--Rules--
I will pick out your opponents and you guys will advance to different opponents like a tournament ladder.
I won't be playing because of grounding, but if you wish to play against me for the lulz, go to my sandbox.
Play clean, and you can smack talk each other if you feel like it. If nobody finishes in two months, I'll just declare the winners anyway.
You're given a maximum of a week to start the game and 5 days in between moves, if not you'll be disqualified.

Also, if you will please use minor edits if the game starts to get really serious. Prevent tv spam plox.

   Everyone's using my PvX template. Don't see me complaining? :P -- Halogod35 22:31, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

   I fixed your indents :P — Why 22:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

   I've been wondering how to do that. ._. /kisses your feet. -- Halogod35 23:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 a b c d e f g h Assuming I play white 'cus my name was first on the list. — Why 21:28, 15 October 2009 (UTC) Good luck buddy, though you can win me without it ^^ - J.P.Talk 21:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC) gl&hf2u2. I changed the notation, hope you don't mind. — Why 23:23, 15 October 2009 (UTC) And right away you try to cheat :D It's e4. - J.P.Talk 23:52, 15 October 2009 (UTC) Wups. French Defence. :P — Why 00:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC) Lol you guys are havin fun aren't you? -- Halogod35 00:40, 16 October 2009 (UTC) Finnish fuckup. - J.P.Talk 00:54, 16 October 2009 (UTC) Commonly played moves for black were Nf6 and Bb4, in case you were wondering ;) — Why 11:32, 16 October 2009 (UTC) I know. I think i blew it since i made my first move :/ - J.P.Talk 12:35, 16 October 2009 (UTC) Not at all. I know a bit about opening theory, but that doesn't serve me anymore when you make moves I don't expect. You haven't made any errors, so the outcome is still very much undecided. It merely looks like I have the advantage just because my pieces are further your way. The current situation forces me to improvise. :P — Why 14:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC) -beep- I calculate that J.P. has a 63% chance. -beep- The Black Halo 14:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC) I really did plan that move this long :P - J.P.Talk 16:24, 16 October 2009 (UTC) My g4 square is mine! I planned an attack there, but now you broke it. /sigh. Let me fix that knight. :P — Why 21:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC) I actually didn't believe you would make that move.... Though i now have two Pawns on a same line. But if you want to trade you Bishop for my Knight, ok. And for you information, i don't plan the Castling anymore, since i think it's Check after your move :D - J.P.Talk 10:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC) You're absolutely right. ^^ — Why 13:55, 17 October 2009 (UTC) And you're absolutely wrong with your pawn ^^ - J.P.Talk 18:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC) Bah! I need to learn to clean up when I try things out on the board. Sorry :/ — Why 21:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC) I just don't see any other option. Did you that you could have won in your next three moves? :D - J.P.Talk 22:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC) Really? O.O — Why 22:58, 17 October 2009 (UTC) Sorry about that. :P — Why 00:29, 18 October 2009 (UTC) And i saw it too late. Is there any chance i could take that back? :S - J.P.Talk 00:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC) Sure. ^^ — Why 00:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC) That's what you get when you make a move in ten minutes -.- - J.P.Talk 00:59, 18 October 2009 (UTC) +1 - J.P.Talk 01:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC) I think i'm gonna lose this game :D - J.P.Talk 15:20, 18 October 2009 (UTC) Decided on a move yet? ;) — Why 16:20, 18 October 2009 (UTC) <beep> (yes) - J.P.Talk 17:21, 18 October 2009 (UTC) rev? — Why 22:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC) Yeah, i reverted my move soon after i made it. - J.P.Talk 23:01, 18 October 2009 (UTC) I have to make that move after all -.- - J.P.Talk 23:13, 18 October 2009 (UTC) That means this game is over. All possible continuations: 15. 16. White ... Qd3++ Black Ke4 15. 16. 17. White ... c4+ Qb3++ Black Be6 Kxc4 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.

