Sorry I was not able to post a board update more often. You guys played pretty fast, and I think not seeing the board after each move probably affected the game.

But I think it was a good game. Although it didn't last long, I think just as the center area was becaming interesting, White made an interesting flank attack (going behind Black with the queen). The fork at 15.Q(3,12)+ was effective because the rook on (-1,8) was no longer defended by the Chancellor.

This game also has the distinction of being the first game of infinite chess where the players castled! (Castling was not in the rules prior to this game). Fun game to watch, and good play by both!

Yeah, good game!
