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

[Weezard]

oh I see, so when doing the second notation you just did, both players are on the 1 side.
if that makes sense.

p - f3

Kinda.
In classic notation, each player counts from their 1st rank towards the opposition.
That's what throws me with the grid notation.

However, I should have typed;

Black: Queen to King's bishop's 3

(Not gonna happen, I'm way too lazy fo' dat.)

So, we "shorthand" Q - Kb3
It is understood that it's Black's Queen and Black's King side bishop's file.

Once understood, one can mentally "see" the moves without referring to a grid for co-ordinates.

I once played a 40 move game in my head because we had no board, or light, or paper, or clothes.
Had to shout the moves through a 4" vent hole in the back of the cell.
Long story.


So I will address your Pawn to Kb3, with;

Qb - Kb4 En Guard!

aka: C1 - F5

And thanks fo' da kudos, but it was the only decent move I had.
You have done remarkable damage with a very odd opening.

Does it have a name, or didja jus' "wing it"


Aloha,