It's been over a year and a half since my last match by the way :D - J.P.Talk 01:30, 19 October 2009 (UTC) When this tourney is over, sure ^^ By the way, it took me a day to engineer that knight sacrifice. :P — Why 01:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC) And this was my first game where i didn't use Bishops and Rooks at all XD Must have been the biggest reason why i lost. - J.P.Talk 01:46, 19 October 2009 (UTC) We both didn't really get the chance to develop our rooks. I think the main thing that broke you up was your queen, which posed quite a large threat to my position, but after a while I could keep on attacking her while getting myself in a better position than before. — Why 01:57, 19 October 2009 (UTC) Yeah, after my incredibly pro 10th move -.- - J.P.Talk 13:00, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Moves d4, d5 And i still hate this move :D e4, e6 Nc3, f5 e5, Nc6 Be2, Nh6 Bxh6, xh6 Bh5+, Kd7 g4, Qg5 xf5, xf5 Nxd5, Qg2 Bf3, Qg5 h4, Qd8 Bh5, Ke6 Ne2, Kxd5 Bf7+, black resigns 1-0

de Kooning vs Why → Why

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 a b c d e f g h Good luck & have fun! I played white in my last match, so I would prefer to be black now, if that's okay with you. — Why 18:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Do we need to do a move list or something? de Kooning 18:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC) It's useful. I changed it to short algebraic notation though. — Why 18:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC) N? Bx? I don't understand how this notation works... de Kooning 14:42, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Okay, if you're moving a pawn, then it's nothing but where you moved to. If you're moving anything else besides a pawn, then you put the first letter of it (Knight = N though). "x" represents killed. So, Nb7xc5 would say the knight moved to c5 and killed what ever was there. -- Halogod35 20:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC) If you want you can leave the notation for me to do — Why 20:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC) No, I think I got the jist of it. de Kooning 14:35, 22 October 2009 (UTC) "It's Over!" Sardaukar 15:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC) (Reset indent) I wonder if my adversary has died on me or has gone into hibernation or something. Come on, Kooning! ;) — Why 13:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC) Last edit was the 22nd. So 3.5 days ago. Edit: maybe we could get Halo to change the time limit to 5 days as a week is somewhat hefty? -- Salome 13:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC) 5 days sounds reasonable. -- Halogod35 13:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC) The Van't Krujis opening was interesting in this match, especially as it seemed to be turning into the sometimes called "Keoni-Hiva Gambit". -- Salome 16:51, 26 October 2009 (UTC) Sorry, kinda forgot about this. I got real busy recently and will stay so for quite some time. So, I resign. You were probably gonna win anyway. Sorry for leaving you hanging. de Kooning 20:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC) No problem, though I wouldn't have minded finishing it. Also, Salome, I had to look that one up. Getting a bit scared out here. :P — Why 21:44, 26 October 2009 (UTC) Moves e3, d5 Nc3, e5 b4, Bxb4 Na4, Nf6 Bb2, Nc6 h4, 0-0 Resign

