If you want your queen out on the first move, just let it ride out on one of the ponys.


but you would have to move your bishop first.  queens can't jump pieces.

When certain tasks (if u look at it like that), are hard for me to comprehend and take longer than most. I still participate, it's the way i am, plus I like to keep the motionless side of my brain, active if possible. 

I will never be very good at chess..no probs with that at all. I really enjoy playing and chatting here..all good. : )

I thought Alekhine was the drunkard. And Tal the ladies man...
