Hello NLers, I kinda find it peculiar that not much seems to be on about board games, particularly Chess. I find lots a scrabblers but not as much chessmen. Its preety much obvious that very few people (few is relative) know bout the game chess. If you are reading this and you play chess or would like to learn just holla by replying to this topic

i play chess

I play too

been years since i played.

Many have attempted it on this forum, but I don't know feasible or practical it is. I would like a scenario where we could play chess by way of text. You know start up a game, make a record of the moves on your end while i do same, analyse and make your move. All you just do is update your move on board. Anyone game?

Great Idea. Lets start:-

I will use short algebraic notation but can switch to long algebraic or English if an opponent prefers.
