I played a game with Lion IRC back a couple of months on this thread. 24 days to a draw. He was able to display the positions.

I saw yall doing that, kind of like, playing chess through the mail back in the old days. Like George Wilson did in a episode of Dennis the Menace.

*raises hand* I am MsFuzzywalker on chess.com and am always open for a challenge! What say you all?

They should have a game section here where a game of chess could be played.
Another forum I am on simply has everyone on Chess.com and a chess league that is connected with the forum. If there are enough folks that are interested, I could just make a chess club for this forum on Chess.com and we can go to battle against the evil hordes.

Lol there is no "P" in chess notation. The proper way to annotate ye olde pawn capture is to record the square the pawn moved from to the square it captured. In your case the e-pawn captured the pawn on d4, so it's exd4.

Chess books:
Russian Chess: Learn From the New Champions by Bruce Pandolfini
Attacking Chess by Josh Waitzkin.

I'm also working on Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess and Chess Tactics for Champions by Susan Polgar. The latter book is so I get a female perspective on the game.

I'm a night owl and I play from about 11:30 AM to 2 AM at night on Pacific US. I can play earlier than that, but I shift when I'm eating somewhere between 8:30 and 11:00.

I never got a friend request from you, so I think it's because you weren't my friend. I just sent you one, along with a challenge to a game. Hopefully that goes through.

It also could be because you're new on the site, but I don't know how I received "protected" status by the Chess.com overlords.

I really only know how to checkmate the king on the last 2 rows w/ the Queen or Rooks, so if I lose those 2 types I'm in trouble.
How does a mate with two Bishops sound?


Description: A video by NM Robert Ramirez on how to checkmate with two bishops.

Or a bishop and a knight?

You got this.
