Chess on an Infinite Plane (Naviary vs. captaintugwash)

Sort:
captaintugwash

It's not a problem, I was just being silly. 

Naviary

I know your up a pawn, I don't mind though. That pawn has to travel 2x as far to promote and you don't have any passers anyway.

Although not requested I'll post a zoom-in view. Some spectators (me included) might want to see everything that is going on. Last 3 ply:
13.R(20,-3)...Q(29,25)
14.B(5,-1)

I just wanted to remind you of my material advantage. But yeah it's not really a lead, certainly I don't think I have the edge,. It's still very much an even game imo. It's just trash talk really!

Sorry I'm here. Will move today.

Bump!

captaintugwash

Good bump, thanks. I actually thought it was on you and was too lazy to check. I'll move in both my games (that's you Ry) today.

I've seen this before. Expert players forget who's move it is. They calculate accurately, but don't know whose turn it is.happy.png

I'm with family Monday to Thursday, I'll probably make a move on Monday morning if it's on me but won't be logging back on until Friday.

captaintugwash

If you want to pause the game from here nav while it's on you until Friday, I'm ok with that.

Naviary

I haven't had the time recently to dedicate a sitting to analyze this position. I'm thinking I will tomorrow.

Naviary

ry you do not have authority to issue a time warning (since your not my opponent or the moderator), so it's invalid. Only Vick or tugwash can call time warning on me.

vickalan

This game is a challenge for the WC title but I don't plan to issue any time warnings. There's not a clear line-up for who can challenge next, so I'm OK with this game moving at whatever pace Nav and Tug want to play.
