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

[Weezard]

And here's where I nail my own coffin shut.
P - KB3 ?

The qustion mark denotes a sketchy move.

Weezard
Wow I thought I posted my answer yesterday, but it's not here! My apologies.
B-K3!

@pentigram
Not even close! As a Young'n I played chess by what you would now call "snail mail". Took a week between moves.

Kids these days ! LOL Everythings gotta be instant.

Wow... Chess is a game that I wish that I could learn. It is the stoner game of all stoner games, and I just cannot seem to get the hang of it

[Budgazer]

Then follow this game and ask questions.
You can play Weezard next game!
Learn by doin'.
ok, by you Weezard?

Okay first question. What are the letter and number values that you guys are talking about?

[Budgazer]

Those sets of letters and numbers are an "old school" notation for our moves.

Lets look at my last move:
B-K3
It consists of the piece being moved
a hyphen and the square we are to move to

Fine, what do the letters and numbers actually mean?

There is a standard notation for each piece:

IIRC

K = King
Q = Queen
R = Rook or Castle
Kn = Knight
B = Bishop
Pn = Pawn

So the Letter is the piece to be moved, then the hyphen, finally the Letter and Number combination describes as follows Letter is the Left/Right position
sort of like Longitude on a map. Each Piece has a starting position and this is the name of that column.

Again the same example:

B-K3

K3 means the King's column.

The number denotes the UP/DOWN relation sorta like Latitude on a map

So, K3 is King's Column, third row.

Makes much more sense when you are looking at a board .

E komo mai, Pentigram.

Dat's da real skinny.
An' actually it's a long 5 or six games.
The last game with Dreaded Hermie was superb and wacky.
This one is getting odd, but BG plays well and I prolly just shot a few of my toes off with my last move.
Should be a short game.

Only t'ing I can add is that the rank is counted from square one to square 8 for each player.
So my square 1 is your square 8 and your square 1 is my square 8 .
While pondering, I like to switch my head from white to black, an' back. So I get "turned around" quite often and mis-call my moves.
'course the quality of da meds throw a wrench in da works too.:stoned:
That's why we call it stoner chess.

Aloha Gazer.
Server must be messing with you.
On the 16th, at 2:48 you did post that move and I replied with a questionable pawn move.
So, your turn ya stoner.
