Blowing hot air.  being a colege freshman I'll have to remember that.

Let me know how it works in grad school.

I'm having trouble visualizing the position so I'll wait until the position is updated to move.

Grad school was statistics. Blowing hot air didn't work so well there. : (

Please number your moves. This will hels me to number mine.

For example, your last move would be:

5. ... Ng7

Thank you Smile

It doesn't say anything about the wizard being able to jump 2 squares forward, only diagonally. 8... Wj7 is an illegal move.


I did the exagerated knight move: one file over (to j) and three ranks forward (to 7). In fact, if you go to the official site's opening page (http://www.omegachess.com/home.html?action=openings), and scroll down to "Wizard's Mate," they show the equivalent move being made by white (Wa3).
