1. Nf3 e5 isnt as bad for black as one would think at a first glance. Right now im plaing a couple of games with that defense. if you are intrested in playing white aginst it, please do challenge me.
Chessmaster1000:
What is the point of being so secretive about an opening. Life is to short, just let it out. Mayby then someone else will save the black side.
mangue: JinkyOng is playing a couple of games currently. if he doesn't wipe the floor with anything brainking has to offer, that settles it as negative.
I guess anything is possible, although Fischer always has been real careful about his privacy and I don't think he would be that overt in letting his real identity be known.
Those Internet Chess Games were always speculation as to whether Fischer played them or not. Something like an urban legend among chess players.
Someone: Who has deleted JinkyOngs original post with his two games? Now there are four further posts who don't make sense anymore. In my eyes either his post has to be restored or all subsequent ones have to de deleted as well.
Someone Else: You have asked why I'm sure that JinkyOng isn't Bobby Fischer, but you also deleted your post. Well, I didn't say that, I was just linking to an article where one of JinkyOngs games has been discussed. But now I'm not sure anymore about his identity because I've received a mail which makes it more probable that he is him:

BlueJ: The rules say "the target locations of the king and the rook doing the castling move are the same as in standard Chess". So your king will go to c1 and your rook to d1.
See http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=67
JinkyOng: I guess you tried to show and prove that your superiority is enough to win even by playing incredibly stupid moves at the opening and losing many tempo's and destroying your King safety at all....
And you succedded in doing that, against all these considered strong players that they have proven to be only some weakies for you, right....?
bobwhoosta:
You win if you capture a _piece_ that causes the explosion of the opponents' King but at the same time doesn't cause the explosion of your King.
This _piece_ can be the opponents King as well.
SMIRF Engine: To say the truth, I had initially also made the same request for 10x8 variants, but I have already received a lot more that could fit into the Encyclopedia.
Good news for all of you who sent me games for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Chess Variants : after the sad death of the author David Pritchard, it would have been a real pity that his huge work stayed unfinished, and indeed the task has been taken over by John Beasley.
He is the editor of the Variant Chess magazine and is undoubtly competent enough to continue David's work. The most interesting games might find there place in the magazine as well (on of them, with my annotations, has already been published there).
So, good-quality variant games are still welcome !
Pafl: Well your game is fun, doesn't look "pathetic" at all :-). The other one is stranger, with Black responding to a "check" by putting himself in a double check, and then winning the game !
But none of them really features play with KQRBN v KQRBN. As long as there is another piece on the board, this extra piece has unrestricted attacking possibilities and I would not call the position an endgame. However it is of course just a matter of words.
grenv: I told you that it is silly game! As i've said i think between 2 logically strong players a draw is the clear result. I feel squeezed when i play this game so i hate it too.....!
grenv: Oh LOL! Then just try to explain him that there is no other way.....! I can't believe that a 1500 Legan rated player can't see this.....
I'm sure he will understand except if he wants to made it in purpose or he has other reasons.....
Perhaps he waits for you to gain an established BKR or a high one, as then he would lose less points with the draw....Just guesses....
nabla: I have made it once to the A HREF=" ">http://brainking.com/cz/ArchivedGame?g=750636"> 30th move but only due to a series of blunders as me and my opponent were both rather pathetic players.
The most "endgamish" endgame I have ever seen is probably in this game of my friend Diogenes against Votacommunista. Only I do not quite understand the ending of the game which Diogenes should have won quite obviously.
Pafl: Good question ! Of course a chess-like endgame is impossible in Extinction, but we could choose to call endgames all positions where both camps have only unique pieces except of pawns (that is, KQRBN v KQRBN). I didn't reach any here yet, but it doesn't seem an unlikely issue at all.
Now, many of the positions just after the last piece trade will probably be either simple forced wins, either dead draws with all pieces having to stay on their posts in order to avoid a breakthrough. Has anyone played an interesting "endgame" here ?
