anyone know any top Online Games to play ??

Hey, i've played chess sometime back but lost it now, anyone up for a game of online network chess?

I'm in for a game by correspondence

Forsyth notation. I'll be white for this game.

Pawn to K4.

Regards......Ralph.

no such thing as a K4, is it a financial move?, if so I raise it by 2

Err,
in the Forsyth Notation K4 is the fourth square in front of the king.

So,I have moved my pawn from the second square where it is set up initially, to the fourth square. This is the usual opening move, for the play known universally as "The Kings Gambit".

Regards......Ralph.

Sorry stret, you are absolutely correct. Is there are easier why to play the game. I don't know much desciptives of it.

vortex, can you post up a game board to serve as a reference to get this old dog going.

Ralf, any suggestions?

Easy way,
when I used to play a lot, was to have a board set up on a table at both houses.

So for your postal game/s, you used to make your move and your opponents on that board. Unless you are Bobby Fischer or someone, I doubt if you could hold a whole game in your mind.

If you are numbering a board in the Forsyth Notation -- Number one starts at each end. In other words white's K4 is black's K5.

I haven't played even one game in about 15 years. So I'm pretty rusty.

Regards......Ralph.

Hey guys,

I found a cool site for chess. Its called postcard chess, all you need to do is enter you email and the opponents email and moves are sent direct to your email. Well, I'm on standby to play the winner.
