Interesting. But what to play first? Tg3 or Kg3 or something else? too much possibilities...

joshi tm: What is "Tg3"?

I meant "R". T is the Dutch notation ;) pardon me ;)

joshi tm: Ah, got it. Well, I usually start with king (as white). But I am not sure if it is the best strategy.

Fencer: I often like to play Be4 as my 1st move, although I can't say if this is the best move or not! As black I usually reply to this move with Ka3, protecting the rook.
Thanks for introducing this game, I think it's a great addition! :-)

Ok, this is probably a stupid question. I have re-looked at the rules, and I still can't figure it out.

In this game, Racing Kings (Tycho vs. rod03801) , why can I not move my knight? I can move every other piece, except that one.

Sorry for wasting anyone's time, if the answer is obvious!

rod03801: The black knight is pinned: if it moved the bishop would put the white king in check, which is illegal in this game - very counterintuitive for a chess game! Sort of like a reverse pin! :-)

agentofchaos: Ahh yes. I see now. Thank you very much.

Look at this game:
Koningsrace (joshi tm - Hannelore)
Shouldn't Black get another move befor I win? Or is the BK script so smart that she was chanceless in this game to draw?

joshi tm: Black can only draw if their king can reach the 8th rank immediately after white does. This was not possible in this position so there is no reason for black to get another move. I think this shows the script is enforcing the rules.

probably not opening often, but is stalemate a draw here too?
