Test Huddle Chess Challenge

[Ronan Healy]

This knight looks ready for a fight. It’s the official last day of the birthday and the game but I am happy to let it run if you, the contestants wish?

[Kristoffer]

Don’t you dare end this game… we’re just getting started…

[Gerald]

Back off @ronan – don’t you dare shut this down!

[Gerald]

e8:e6

[Kristoffer]

Nice, but you guys seems to have set up the board incorrectly 😉

e1 == White king
e8 == Black king

But your move @gerld indicates that you have the queen at e8?
Would have been correct if red were white and the board were turned up-side down, but since I started and the notation is as below you need to switch positions of the king/queen and also redo the move 🙂

A bit confusing maybe but look at this picture and let me know if I’m not making sense 😉

[Ronan Healy]

The Board is as you describe it above. So your suggesting switch e8 and d8 and e1 and d1?

[Kristoffer]

@ronan If the board is as I described it above (e1:White King, e8:Black king, d1: White Queen, d8:Black Queen) then I’m a bit confused as the black King can’t make the move e8:e6 that @gerld wrote above.

@gerld Am I missing something here 😀 ?

[Gerald]

Yes the board was setup in reverse. I’m always playing by the @ronan’s photos.

[Kristoffer]

“Yes the board was setup in reverse.” Can we set the position then of the king&queen properly and you redo the move @gerld ?

[Ronan Healy]

@kristoffernordstrom I have changed the pieces to reflect the board and ask @gerld to take his move again.

I’ll put up photo before and after his move

@gerld sorry for the delay in my move. Wow battle chess! What a classic 😀 I can still here the sound sin my head when the pieces moved.

my move: h3:g4 (Pawn takes Bishop)

[Gerald]

I know! Such distorted crunches – I think it’s damaged my headphones 😀

[Ronan Healy]

@kristoffernordstrom h3:g4 (Pawn takes Bishop)

[Ronan Healy]

A noble and fair bishop has fallen.

[Gerald]

Noooo! Who will perform the confirmations?!?
Thankfully our Protestant Bishop is still safe!

[Gerald]

h6:g4
Knight tramples Pawn

[Kristoffer]

d4:e5 (Pawn takes Pawn)… bring on the carnage!

[Ronan Healy]

Including @gerld h6:g4

and @kristoffernordstrom d4:e5

[Ronan Healy]

It’s carnage

[Gerald]

Sorry for the delay – hadn’t realised it was my turn!
g4:e5

[Kristoffer]

@gerld No worries, as you can see I’m not lightning fast either, but thats the nice thing about correspondence chess its relaxed.
Hopefully we’ll finish it before we meet in Stockholm this year 😉

My move: f3:e5

@ronan No picture perhaps 🙂 ?

[Ronan Healy]

@kristoffernordstrom would you prefer no pictures? I am happy with that. It would make the pages quicker to load.
