacious player, but alas, the end really is at hand when GK takes her last rook, LOL

. An entertaining game to the end...

 

[GenghisK]

Actually, Starlifter, I wanted the game to last even longer, just wanted to toy with the mouse

Apparently it has become boring so I decided to apply the sentence right now. Hence my last post, concerning my lethal strategy...

 

[Kira]

Your king is on g5, how do you want to do Kxe3???

 

[GenghisK]

I was talking about YOUR king, Kira, your king that will take my rook once I took yours...

 

[Kira]

Oh, yes, I think I was still sleeping when I posted that.....

Kxe3, yes

 

[GenghisK]

Nah, just say the truth without lying, Kira. You weren't sleeping. You were just blonde, that's all <img src="icon12.gif" border="0"> <br />Ok, anyway, it's over. Now it's time for me to think at something else... Some new projects.