Yeah go ahead and play. -- Halogod35 16:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC) I posted a comment on his talk page. No response yet. - J.P.Talk 21:44, 18 October 2009 (UTC) So this gonna be mine and sal's game now? Da Sonic Monday 03:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC) Be bold and begin. I'm sure it's fine. — Why 12:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC) I suppose ill make a move b4 i go to school. Hope this goes as well as my last game... 2 years ago. Da Sonic Monday 13:07, 19 October 2009 (UTC) I will, for the remainder of the chess tourney, be reffered to as the CHESS NAZI Da Sonic Tuesday 00:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Salome needs to wake up. Im getting bored. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Tuesday 00:45, 20 October 2009 (UTC) It's 1:45am my time matey and i have work. I've made my first move though. :) Also im off work from thursday for a long weekend. Thus promise I will be about more. :) -- Salome 00:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Chess Nazi is pleased. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Tuesday 01:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC) This is interesting. Fianchetto, Salome? — Why 18:24, 20 October 2009 (UTC) It was going to be but he opened his queen to early and I'm uncomfortable with such a defensive beginning if hes bringing out his main offensive force so early. -- Salome 18:48, 20 October 2009 (UTC) I like to keep things fresh. I also have no idea what in the hell Fainchetto, or any other "move" for that matter means. I play my own style. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Tuesday 22:19, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Rofl just accidentally looked at De Koonigs match below and almost shat my knickers, was like "WTF?! i didn't make that move!" LOL -- Salome 12:24, 23 October 2009 (UTC) =D Good luck if I havent said that yet. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Friday 13:04, 23 October 2009 (UTC) You too mate! :) -- Salome 13:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC) Somebody is winning here. I'll let you know who when the game is over. xD Sardaukar 15:46, 23 October 2009 (UTC) LOL actually its rather balanced at the moment. Our play styles are quite different. He seems to like to open his offensive force up early but then play them defensively which gives him the fluidity to protect his king and yet attack when an opening is available. I however opt for concentrating on a few of my most powerful pieces and using them to outflank his defense, while keeping my weaker pieces in defence if needed to help the king. All in all we're both playing quite a balanced match with no one really being really defensive or offensive, the next 8 moves or so will tell us alot about each of our play styles as with the board how it is now, it should start to become alot more interesting, as at the moment my king is vulnerable to attack due to taking the stronger pieces away from defense, however on the flip side those same pieces of mine are increasingly putting pressure on his king and keeping alot of his offensive force locked in defense. -- Salome 15:57, 23 October 2009 (UTC) I want to play you next round. — Why 20:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC) Thanks Why, I've wanted to play you since the last chess tournament we had, however I think Sonic the chess nazi is going to give me a run for my money this match. :) -- Salome 21:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC) Yea, it's really interesting, you two playing in such totally different styles. You said it all. — Why 23:14, 23 October 2009 (UTC) And my master plan begins to form in my head. Took me a good 20 minutes to make that simple move ^_^ Sonic the CHESS NAZI Saturday 13:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC) And the Bloodshed begins. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Saturday 20:38, 24 October 2009 (UTC) LOL at long last, we've been having somewhat of a cold war up til now. -- Salome 20:55, 24 October 2009 (UTC) Check. -- Salome 21:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC) Touche. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Saturday 21:31, 24 October 2009 (UTC) Bloody good defense you got there, I can't seem to find a crack in it. -- Salome 21:48, 24 October 2009 (UTC) I wont say i'm any less scared of yours. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Saturday 23:36, 24 October 2009 (UTC) Your pawn configuration pretty much has my back line offense immobilized. I'll need to shift my focus into getting rid of your frontline, instead of your backlike. :) -- Salome 00:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Update for anyone that isn't me or Sal. This is the best game i have EVER played. My love in chess has been rekindled. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Sunday 02:13, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Yup have to admit, best match i've had in a Looooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg time, really got me back into playing chess. -- Salome 02:20, 25 October 2009 (UTC) And as the game draws to a close. Nothing. No idea whos in the lead. -.- Sonic the CHESS NAZI Sunday 03:45, 25 October 2009 (UTC) I claim the right to my one BS time waste move. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Sunday 04:06, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Well, shit. I look at the defensive board before I go fletching and then when I take a good look, the whole damn board is gone. ._. You guys are having a cold war aren't you? xD -- Halogod35 04:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Yeh we seem to be quite evenly matched. Our end game has taken up almost half of the match, where we both just ended up playing really defensively. This is gonna be one of those matches where its gonna come down to a couple of pieces chasing each other round the board. -- Salome 05:05, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Stalemate. -Pulls out a guitar and starts playing "One"- -- Halogod35 05:08, 25 October 2009 (UTC) So, is kibitzing allowed here? ;) Sardaukar 11:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC) I hadn't kept up with this match, had to replay it on my computer. Very nice. — Why 12:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Yeh I was playing til 6am this morning. It started out quite evenly balanced but due to us being evenly matched the end game became quite defensive and has now settled into chasing each other round the board. Ultimately though I think to win, Sonic needs to get a pawn to the other side of the board but then he's threw me a fair few curves in this match so I'm not banking on anything. I think it's quite probable it could end up a stalemate. -- Salome 13:03, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Yeah, i kept Sal up past his bedtime, and i stayed up past mine. When i finally went to sleep, the game kept me up for another half hour. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Sunday 13:05, 25 October 2009 (UTC) sorry about this sonic but I think my knight is gonna be a bit of a bitch to you for the next few moves. :( -- Salome 14:42, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Yep. *goes for more popcorn* Sardaukar 14:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Sigh. Sonic the CHESS NAZI Sunday 15:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC) I feel your pain Sonic. *tips Salome's king "accidently"* Sardaukar 16:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Thank you Sonic, excellent game!!!! Really enjoyed it! -- Salome 17:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

