Cool, we have the fabulous tugwash watching! Prepare to watch me be absolutely obliterated within the first 25 moves!

What? If you do not know how to post moves for infinite, there is an example in the first post on the bottom.
@unc07 There's no letters in the coordinates, just numbers. You can look at the side of screen to find the coordinates of your move. So e4 would be (5,4)
Vickilian Defense
A note: you'd have to blunder like crazy to live less than 25. I was once down a hawk and survived 40 moves afterwards.
He nearly robbed a draw, and a few times I could have blundered into mate.
Try winning from a queen down in bulldog. I just did, I denied Fly-Eagles-Fly the first victory against me on these forums.
Ummm let's not count this officially shall we?
This thread is a game of "Chess on an Infinite Plane" between @unc07 (White) and @Waredude (Black).
Rules:
The Pieces:
Black and White each have the following pieces (quantity and name):
1 king
1 queen
2 chancellors
2 rooks
2 bishops
2 knights
2 guards
2 hawks
24 pawns
All pieces move as in classical chess, with the "extra" three pieces moving as follows:
Chancellor (C) - Moves and captures as rook + knight.
Hawk (H) - Leaps exactly 2 or 3 squares in any orthogonal or diagonal direction. The leaping move means it can jump over other pieces.
Guard (G) - Moves and captures the same as a king but is not affected by check.
Pawns play the same and promote at the same rank as in classical chess. White pawns promote at rank 8, and black pawns promote at rank 1. Pawns can promote to chancellor, hawk, or guard in addition to queen, rook, bishop, or knight. Pawns may capture and be captured en passant with the same rules as in classical chess.
Board Setup:
Orange brackets identify the four "classical" corner squares (1,1), (1,8), (8,1), and (8,8).
There is no castling.
There is no fifty-move rule. Draws can only occur from stalemate, threefold repetition, agreement, or a proven case of insufficient material to force checkmate.
All other rules are the same as in classical chess.
Move Notation:
Numeric coordinates are used to identify piece locations as (file#, rank#). Parenthesis are used around each coordinate. Three examples of a move notation:
1) A rook moving from (8,4) to (1,4):
R(8,4)-(1,4) or R(1,4)
2) A rook moving from (1,4) and capturing a piece on (0,4):
R(1,4)x(0,4) or Rx(0,4)
3) A pawn advancing from (-1,7) to (-1,6):
(-1,7)-(-1,6) or (-1,6)
@unc07 plays White. Good luck to both players!
