I have a love/hate relationship with chess. Right now, I'm playing a game via email with Paul Caskey. I'll add some more stuff about this later, perhaps including some groovy links.
| 1. | e4 | e5 | Someday I'll learn an interesting opening . . . |
| 2. | Nf3 | Nc6 | |
| 3. | Bc4 | Bc5 | Giuoco Piano--Actually, this one's pretty interesting. I just feel inadequate about not understanding the Sicilian. |
| 4. | c3 | Nf6 | |
| 5. | d4 | exd4 | |
| 6. | cxd4 | Bb4+ | |
| 7. | Nc3 | Nxe4 | |
| 8. | O-O | Nxc3 | |
| 9. | bxc3 | Bxc3 | |
| 10. | Ba3 | Bxa1 | Ever get that funny feeling you just ate a poison Rook? |
| 11. | Re1+ | Resigns | Oh yeah . . . |
Paul & I were both disappointed with this game--my play was poor, and we both stayed mostly in-book. Hopefully, the new game will be better.
