This is riveting. Just nipping out for some popcorn, hope that I don't miss any of the action.

I beat Jimbo by a technicality.

[Caro-Kann]

I recently started using the chess by post app that's available for most smart phones.
It's a modern take on correspondence chess and matches you up with players of a similar ranking.
Can also do challenges against opponents whos usernames you know.

Interesting form of chess notation used above!
1. e4 e6 2. d3 d5 3. Nd2 c5 4. Ngf3 Nc6 5. e5 Nh6

Note to black, a knight on the rim is dim.

I've not heard that one before. I'm presuming it relates to restricting number of available moves, but it can't apply as a general principle to all situations, Shirley.

Anyway, now you've got the popcorn, so what move would you post (before kinty does, if you dinae mind).

Not got that far yet, still on the opening move and constantly reliving the wonderfulness of it

It was good, wasn't it? I keep going back to it and getting the same warm glow...

I think we need a picture to follow this. As far as I can tell kinty used the French Defense (seldom seen in first class chess these days) and Spotty used the even rarer King's Indian attack (P-Q3 instead of P-Q4). All very unusual...

Lines? I don't do lines.
I've obviously heard of the names of some openings, Ruy Lopez, for example, but I wouldn't know it if it hit me between the eyes. I just move the pieces according to where I want them and if they end up in some unorthodox move then the more the merrier.
