Caissus: I don't know why people say he's so good. I crushed him easily.

JinkyOng: This is the first time I've seen descriptive notation used for a 10 × 8 board. Is this game on the Gothic Chess site?

JinkyOng: I knew that you would win! But why do I not find the game here : http://www.gothicchesslive.com/players-games.php ?

Caissus: That game can be viewed on Gothicchesslive now.

JinkyOng:
Actually a nice conclusion especially for a game nearing the end of a 3-0 speed chess time control. Also surprisingly not too bad to follow in Descriptive notation, although 20...P-R5 probably should have been 20...P-R4. I am one of those players old enough to have first learned with that type of notation. Has Ed been keeping the record of games up to date? It doesn't seem like anything more recent than March is on the link that Caissus supplied below.

Can anybody perhaps translate this game in algebraic notation? Thanks.

JinkyOng: Probably : 20...P-R4, then it could look like following:

SMIRF Engine:
You beat me to it. I was about to sit down and do a translation after eating breakfast. However lucky I checked again before starting the task! :-)