NuVII 21:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC) If you threat the queen, you say garde. But no one use it anymore. - J.P.Talk 22:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC) opps thought that one was the king lol --Nick123 09:47, 24 October 2009 (UTC) it is check now lol --Nick123 12:56, 24 October 2009 (UTC) Why not NXc2? just curious, you would have still lost your Knight, but gained taking a pawn at least and still have the desired minor effect of putting his king in check. As I said just curious. -- Salome 13:10, 24 October 2009 (UTC) Khorne cares not from where the blood flows, only that it does. NuVII 13:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC) Need some mood music here. *grabs cassette of Bolt Thrower's The IVth Crusade and starts Where Next to Conquer* Ahh... Much better! :D Sardaukar 10:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC) soz bout taking ages to go i was on holiday :) --Nick123 19:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC) Hmmm.... I'm somewhat worried I may have died of old age by the time this match has finished. -- Salome 13:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC) You will, don't worry. Here, I got some anti aging cream -hands you some- -- Halogod35 13:31, 6 November 2009 (UTC) Why you have anti-aging stuff? You're not that old :P - J.P.Talk 14:04, 6 November 2009 (UTC) Best to start young for that peter pan like glow. -- Salome 14:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC) Lol, I don't. xD -- Halogod35 14:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC) I was actually wondering the same thing (the inactivity part, not the anti-aging stuff. :P) — Why 16:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC) it his go lol i hope lol i think it is will be imbarising if its not --Nick123 18:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC) FFS attack damnit :D . NuVII 18:38, 6 November 2009 (UTC) I had expected your knight to flee to 3e. Good. This makes it so much easier... NuVII 22:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC) did not think of that lol --Nick123 22:32, 6 November 2009 (UTC) Brave pawn is brave. NuVII 22:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC) lol might as well --Nick123 09:43, 7 November 2009 (UTC) your soposed to say check when u check me --Nick123 11:46, 7 November 2009 (UTC) Fine. Check. NuVII 11:57, 7 November 2009 (UTC) How i miss chess notation. -- Salome 12:13, 7 November 2009 (UTC) Pray that we don't come across each other then :P.

That, and I end up better, point value wise. Also, tired of the cold war. Also, check. NuVII 18:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC) gooood bitchy knigh :P --Nick123 19:24, 10 November 2009 (UTC) Check again. NuVII 20:29, 10 November 2009 (UTC) Only delaying the inevitable... that rook is good as dead, and the same will be true for the knight in about 5 turns. NuVII 20:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC) i am aware of this issue :P --Nick123 20:48, 10 November 2009 (UTC) did not notice that rude.... --Nick123 21:44, 10 November 2009 (UTC) Only a practice in inevitability now... NuVII 16:57, 11 November 2009 (UTC) im beging to dislike chess :P --Nick123 17:44, 12 November 2009 (UTC) I am very sorry to hear that. NuVII 18:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC) lol --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Nick123 (talk). That was a very lulzy move. I think you just lost your bishop. "You" referred to Nick, but I just noticed it actually was a trade. :P — Why 00:55, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Nick really needs to take out one of the rook's. If not its gonna be mate in 3. -- Salome 01:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC) He could've salvaged the game if he had ran away with his bishop, but right now, with only one knight against 2 rooks and a knight, I don't see how I can lose :P. NuVII 11:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Easiest thing is probably if you trade a rook for his knight and then just clean the board. That's what I'd do anyway, it's easy. No chance to swindle yourself out of a lost situation when you have no pieces left. :P — Why 13:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC) it says something bout how good i am at chess :P --Nick123 19:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Yeaahh... The knight is dead. Wanna call it a game? NuVII 22:46, 13 November 2009 (UTC) tempted to i cant win --Nick123 22:53, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Looks like its me vs you next nuclear. -- Salome 22:57, 13 November 2009 (UTC) I'll be watching. :P — Why 01:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC) i give up lol sorry couldnt do this sooner but my internet died --Nick123 18:42, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

