13. October 2005, 07:37:09 Subject: Strange move in darkchess @Walter Montego: 1...d6 might not be the best choice, but why then move 2.e5? I dont see any reason. Even to "hope" for 1...Nf6 is rubbish, because black sees the pawn on e5 and wont lose the knight. But anyway, it might be all luck and so lets see what happens next... 13. October 2005, 00:29:34 Subject: Strange move in darkchess Hi, There occured a very strange move in of my darkchess games. My opponent played 1.e4 and I answered 1...Nf6, after that he played 2.e5! This is of course theory, but how can he know that? I could also have played 1...d6, and then he would already be lost after 1...dxe5. Is he just weak or does he know what is going on because of a cheat? 5. October 2005, 05:54:16 Subject: Dark Chess Rules I have a question to the rules in Dark Chess: When do I get the information about the open fields? Is it after I made my move or after my opponent made his move. This ia a bgid difference, e.g. in the following game: 1.Nc3 g6 2.e3 Bg7 (if I get the information now, I can see the knight on c3) 3.Ne2 (If I get the information now, I can't see the knight any more). 1. October 2005, 21:09:39 @kipling seems you missunderstand the rule a bit? if your opponent gives three checks, you are lost! 1. October 2005, 02:53:54 Subject: Mandatory 1. Nc3 tournament for 3+ chess Hi,
I have been kicked out of the tourney because I didnt have enough free games left. (I thought that tournaments games will be countet extra). Anyway, it seems to be look that I don't take part, because some people seem to missunderstand the idea of 1.Nc3!? 1.Nc3 is a gambit line, which enables white to sacrifice a piece for one check by force, e.g.: 1.Nc3 e6 2.Nb5! Or 1.Nc3 c6 2.Ne4! The great question is wether black is able to defend this position with an extra piece but "being one check down". 24. September 2005, 01:43:48 Subject: 1. Nc3 might also lose! Dear friends,
now I am not sure at all, but 1 Nc3 could also lose! For example, 1.Nc3 Nf6 2.Nb5 c6 3.Nc7+ Qxc7 Black is only a piece up but he controls all fields in the middle and its very hard to make progress for white. Very surprising! Call 1.Nc3!? the "Doerdich-Gambit.... 22. September 2005, 21:19:57 Subject: 1. Nc3 Can you create such a tourney? I will take part. I hope all people will move 1. Nc3 ... 22. September 2005, 20:05:10 Subject: thematic tournament Hi, that is a good idea. I'm new here, how can I create such a tournament? I mean, "One Check" or "Two Check" Chess will be obviously lost for black, because of 1. Nv3. The question is, if black can defend in a "Three Check Chess" Game after 1. Nc3. My first impression was, that white has a very easy win, but in fact it seems more difficult. Anayway, I still think white is better. 22. September 2005, 17:22:57 Subject: Three Check Chess Hi all,
I propose to change "Three Check Chess" into "Four Check Chess" because if three checks already win, 1. Nc3!? seems too strong for white... |
