@vickalan what do you use to crop the image?

I start using AbstractCube's board editor, but I'm usually just moving pieces by cut and paste, unless the board size changes. I use MS Paint which I believe is included on Windows PCs. (It has a crop tool).

AbstractCube's board editor also has a tool to take snapshots, and any range can be selected. Let me know if you're trying it. There's also a discussion about it (here).

Which knight to (4,7)?

Since both sides kept playing I'm assuming N(2,8)-(4,7).

vickalan

11.K(6,1)...(4,5)
12.B(4,3)...H(8,4)
13.H(4,0)...N(2,8)-(4,7)
14.N(6,3)...H(11,4)

3,4

samuelysfung

H(9,4)+

Yes it was the N(2,8). I didn't have a diagram and forgot about the knight on (6,6) lol

I didn't know that you could drag corners to change the size of the image in the editor :/

How do you get coordinates incrementing by 1? I can only see 5, 10, 15 etc.

Oh, that's new. AbstractCube must have changed his program because I didn't see that before. I'll ask him about it. The 5,10, 15 increments isn't as good IMO, unless it's needed when you zoom out.

Neither bishop can move to (8,12). Let me know if I misunderstand something, or choose a legal move.

15.(3,4)...H(9,4)+
16.K(5,1)...Hx(9,1)
17.Rx(9,1)

He probably meant 8,13 but I agree it needs clarification

samuelysfung