I had started to give up hope. Nu, you can choose which colour you want to be, I don't mind. -- Salome 14:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC) Well, you were here first, so do the honors. NuVII 14:57, 17 November 2009 (UTC) Good luck and have fun! :) -- Salome 22:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC) Ugh. Chess notation. Also, glhf. NuVII 15:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC) It's alright Nuke, I can do the chess notation for both of us. :) -- Salome 15:15, 18 November 2009 (UTC) Yaaaaay! NuVII 15:35, 18 November 2009 (UTC) Massive pawn attack is massive. Too bad I don't know how to deal with it :(. NuVII 16:52, 18 November 2009 (UTC) You dealt with it well enough. The King's indian attack is a classic white opening, which normally results in a central spearhead push, resulting in swift and frantic central board play, however it works upon the assumption mostly that black normally won't sacrifice pawns so early in the match. (before I get my force sorted out. In doing so you kinda put a dampner on that one. It's not my normal style anyway, as i tend to play hypermodern flanking games personally, but I fancied something a bit more classical this time. :) -- Salome 20:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC) I wish I was a boss creature. NuVII 21:11, 18 November 2009 (UTC) Ugh, I hate it when people do that. NuVII 21:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Sorry about that Nuke, you're playing a variation of Alekhine's Defense, which focuses upon opening up weaknesses in my central pawn line with the aid of your king's knight. In instances like that, black's queen can be devastating once white's centre pawn line fractures, thus took your queen out early to prvent me getting dominated later. -- Salome 22:04, 20 November 2009 (UTC) Ugh... Yes. That was exactly what I was doing. Damn, foiled my plans! NuVII 22:34, 20 November 2009 (UTC) It is your turn, right? I am not hallucinating again, right? NuVII 14:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC) Sorry my bad, been a bit distracted with work and other such things. -- Salome 14:41, 23 November 2009 (UTC) You can't do that sweetheart. NuVII 20:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC) Oh did I miss something? Why can't I castle my king? Sorry if I missed something. -- Salome 21:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC) Okay just checked through our move history and replayed the game thus far on my board at home, I'm still missing why I can't castle my king. Am I being a numpty? -- Salome 22:06, 28 November 2009 (UTC) Nvm, I'm just being bad. I thought that white bishop was mine. NuVII 22:13, 28 November 2009 (UTC) (Reset indent) LOL, no worries. I tend to play black normally, so I keep doing the same thing. -- Salome 22:17, 28 November 2009 (UTC) Damnit, I lost the initiative! NuVII 22:30, 28 November 2009 (UTC) Shame, the game is gonna be a bit less interesting now I guess. — Why 00:01, 3 December 2009 (UTC) Sorry, been distracted with other stuff, thus last 2 moves was playing it safe. Promise I'll go back on the attack now. -- Salome 03:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC) Now that is a very odd thing to say for someone who has just won the exchange. — Why 04:14, 3 December 2009 (UTC) True but it was more accident than design. If nuke hadn't of moved his rook where he did, I would have been playing a very uninspired game for the next few moves, but then I'm not comfortable on defense. Much happier being on the attack. Fortunately nuke slipped up with his rook placement, which is a bit of a shame, but we'll see where it leads. :) -- Salome 17:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC) I gotta hand it to you Salome, I'm feeling the first pangs of defeat. With that rook on the retreat, you'll have free reign over the board. --NuVII 21:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC) I wouldn't count yourself out just yet. I have to admit two rooks makes attack much easier but checkmate is still very possible with what you have left on the board. (especially as im prone to making stupid mistakes) -- Salome 00:32, 5 December 2009 (UTC) Aye, except that you have yet to make a mistake for me to capitalize on. Let our last charge be glorious! Pawns die first! --NuVII 18:22, 5 December 2009 (UTC) I resign. Victory is impossible after that. NuVII 20:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC) Then I guess I'll start the finale. — Why 21:01, 9 December 2009 (UTC) Good Game Nuke, was fun! :) -- Salome 22:38, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Good luck & have fun Salome! I played black in my last match, and you played white, so shall I be white this time? And how do you like the king-size board? :P — Why 21:01, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

LOL I noticed the king sized board. You be white mate, that's fine by me. I expect this match to be short as you wipe me from the board, but GL and HF. :) -- Salome 22:34, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm the one I expect to be wiped. :P — Why 22:39, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Indian defenses it is then. ;) -- Salome 22:45, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I do wonder how you're gonna respond to this ;) — Why 00:09, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

The Trompowsky attack, which effectively disables the Indian defences. nice. :) Suppose its tired old Ne4 then. -- Salome 01:41, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm just trying to get you out of familiar territory, guess I failed. :P — Why 03:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

amasing board lol --Nick123 17:40, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I was like what the fuck happened here :D - J.P.Talk 20:02, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that Why, I actually thought I had moved a few days back but I must have forgot to hit save. doh! -- Salome 02:43, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

