I would Like to Play someone In the Mid 1600's or Higher

[stormerne]

Your move surprises me. If (from the above diagram) you had played what I believe was your strongest move 29. Nc4, I would have replied 29...Nd7!? which leads to a fascinating unbalanced endgame of my 2 Rooks + Knight + 5 pawns against your Rook + 2 Knights + Bishop + 4 pawns.

I had prepared all that after you played your 25th move. But now it is lost forever and will live on only in this note. Paradoxically, far from resting or recuperating, I was about to spice things up, and it is <u>your</u> move that relaxes the pressure for me!

Because of that the bet is now up to 50

To our audience: Hey guys, give Green a break! I tell you, he's still playing really well.

Don't underestimate him: I'm certainly not doing. For example, my 23rd move was a really good one and perhaps worthy of a '!' after it, but his reply was also good and also worthy of a '!'. So I reckon things are still finely balanced and it's certainly too early to tell the result of this game, especially as we're both still trying to win rather than draw.

On with the game. I'll take your continuation and fill the vacated square with a rook...

With that "hey guys give us a break" don't put me in the same boat as that jackass!
I was trying to tell him that his post was just RUDE!
If he posts like that again I will give him a swirlly!
I am much bigger than him

Yeah this one is very close, The bet may be 100 before it's over..

Chess really isn't a good game to bet on though guys.... It's said to be a Royal Game and much too prestigious to rest in the arms of gambling.

I'll show my support for Johan/Green whatever his name is..hehe

GO BABY GO
He is an awesome man, who kicks my ass in chess constantly. . .I seem to only be able to kill his king when he's drank too much ale. Remind me to slip something in his drink more often!

 

[The Green Destiny]

Thx Babe, for you support.
I do love to play you while consuming our wonderful Ale!!!
Make the games interesting.....
Now back to business....You move Sir?

Nothing is above gambling

I mean even life is a gamble, In fact its the biggest gamble of all!

and you know chess used to be played with dice.

when it origanated in India.

My apologies, I have been ill for a few days and had totally lost any continuity! So I have evaluated from scratch again and found there are many candidate moves available at the first three levels of play, many of which - though beguiling - lead eventually to nought. Thus I judge that my veteran knight must move again...

I have never bet on games of chess, though I have oft played games for a prize, even if it be for who buys the next drink! Do I take it that you, like us, brew your own Ale? Now there is a noble profession!

Your correct about the ale. The downside to industrialization is there's no love in the making of objects and machines. You can never receive more than u put into something. - But when one doesn't build or make things but instead delegates the task to a lifeless mechanism there is a plain difference. I.e. it could be from dinner to bottled beer, and I say this with hesitation, because I don't feel either way to be wrong, just different. In my judgment my own way seems to work more efficiently, most likely because it is what I’m accustomed too - thus I choose to make my own ale, among many other things.

[stormerne]

No. I do not accept your suggested continuation. That very plausible move - and who would not have automatically played it? - leads to ruin for Black in just one line, and I must assume that you would have played that line. So I will not send my knight riding into the centre. Instead my king steps towards the fray.

We too choose to make our own ale, partly because traditional British beer is too hoppy for our liking and has too little body. Perhaps we would not bother doing so if we lived in Bavaria! And we also make all our own soap, simply because we can make far better quality than we can buy, and yet it is still cheaper.

But tell me... are you a knave, prince or king of brewing? In other words, do you brew from kits, extracts or grains?
