Am I missing something here?

I castled.

Interesting.

That's a check, is it not?



Your move

No, because you're attacking the queen. My king is safe and sound in the castle. :smile:



Your move

On your part.. the queen can move diagonally? So, could've ate my king from the previous position. Or no? Either way.



Your move

CHECK!

Your move

The queen can move diagonally, yes. I had your king in check but the wily fellow managed to get away.

Yeah yeah, I know what directions are.



Your move

Check.

Just in case...

I did learn something there, thanks.

(nothing happened here)

You can't move your king into check (my queen is in a direct diagonal line to your king). Your king can only take the pawn on a5 or move kc4. The only other option is taking the pawn en passant.

I missed that in the lateness of the hour.

Check.

Checkmate. Bishop has king in check and queen has all escapes covered (even though you're attacking queen).

You played well for not knowing the game.

So much for beginner's luck. :lol:

I've played chess before. Not often but I know what piece does what, save for things like "en passant" and castling lol.

Well if you don't get another participant I'd go again.

See, if they threw in some other bit like "offre de rachat" where you can sacrifice a pawn for the king.. we'd still be playing. Just think about that.

I'm game for another, and I found a board generator that works a little better. It generates an image with a link back, so we could just click on the image to go back to the generator, but the link doesn't work for some reason. Something to do with how the forum code handles images, I guess. No way to have images with hyperlinks. Anyway, it's still easier to just paste the link twice and replace [image]http://www.chessvideos.tv/bimg/31xc4mujc5c0g.png[/image] with Your move in the second link.



You can go white again, if you like.
