the Grandiose AGS Chain Chess game! [over!]

[bicilotti]

First check of the game! Fasten your seatbelts!  8)

Tuomas for black

[Matti]

It was a bit too fast for me to follow everything but it's an interesting game!

[Tuomas]

Hate to be fixing the obvious... But we'll rise again! E8-D8

[bicilotti]

wonkyth for white!

[LRH]

I hope he knows what must be done... o.O

[bicilotti]

I hope he knows what must be done... o.O

Oh yes sorry, I forgot! Remember to move a piece wonkyth!

[Andail]

This was sort of exciting to follow, in a weird unexciting way

[Wonkyth]

c7 - d5

[bicilotti]

Scarab for black

[Khris]

Right back where we were before :

We could have taken their not covered(?) Rook, which was the whole point of moving the knight to that position, attacking Rook and King, called fork (here in Germany, at least).

Sorry, and I know, it's just a game and all that, but the frequency of white team screw-ups makes me wonder if there's still a way to win this for us.

[Wonkyth]

Yeah, I know it's regress, but after spending some time looking at the alternatives, I decided that the balance was too close, and that there were a host of people who'd cut my throat if it resulted in disaster.
However, I suffer from an unfortunately bad case of rook-blindness, and so completely missed the possibility to take the rook.
Note: I really do seem to suffer from this Rook-blindness, as I have lost many games this way.

I'm sure our secret network of undercover agents in the black white team hasn't yet been discovered.

[ShiverMeSideways]

Well, shite, sorry for missing out on my turn guys. I'm going away for a week tomorrow, so I'll be missing my next turn as well, but I don't want out of the game! :-/

Is it possible to kick me off the team, despite my recent tardiness?

ShiverMeSideways, no problem at all!
Let me be clear: if you're are away for whichever reason and pm me here or on #AGS (or just post here), you will be skipped for this turn but won't be erased from the participant lists!

I've made the 2-strikes-you-are-out rules just for folks that prolly have forgotten to subscribe to this thread and won't probably reenter in the game again. And even for them, if you want to come back in, just post here!

[ShiverMeSideways]

Danke grosse, my kind sir!

[Scarab]

BxA1

[Jim Reed]

I think the white side should offer a handshake.
