Chess game.

[A Former User]

This is a correspondence game. I trust that whoever decides to play me will not use an engine. There is no time limit but I will check the forum every day to see if you made a move. I will play as white to start the game. Post your move to start a game with me. My first move is 1. e4
Good luck and have fun!

Alright, let’s give it a shot! I won’t use engines, databases, chess books, or the advice of other players. But I can’t make any promises on posting frequency either. Life does tend to get in the way and my tendency towards procrastination doesn’t really help there.
But if that’s all fine with you, then here is:

Good luck!

@Topmat @KaLeu
I have moved your chess game to “Play Boardgames”.
Though it is not A&A it appears to be more appropriate there.
As “Other Games” is for discussing, not for playing “online”. :smirk:

Enjoy your game. I will look at it from time to time.

Good luck! Looks like the Sicilian! Interesting.

Take your time. Thats what is so great about correspondence games anyway. My move is 2. d4. I made a mistake. Looks more like the Caro-Kann defence.

[KaLeu]

@Panther Thanks, that’s excellent. Who knows, maybe others will start other games there as well.

[KaLeu]

@Topmat To which I respond 2… d5, making it a Caro-Kann indeed.

Very well. 3. e5
Sorry my reply has been slow. I was sick woth a bad cold.

[KaLeu]

@Topmat Take it easy and get well soon!

Ooooh, I’ve heard that with my next move, that it is one of the sharpest openings in all chess theory. 4. Nc3

[KaLeu]

@Topmat Yep, that’s definitely aiming for a sharp game. I’ll of course play the standard move 4… e6.

@KaLeu I have ran out of memory. I hope this isn’t bad. 5. Bd3

[KaLeu]

@Topmat I don’t think it’s bad, though it’s probably a less common move. I’ll go for 5… Ne7 in response.

Here is the PGN-file representing the current game for all interested spectators.
I will provide updates as the game moves on…

As the forum does not allow uploading the pgn-format, simply change the file extension from “txt” to “pgn”.
