Nf6 turns it into a gambit where Black has to hope white cannot hold onto the pawn

The URL would be:

http://www.brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=
with the # on then end of that.

All I did was look at a different game:
http://www.brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=50423
and remove the number so that you can edit and type in the number of the game you want to find.

Emne: How To Look Up a Game......???
Can anyone Please tell me how to go about looking at a game, when all I have is that game #

Emne: In most cases
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4 c3 tends to be the mainline so white can hold the central pawns.
After 4. Nc3 then 4. ... cxd4 5. Qxd4 Nc6 gives Black a good advantage. Whereas after 4. c3 , 4. ... cxd4 is a bit petty as after 5. cxd4 White has the central pawns and experience tells me that trying to take advantage of the weak looking a5-e1 diagonal is pretty difficult for black.

13. mars 2003, 23:53:48

I'm lloking at 1. e4, e6; 2. d4, d5; 3. e5, c5; 4. Nc3. Of course, 4...cxd is best as it asks questions at once! 4...Nc6 is not any bad move, but it isn't forcing and allows White to try something like 5. Nf3, cxd; 6. Nb5 (or perhaps even e2!). 4...cxd threatens ...dxc3 - so now what? 4. Qxd4, Nc6 with tempo.

13. mars 2003, 09:58:03
jondownie 
But what about 4 ... Nc6 then one of your alternatives? It is too early for cxd. White's advantage rests on the central pawns, black's position hinges on the queen side.

13. mars 2003, 01:06:28

Emne: Re: Analysis
Just 4...cxd and now what?
The interesting alternatives are 4. Nf3 and 4. Qg4, with 4. Bf4 in the hunt, too. Why play c3 when the idea is to keep the blockader on e5? Paging Nimzovitch!

12. mars 2003, 22:07:05

Emne: Analysis
Does anypne here want to talk analysis? What are your idea for the French Defence after,
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3. This seems to be the mainline, but you could alos have a look at 4. Nc3 which I consider far weaker.

Emne: Re: Help
If you click the settings link on the left column, and scroll to the bottom, there is a checkbox there called "Notify by e-mail if the opponent makes a move and I am not on-line". If you make sure this in unchecked, it should solve your problem :-)

It's actually 4 games for a provisional rating, not 5.

Emne: Re: Ratings
Four games gives you a provisional rating and after 25 games you will gave an established BKR.
BKR. BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula(*) for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. Click on a game type to get the current list of rated players sorted by their BKR.
Formula can be found:

Hi there :-)
You need to be a paying member to join the fellowships. If you ever do become one, there are some great fellowships to join already :-)
Being a BrainPawn (non-paying member) you can join one tournament at a time. If you click on the "Tournaments" link on the left column, a list of all the tournaments available for signups will come up. Click on the one you want to join, then the gametype, and then "sign me up for this tournament." Then you're signed up, ready to play :-)

Hope that helps!

Kevin

Bluegill, In this varint of chess, the opponent has the choice to either accept the move, or request the first player makes an alternative move.
This is another interesting variant.

I don't understand? How can a player refuse an opponents move as long as it's a legal move?

Hi sansone, and welcome! Favourite boards are discussion boards. At the top on every discussion board theres an option to 'add to favourite boards', then it will appear at the bottom of your page. That way you'll know straight away when theres new messages there. Hope that helps? :o)
Theres a question mark next to most stuff like that you can click on for info.

Emne: Refusal chess
Just an idea for another variant - this is where a player can refuse the opponent's move, and make them play an alternative move.
However, once a refusal has been made, the alternative must be accepted. A player may (or may not) refuse once each move.

coolknight, thank you. It IS mostly adults here but the minority of children/teenagers here should be considered too. I'm no prude, if you want adult chat while playing then thats entirely your choice, but privately, not on public discussion boards!!

Emne: Re:
coolknight.. maybe you would be happier in an adult chat room than on a games site?
All I can say is I hope I never have to play you in a tourney. I would certainly never accept an invite from you, dont you know children and teenagers use this site too?

Fencer 
Emne: Re: castle
Vikings: Yes, I've looked at the game and Bluegill is right. You cannot castle through a field being attacked [as her knight does]. It is specified in the rules, read them. If you could do such move on other sites, then the other sites are crappy because they don't follow the chess rules.

Kevin, Game#12303
Bluegill, I've never heard of that rule before, It seems to me that I've made that same move before on other sites. That is why I haven't moved yet. I wont wait too long.

2. januar 2003, 06:16:33
Bluefin 
Emne: Re: castle
Vikings, I believe thats our game your refering too. The reason you can not castle is you would be moving you king across the path of my knight. You can't move your king through a check.

2. januar 2003, 05:51:27
Kevin 
Emne: Re: castle
what is the game number? None of the squares involved can be in check, you cannot currently be in check and neither your king nor the rook involved can move previously to your castle for it to be a legal move.

2. januar 2003, 04:51:15

Emne: castle
I am attempting to castle in a game but it wont let me. I am not in check but my rook is in jeapordy, Is this not a valid move or is this is this a bug in the game?
