Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

Q4 - Q5 is OK though.
But, I own Q6.

No, wait--I don't know where we are.

Six posts back you tried to move a queen, and the sequence didn't get less strange after that.

Have a heart, I smoked a fatty and am having a little trouble here...

Q - Q3

If Kn X P

Then B X P

---

If by Q - Q3 you mean B -Q3 (to block my pawn), I get it so far.

Kn x P is not a good move--loses the knight.

B x P not possible(?)

Let's go back to the diagram at post 710
and play it again then.

B - Q3

N x P

Hey, where'd that pawn come from?

Musta messed up a diagram or something. Okay, now B x P is possible. Don't know what happened before...:stoned:

I musta got ahead of myself, too. Now the N x P loses the knight. I musta thought I was there (at KN5) a move early.

So, you still want B x P?

If so, I'd go N - K6.

Green!
K - KB2

Now is a crisis point.

W

Well, I'm not sure how this part is supposed to go.

N - Q4

Or is it just a race between the pawn and king?

The pawns increase in value with every step/inch.
Use the advantage of your knight .
Indirect attack
I'll bring my king up for support.
K - KB3

N - K2

B - Q3

N - QB3

Aloha, :stoned::D

K - K4

Is this right?

Wiping up the drool around the board...
Goodness! Thought it would be an interesting experiment to try to wolf down a whole joint of my one-hit wonder couchlock. Made me stoopid! "Uplifting, inspirational"... not hardly. Great for pain and insomnia, which is a blessing for me. Not a suitable recreational strain, apparently.

Starting back with post #710's diagram:

[attachment=o230240]

We've played:

W.: B - Q3
DH: N x P
W.: B x P
DH: N - K6 (first time through I had moved P-Q5 (Post#715))
W.: K - KB2
DH: N - KB4 (I miscalled that one as N-Q4 --figgered you caught it; I have a pawn at Q4 already)
W.: K - KB3
DH: N - K2
W.: B - Q3
DH: N - QB3

Which takes us to this:

[attachment=o230241]

If that looks right to you, your latest move ( K - K4) would put you in check.

Please take a look and substitute an alternate reality as desired. I was liking my pawn being a square closer to pay dirt, but he's also useful at Q4 in frustrating your king. So, whatever.

I apologize for my incompetence. Reconstructing our play over the last few moves has been instructional in its own way, though. Bear with me and I'll try to give you a decent game one of these months...Hermie

Yup I still had the move from post 715 in dere.
So, looks good now.
King gonna stay outta dere.
And I move to K3 instead.
Now black's problem is what to move and where.

Don't beat yourself up, it's STONER chess,yah?
Just list inebriants.

Inerbiants for last night: G13/BB with 6 hour of sun.
Calling it FunderFudd cause it turns me into an Elmer.:S5:

Think I'll stick to "donkeydick" and "Cogito" for the end game.

Aloha.
Weeze

Snob. :D

My level of play demands cough syrup and tequila shooters. :thumbsup:

Bottoms up,

N - QN5

Theoretical question:
Can you win, if all ya have left is your king?
Perhaps by creating an "all moves lose" situation? (I know there's a word for that...zwiegclang or suppin'..)

I guess a king can't really threaten the other king. They must be lawyers.

B - KR2

If you lose the pawn, the game is over.

That li'l "O. B. Juan Kanobe" is your only chance.:D

Damn the lawyers, full speed ahead!
Weeze.

(Your) KR2 is a black square (?)

OK make it your KR2:)

OK. Wasn't being a wise-ass, not sure I understand that move (yet). ;)

[attachment=o230256]

I guess it does cramp my style a bit.

Simple, really.

Bishop can watch from there with less danger of getting forked.
And then there's
B - KKN8 check!

A great lesson here!
If a move seems senseless, look to the future it creates.

Moving to either safe square is a disaster
Black will take the pawn and threaten the knight.
Best black can hope for now, is a draw.

Sneaky little cleric, ain't he?

Weeze

Well, there's a lesser of evils.

K-Q2

you: B x P (?)

me: N - Q2

Green?

If you meant Kn - K2, emerald!:D

And K - K4

Sorry to have dragged this out for so long but I needed to see the mechanics of an endgame.

I know normally black should have resigned awhile back.

I would like to play it out a bit longer just to see how it unfolds, if you don't mind. I won't overthink it.

Anything adjacent to your king is safe from my king, so if the entire royal entourage marches downfield to promote a pawn, I don't think black can prevent it.

N-KN3, if you would humor me for a move or two...

You forgot to call check.:jointsmile:
K -Q4

Because I must.

Not quite enough reach. I got:

[attachment=o230275]

If that's correct, you're good at K4 and can avenge either pawn that I have forked.

Actually, looks like your move might be P - K6. Puts me in check and stops my harrassment for a move.

My intent is to sacrifice the knight, if necessary, to take out one of your pawns, and try to get the other with my king. Dunno if that causes a draw or not. Preventing promotion seems like my strongest weapon at this point. (?)

Betta.
Good mornin'
I'll just use dat to advance.
P - KB5

Not time for check

Aroint ye naughty ka-night.

Or similar "last words."

N x P

Of course, you advanced the pawn that['s harder for my king to intercept...:mad:

Of course.

K X Kn

Black resigns.

Thanks, you've been patient.

I see how this goes now. :thumbsup:

I'll play again when you're ready... :D

I'm game.:cool:

Almost done with the Tanning bed tests.:thumbsup:
It got kinda surreal there for a while.:stoned::stoned::stoned::stoned::stoned:
Got one last G13 flowered with sunlight only, but perfectly timed.
Been watching it closely..
This one will be taken just before sun-up tomorrow.
~10 days to dry. 2 weeks cure, then another bake-off.
Tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.:jointsmile:
