Chess on an Infinite Plane (game: cobra91 - vickalan)



Guess it's a matter of taste, then. Here comes the first "out-of-bounds" move:
11. R(-6,1)
Only one additional file on the left (or queenside) is needed to accommodate this move, however.

Yeah, I wasn't sure exactly what to call it. Perhaps, "Here comes the first move outside the currently visible area," would have been more accurate.
12. C(-4,1)

13. Qx(4,5)+ (check)
I suspect it was unwise for Black to allow this, but there's only one way to confirm that suspicion!

Yes, that was inaccurate play from me. I lost a pawn. Not sure if I can get it back yet.
13...K(5,8)

14. Qx(4,8)+
Sorry for the delay. There was some distraction yesterday associated with a certain major sports event (this may or may not be an appropriate place for me to be more specific than that), but I'm trying not to "skip days" without a good reason.

apoorlydrawnape, yes, and cobra91 is making me nervous by bringing out all his rooks and chancellors! (but please don't discuss this game's strategy while game is in progress). If you'd like to play a game let me know.
For the game:
16...G(2,9)

Yes, that was a bad blunder of mine. In normal chess getting behind by a rook will often lead to a loss.
My only hope now (assuming you keep playing accurately) is that we both started with lots of pieces (making each capture slightly less significant). But now I have a challenge. And your chancellor is still well-placed (but I hope no more serious mortal damage to my pieces).
18...C(9,8)
