A song by "Queen" now that is appropriate!!

F6 - G4

 

[muckshifter]

pawn H2 - H3


... just happen to be listening to Queen.

 

[Taffycat]

G8 - H8

I like Queen too

 

[muckshifter]

G8 - H8

?

pawn H3 takes knight G4

 

[Taffycat]

All just part of my diabolical plan, which I believe has just gone diabolically wrong

However, H5 takes G4

E7 - F6



Just updated my Suse Linux ... had to re-boot.

HEY! it works ...

Mind you, it does look a lot Crispier now, or was that because I cleaned my glasses?

H6 - H7 (we're doomed Captain Manwairing, we're all doomed!)Linux seems to be pretty popular on here - is it a big learning curve for folk who lack knowledge of command lines etc?

I'm still learning ... but the only time I need to use the "command line" is to re-start Boinc ... it is a good OS if you wan't to keep an older PC running & FREE ... if you play games, keep to Windows.

King G1 - G2

E8 - C6 check (well I couldn't go down without a fight, could I?

)

Oh I mostly play a few games which involve Java applets (Yahoo's Literati for example)

Linux can play Java ... just can't play Windows games very well.

F2 - F3

H7 - H6

Oh, that's interesting I like the sound of that

 

[muckshifter]

D8 - H8 ... checkmate!

Good game!!

Thanks.


To "play" with Linux I would strongly suggest using a second HD if you do not have a "spare" PC laying around.

Well done Mr Shifter!! You are a worthy winner!! Thank you for the game, it was very enjoyable, just sorry to have been such a rusty opponent.

Oh, you do yourself and injustice ... but don't loose your Queen too quick next time.

We had nearly 400 "views" for the game, I wonder how many took time to set a board up and follow us.

I'm lousy at checkers.

Thanks again ... maybe we can hold a knock-out competition.

Yeah!

Great Idea - and thank you for the words of encouragement - I noticed the high number of views too, didn't know chess was so popular

Well done I've been following the thread, although I don't have a clue what on earth the numbers and letters mean

I'll have to see if there are any 2 player games for the vbulletin forum!

If you castle on the King side it's 0-0

 

[Taffycat]

That's a really nice idea
