Chess game: Kythereia vs. glee

@Kythereia

quick smooch to ronincyberpunk, along with some seducing

Arrrgh! glee, I forgot about that pawn on d4… :smack:

Kythereia glee

1. d4 Nf6
2. e4 Nxe4
3. f3 Nf6
4. Nh3 c5
5. c4 cxd4 (my pawn on c5 takes your pawn on d4)
6. e5

Um, you don’t have a pawn that can move to e5. Did you mean 6. c5?

And this thread simply confirms all my pessimistic thoughts on being a chess player. The spectator (go, Ronin!) gets the gal. The chess player (moi) gets a pawn.

@ronincyberpunk

And now for some new info. Now that you have a passed pawn, do you know what en passant is? It’s a more obscure chess rule that many players never learn until their in the middle of a game and someone does it to them. Quick and dirty definition here (second diagram down). I always just thought of it as the capturing pawn clotheslining the captured pawn. I dunno if that helps you understand it or not.

Thanks for the explanation of en passant!

But the only passed pawn in our game (= a pawn that no enemy pawn can stop queening) is mine, on d4.

[Kythereia]

Yes :smack: I’m hopeless at this, aren’t I?

At least I can figure out some… er, mating positions.

Oh! I actually didn’t know this, I just thought it was any pawn passed the fourth rank from that side.

This is interesting…this is the first one i’ve watched, and I’m glad I am.

As far as the watchers getting the girl, that seems to be on par with my chess playing memories as well.

[petelin]

Wow, I think i killed my first thread…

[Kythereia]

No, petelin, it’s okay. glee just hasn’t made his move yet

Yes, and this thread will prove no exception.
