Chess tip #1

never move a piece twice in the opening moves if you can help it.

MOVE 8:

here's my thoughts -

1. i love the idea. i love chess. i want to play. but not with how it currently stands

2. whilst the game is young you should fix up the black/white issue cause you buggered up the start!! white has to go first - but with the way the board is set up black has gone first!! while you're at it change the board 90 degrees so it's like a proper board!

3. annotation would probably work better with a board posted below so you would have a sequence, eg.
1. e4, e6
2. f4, etc, etc

4. change the K for the Knight to 'N' which is official annotation - 'K' is used solely for the king

5. whoever made the last Knight move - it was a crap move :lol:

because now the pawn move means the best place you can move to is back to where you came from and you gave the opposition a free piece development and prevented your bishop from being able to occupy the same spot now!

The board is the wrong way round, the kings are on the wrong side, and techically black (or green) went first.

The plusses are that the guy made an attempt, and a fairly good one i guess.....i meant no offence in my constructive critisism.

yeah, i made that move, i wasn't thinking then.

Knight should be Ns. Trust me, I know algebraic notation.

Try using white and grey for the board, and cyan and black for the pieces....as long as white is on the bottom (cyan maybe) it should work
