I don´t understand why the system manager told me " Black has 16 pieces left".. Could you tell me why? } 1. e4 { BigDaddy: Sorry "Black has 16 pieces remaining" } 1... e6 { Dragon Fire: Because you cannot see what you have taken it always tells you how many pieces your opponet has left. } 2. Nc3 { BigDaddy: Ahhhhh thanks;)) } 2... d5 3. Nf3 dxe4 4. Ng5 f5 { BigDaddy: But how can I see if you wanted to take one of my nights...? } 5. f4 exf3 { Dragon Fire: You can't. You need to try and work it out. But any valid move you make will always be accepted. Invalid ones are rejected so you can try and obtain information by making possibly invalid moves and if the rank, file or diagonal is blocked it won't work also if you try a pawn capture and it is not on you find out but beware don't try these things unless you are prepared o make the move (it might be valid) } { Dragon Fire: Also you know if you are in check or have given check but not by what. } 6. Qe2 fxg2 { Dragon Fire: Why not try Dark Suicide also. Theres a tournament open. } 7. Nf3 { BigDaddy: Is Dark Suicide easy } 7... gxh1=Q { Dragon Fire: No games are easy. It is different. You must take (if you can) and the objective is to lose all your pieces, including your King. } { BigDaddy: I mean easier than this variant } { BigDaddy: ^^ } 8. d4 Qxf1+ { Dragon Fire: Much easier than this variant. This variant is VERY hard. } { BigDaddy: OK } 9. Kd2 Qxc1+ 10. Rxc1 { Dragon Fire: You have let me go crazy with a P here. Surely you worked out I played 3.PXe4,5.PXf3,6.PXg2,7.PXR=Q,8.QXB+,9.QXR+. Why did you never recapture my P. Always check the last move to see if you have lost anything. That tells you where 1 of your opponents pieces is. ALWAYS try pawn captures. If you cannot push a P you know something is on the square in front. If you cannot move your K you know your opponent covers that square, etc. etc. } 10... Qh4 { BigDaddy: OK } { BigDaddy: But i don´t like this variant } 11. Qd3 Qxh2+ { BigDaddy: I´m back^^ Now I have a strategy^^ But just for new parties^^ } 12. Kd1 Qh1+ 13. Ke2 Qxc1 14. Qd1 Qh6 15.
