    You had my bishop, and from there it was purely academic. Plus, I'm on my way out the door.

    You had an opportunity to hold a rape party on my King's side with your knights shortly before I castled that you really should have taken advantage of. I thought I'd lost there, but then you let me scare you away.

    I didn't quite have your bishop, unless I'm missing something. I figured you'd move your king up, then I'd fork them, and then you'd block with your rook. I was planning on trading rooks and seeing what happened from there.

    I'll have to look back through the history to see what you mean about the king's side rapeage.

    Than was actually pretty close to checkmate. If visible moved his bishop at all and didn't put Than into check, then it was checkmate in 1.

    Yeah, I was really nervous about that. Every time it was my turn, I had to be sure to remind myself of it so I didn't move that bishop. That's exactly the kind of stupid move I make a lot.

    In any case, good game Thanatos.

    It tells me only trusted players can chat. That when I play more it'll turn off the restriction.

    I mean, I could just whisper to you but that's cumbersome.

    Wait are you on the standard chess or the new chess. And if it's standard how do you switch rooms? It automatically puts me into social lounge 13.

    I'm in new chess, I think. If you're doing standard, I think instead of clicking "play now" you can choose a room from the main web page.

    I was trying to figure out how to get it to use dyscord as a display name, but I guess it doesn't work in their little games application.

    If you setup an alias, then close and rejoin the chess popup then it should put you as Dyscord. You may need to add numbers to the name though.

    That was my only hope, for you to feel uncomfortable moving that queen away from the front and just move your king instead (thus giving me mate). Good game!

    Man, that's somewhat depressing. I had a great opening (aside from me flubbing the 2nd move but that fixed itself), good mid-game, and absolutely collapsed late game.

    you know I didn't think to look at the yahoo rules, do they replace pieces when you advance a pawn to the opposite side?

    is that a completely standard thing to do?
