"Dad had a bad head" is not only ambiguous (omitting the rank numbers) - it suffers from the more serious problem that it refers to a sequence of moves. Ideally, each exchange (one or more sentences) would refer to a single move.

What if by the end the the date you successfully get away with playing a game of chess, but they suspect you are cheating on them.  Then the problem would be to convince them that all you were doing was playing a game of chess.  Innocent
