I'd consider promoting the g-pawn.

do you think move it 1 or 2 spaces??

You know, you can simply include a diagram instead of posting that huge photo. Or since you only made two moves, you can simply list the notation:

1. d4 d5

2. Nc3 Nc6

(I'm guess this is the order in which the moves were made, but it really doesn't matter.)

For future games, I would recommend playing c4 (or pushing the c-pawn up 2 squares) before playing the Queenside Knight to c3 because this allows White to control the center in a more direct fashion.

As is, I don't like getting into a positional battle without having played c4 first, so I would probably experiment by using the tempo you have to play 3. e4 (moving the e-pawn up 2 squares) to open up the center and develop quickly. Immediate future plans include playing Nf3 and castling in preparation for an open, tactical battle.

I was just making a joke about the board coordinates being wrong.

You need to play e4 so you can get Ke2! in quickly.

Funniest Chess board I've seen...well ever!

If this was a serious post, take ModernCalvin's advice and just tell us the move order.

Since the board is backwards (black has the 1st rank and the h-file is on the right) I'd just say to play the King-pawn up two squares and then (assuming he takes) push the Queen-pawn into the Knight's face. Since the Queen-Bishop's pawn is behind your Knight, you'll need to play a bit extreme to make any headway.

Are only pawns allowed on d5 and e6?

Nothing bigger would fit.......although I notice the Black King has started on d1??

What's so funny about the board?
