I've updated the main page pic and used the SciFi theme (without the gaudy pieces) for kicks.

Let's see...

</font></li> - <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Better defensive position if I bring my white bishop to b5.
</font></li> - <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Threatening my knight at f3.
</font></li> - <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Would defend your knight if you brought it to d5. </font></li>
<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Did I miss anything, you fiend? :p

I'm sure we can come to some accomadations.
I'll put more concentration on the new one. I'll also set it up so that we both can update the pics..

Either that, or play it through the ChessRally interface if you have it. :D

OK I have just finished formatting and putting the OS on... so I should be back in the game shortly.
Mat is foolish enough to come in the chatroom when I am there and gets grilled about moves... If anyone else comes in that knows about chess, they get grilled too.

I'm sure Mat and the others are giving you excellent advice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
In my case, it's a bit more difficult to be objective - even though it is a tutorial game - being involved in it.
I have to remind myself constantly that the goal is to give you tips on drafting up your own strategies (and you seem to be picking it up quite nicely), not necessarily win the game. :rolleyes:
I'll be out today and tomorrow, but if I can sneak in a peek I will.

Cool, breathing space... /me goes back to putting office back...

So having taken onboard all the advice I can muster, I will move my Bishop to D7

18w.h4 (or Ph4 if you prefer)
Reason:
It just feels right :cool:
There isn't much I can do to prevent your castling, so I'm trying to open up a bit to develop my pieces.

w00t!! the game continues!
Hmm, now i got think about this one
