This is a training game (I’m a retired chess coach) and I would ask that just the players post in it. (Your co-operation is appreciated!)
I’ll give a link to the associated game discussion thread, where folks are welcome to ask questions, make suggestions and helpful comments.
The discussion thread is at Chess: Glee v HeyHomie (discussion thread) - The Game Room - Straight Dope Message Board
Heyhomie, we can post our moves like this:
White Black
- e4 e5
- Nf3 Nc6
and so on.
N.B. This isn’t the actual game!
I’ll also try to link to a chessboard, to make it easier to follow the game.
I’ll do as I’ve done with basically every game I’ve played in the past two years. 1. e4
White Black
- e4 c6

I’ve put some comments in the companion thread - I’d like this one to just show the game.
