I don't belive that White or Black had ever seen a chess board before this game.  A judge gave the players a fifteen second briefing on how to play.  After the briefing, both players agreed to just draw random moves out of a hat.

 Got taken by a knight, is a possibility

 King_William is right. White made an illegal move with the bishop, and is also down 2 bishops. Save the embarassment and pretend to have an epileptic and knock the board over and start again haha

This is for xbigboy, in answer to his question of how the position was reached.  It's a very common opening, and I'm a bit disappointed that he's not booked up on it.  There is a slight variation where white keeps both rooks, but in this(the main line) he gains good attacking chances along with superior development.

georgebonbon,

I'm surprised at you.  Aren't you aware that in capturing the bishops with his knight, the knight would be left en prise?  I suggest Think Like A Grandmaster, by Kotov.  You won't make that sort of mistake after a careful study of that book.

White definitely has black at a disadvantage. I'm surprised (and intrigued) at black's decision not to call "flying kings."

Congrats