No problem :) — Why 14:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm starting to think I shouldn't have exchanged those pawns. Ah well, we'll see where this goes. — Why 21:15, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Good luck with that friend of yours. I understand your priorities are elsewhere and there's no need to rush this game. — Why 19:37, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Why. I'm a bit distracted at the mo, but we'll see how this game plays out. :) -- Salome 00:59, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

I sure can see you're distracted. Let's revert the last move, shall we? — Why 01:29, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

DOH! My head really isn't with it at the mo. Haven't slept properly for almost a week now. So really not thinking straight. If you don't mind I think I'll redo that move. -- Salome 03:01, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Not at all. In fact if you prefer to let this game rest until your life is less turbulent just say so, it's fine with me. — Why 04:03, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Gogogo! I want my rematch with Why! :D - J.P.Talk 16:55, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

If I keep playing the way I have been you will have that rematch in the none too distant future. As for letting the game rest, I would say that I enjoy the game due to it distracting me from other things which I have no influence upon. I would say however after this match, regardless of how it turns out, a rematch would be appreciated when I am on full form. :) -- Salome 20:23, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

You just prevented me from trapping your Queen. Good job. ;) — Why 19:31, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Uhm, long time since someone moved. Reaper of Scythes** 22:46, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeh sorry that's my fault. Why and I have slowed things down as my personal life has gone a bit crazy. I will start this properly again this week though. -- Salome 23:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

move faster move faster i wana see who wins :P --Nick123 20:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

So I think everyone has forgotten about this? Reaper of Scythes** 20:07, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Nah, we'll get to it, eventually. — Why 20:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay my apologies to Why and everyone who was following this. My life has finally started to calm down, so should finally get this finished. (Also not the most exciting move to reopen the game with I know) -- Salome 18:45, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

yay action again :) --Nick123 20:34, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Glad you're back :) — Why 20:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Glad to be back! Good luck by the way matey! :) -- Salome 21:54, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

gl&hf2u2 — Why 17:46, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Did not see that one coming. — Why 00:05, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

to be honest I only just noticed it before my move. Interested to see how it will pan out as I rarely go on an all out offensive with just my Knights. ;) -- Salome 00:24, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I honestly couldn't say which side i would rather play right now. Very good match. Sonic Tuesday 22:04, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I think Salome is gonna come out a pawn ahead. Nicely played. — Why 00:53, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. :) -- Salome 18:25, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Missed playing you Why! You really do have an amazing defense but you don't let it box you in and you retain the ability to suddenly escape those defenses and attack my pieces. It seems however that my knights have opened a wee hole in your line of defense on the right side of the board, however your left side fortifications are still boxing in half of my pieces, which is preventing me from using my normal tactic of moving to the sides and then slashing into the middle, outflanking your defenses. Should be fun to see how this plays out. -- Salome 13:26, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Go Go Go this is as exciting as chess getss :) --Nick123 14:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Whoops :O I think I might just have thrown this game away. Ah well, at least I do get to save my knight, for now ;) In any other situation I would probably have resigned by now, but this match just deserves to be played out. (And now we both lost a queen to a pin by a bishop, lol, do I get a revert? :P)— Why 15:03, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I think a revert is only fair! :) (last 3 moves have vanished and its your turn, save your queen but sacrifice either a bishop or a knight. decisions decisions) -- Salome 15:31, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Also if you feel the need to revert further to make it viable to save your queen, feel free. (I'm just chuffed I got to play those moves out in the first place, had been planning that attack since I first moved my knights forward) Interested to see how you get out of it now you know what's coming. -- Salome 15:38, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

In that case it's gonna be 19. Qg3, something I was actually considering back then but somehow decided against (I fail :P). Have fun slaughtering me once again ^^ — Why 15:48, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I doubt it, I was just lucky you didn't see that plan of attack beforehand. -- Salome 16:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Why, it's your move matey. (i think) -- Salome 17:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Whoops. Forgot. — Why 19:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

We can call it a draw, I guess this game has outlasted both me and Salome. Actually, fun fact, I never noticed it was my turn. I concede. Salome is the better chess player of the two of us, anyway. :) — Why 02:36, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
