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

[MimbresValley]

well Its a variation on the benko opening g3, its usually transposes to a kings indian or kings knight defense. cant remember their names.hhaa

So when I got out of high school went to college for one semester, LOL
I had a math class I ended up dropping, but the math professor was some fucking genius, he was like 28 and already had his doctorate it math, he mentioned he like playing chess and after I dropped his class I asked if he would like to play.

We played about 50 games that semester I only won once, when he ran out of time.
LOL.

the g3 was his favorite move, and he would almost always play it.
Granted this was like 8years ago, whatt I remember him saying about the game was

The opening works more on an indirect control of the center as opposed to a e4, or d4 or night opening.
Later when the center opens up more the bishop is on a powerful square controlling the diagonal. He was also big on castling early,
Its important to not get a "bad bishop" when playing this.
He would also go by points, for instance if I lost two pawns, even early in the game, he would say you have already lost.

2 advantages equates to a win, unless you make a mistake to negate it.
He was always talking about time, space, shit I can't remember what else he would say, im real sporadic when it comes to playing chess, I have only played a hanful of times the couple years, and just started getting back into playing a couple months ago.

I also have greatly enjoyed this game we are playiner here.

to me this has been more fun than just logging onto a site and playing.

as for chess notation, had to google it this morning, cause I cant remember jack about the different ones.
So after a little reading, I guess I like abbreviated algerbraic notation, but sometimes I slip in a full algerbraic notation.

The other notation is descriptive, and it confuses me.
Here is what a board looks like when doing the descriptive notation.

Have you ever seen those strange letters and numbers listed in chess books and chess news articles? You were looking at chess notation. Chess notation is the written language of the game used to record matches fully. They are also used in instruction on how to play chess in books and tutorials.
Chess notation come in three basic forms, namely: Algebraic Notation, Descriptive Notation and Forsyth Notation. Let us look at each in turn.
Algebraic Notation
This chess notation type is the standard method of recording games. The vertical lines or files are named after letters of the alphabet, a-h with a starting at the queen's side and h at the king's side. Horizontal lines are numbered 1-8 with 1 at white's back rank and 8 as black's back rank.
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 A B C D E F G H
Symbols
K - King, Q - Queen, R - Rook, N - Knight, B - Bishop, O-O - Castle Short, O-O-O - Castle Long, + - Check, # or ++ - Checkmate
The square b1, therefore, refers to a white knight's home square. A move of e7-e5 refers to the black king's pawn advancing by two squares.
There two variations of the Algebraic Notation type: full and abbreviated. In the full notation, both the source square and arrival square are indicated; in the abbreviated version, only the latter is given. An exception to this is when two chessmen of the same kind can move to the same square; then the starting file or rank of the moving man is shown. s Full Abbreviated 3. a2-a3 a3 7. Bc1-e3 Be3 8. Qd1xg4 Qxg4
Descriptive Notation
The Descriptive Notation type will strike new players as easier to use than the Algebraic Notation. Here the locators are relative to the player's viewpoint. The files are the same for black and white, but the ranks run in opposite directions.
Each file is named after the piece in it and the monarch ruling that side. As you know, one side of the board is the king's side; the other is the queen's side. The file with the knights in it is the QN or QKN or queen's knight file. But the ranks differ so that white's QN3 is black's QN6.
For instance, white's KR2 refers to h7 in Algebraic Notation and to black's KR7.
1 8 2 - Black's ranks 7 3 6 4 5 5 4 6 White's ranks - 3 7 2 8 1 QR QN QB Q K KB KN KR
Forsythe Notation
The Forsyth Notation gives a quick review of chess board positions. Each rank is written from left to right (queen's side to king's side) and all chessmen are shown including pawns (which are omitted in standard notation).
A line of
3Bn2P/
� means three blank squares on the queen's side followed by a white bishop, immediately followed by a black knight, two more blank squares and a white pawn. This is only a partial notation; there must be eighth segments separated by slashes to describe the whole board which has eight ranks.
Symbols (white uppercase, black lowercase)
P, p Pawn R, r Rook B, b Bishop N, n Knight Q, q Queen K, k king / End of line # Any number means empty squares
To be able to record and review games in these various chess notations is a vital part of your chess education. You will notice different books and tutorials use different methods, so it is well you become acquainted with all of them. Besides, it's a nice way to impress your family and friends!

as for chess notation...

GREAT!!!

Seeing as I've already been reading basically non-stop lately, cannabis cultivation, genetics, breeding, catcher in the rye, under the dome, and a few others I'm full of new info...

Thanks for making my eyes bleed

Great post, thanks!
Sounds like your mentor understood temporal advantage.
:thumbsup:

Material advantage is obvious.
Positional advantage?
It's right in your face, hard to miss.
But give up too much time to gain those 2 pawns, and a good tempo player will usually prevail.
Don't let that worry you though. It only works with a good tempo player.
I'm jus' a wood pusher.

Meanwhile, has your queen noticed the enemy bishop in her bed?:stoned:

Don't count me in just yet, end game is my weak link.

Im stuck between the N b3-a5 or N b3 -c5 N b3-d2
or one of the rooks.

[MimbresValley]

Im going to go with R a1-d1
Was between that one and the knight to D2/
what would u have done?

[Slevinkal]

MV, you using a program to keep track or just paper?
