Third Seirawan Game

Game over. Preachingforjesus defeated oinquarki.

Elephant: Moves like a knight or like a rook. (looks like an actual elephant, not like the standard piece.)

Hawk: Moves like a knight or a bishop. (looks like an actual bird, not like the standard piece.)

Idea from Lahlie, text from Wikipedia.

"The elephant and the hawk are introduced to the game in the following way: whenever the player moves a piece from its starting position (that hasn't already been moved), one of the pieces in hand may be placed immediately on the square just vacated. One cannot use the placing of an elephant or hawk to block check. If the player moves all his pieces from the first rank without placing one or both in hand pieces, he forfeits the right to do so. After castling, the player may put one of the pieces in hand on either the king's or the rook's square, but he may not place both pieces in hand in the same turn. Pawns may promote to a hawk or an elephant in this game (in addition to the normal chess pieces). When notating games in algebraic notation, the letter E is used for the Elephant and H for the Hawk. If the player places one of the two pieces on the board, it's written after a slash. For example, 1. Nc3/Eb1 means that the player moved his knight from b1 to c3 and placed the elephant on b1."

Post your move using algebraic notation. The first post (this one) will have a move list and a picture of the board. Every time I see a new post, I will update the picture of the board and turn it so that the side who's turn it is comes up in front. Make sure you track this topic so that you know when it is your move. As soon as you join the game post something so that I know. The game will begin as soon as we have 2 people ready to go. Have fun!

I wrote the wrong thing two moves ago.  I meant to have placed the Elephant.

8... exd4

It's not that I don't trust you, but it's too late to change it now.

But as compensation, I made your king's crown look nice.
