Yes please

The trouble with a protracted game is that you tend to forget the (flawed?) reasoning behind some of your moves.

G4 - G5

Ooooooh Countdown....that might be a good game to start... *goes off to think*

I know what you mean Fluffy about protracted games...but it's just a bit of forum fun

Hi Syd

Good luck with that idea

Oh yes I know. I just realised after that wee break that I had absolutely no idea why I made that 2nd move, except that it seemed like a good idea at the time.

It's all about the power of the mind. you can see the concentration on extremely fluffy fluffy thing's brow. she hasn't moved a muscle since 1.28pm. (she is probably still trying to remember why she did that 2nd move).

Heatseek has a glint in his eye (are you a he?)
He's forming a plan and knows that if extremely fluffy fluffy thing does not remember her original tactic she may well fall into heatseeks extremely hot trap. does she realise what move F6 - E4 could develop into?

has carols commentary scared you off?

I think I'm on the back foot already!
However....:-

D2-D3

EFFT makes her move, D2-D3. This could be a turning point in the game... has heatseek got a suitable return missile to launch?

Your commentary is great BB

Hi Fluffy, hope you're feeling better...

E4-G5

for those of you watching in black and white, heatseek is playing black

Not too bad now, thanks.

Yes I'm a bloke...E6-E5

Heatseek, you're playing chess at 3/4 in the morning!!!


The tension is increasing amongst the onlookers - how will BeerBelle respond? At this very moment, she is in discussion with her baby, plotting her next move.

The board is poised... on the edge of the cyber table!!

No, not the cyber table, delete, delete, delete.


Thinks to himself, I shouldn't have had those magic mushrooms with my bacon and eggs this morning.

Deffo shouldn't have had those mushrooms. 'Tis I who is playing chess. Belle is providing the commentary.

H2-H3

I realised that after I posted, but I wasn't going to change it because I knew you would pick it up, and if I now edit it, it would make your posting look odd. And I can plead insanity due to the mushrooms.

the crowd appear to be going mad with excitement!

The posting I made at 7:52 pm was a little experiment. I am hoping that there is a handdrawn image saying "I have gone mad" which I created myself. I know that I can see it if I am logged on, but if I am not logged on, the image does not appear.

Can someone who is logged on please confirm whether or not they can see the image. Thanks.

I am logged on right now and I can see that you think you have gone mad and that Belle saw you go mad too. You don't fool us, pretending that some poor wee 5 year old has written 'I am going mad' in several different coloured letters.

Thanks for that, Fluffy. I'm back to normal.

I was just doing a little experiment, where I created a Gif file from Paint, downloaded it on to the gagajoyjoy site via the Add Attachment on a posting. Then did the posting on this thread with the image linked to the file on the gagajoyjoy site (as I would not want to have a direct link between my computer and the forum - even if that's possible).

Downsides are that the attachment is restricted to 300k and that the resulting image is not visible unless you are logged in.

Oh right. You mean that if I was just viewing as a guest I would just see a blank space in your post. No writing.?

That's right, you would just see a space with a little box with a red cross in the corner to show that the picture was not available. Subject to the downsides, the attachment method looks as if users can create their own pictures in the form of GIF files for use in their postings.

This is one possible use. Create a little Excel spreadsheet with sizing the cells to that of a chessboard. The background colour of alternating squares can easily be changed from white to give the appearance of a chessboard. Download a chess font (there are such fonts). Create the chess position that you wish to show. This can of course be saved which would be useful. Select the 64 cells of the board and Ctrl-C or Copy. Go into Paint and paste the picture. You need to set the size of the Paint screen to the size of the image. Use the Save As function and select the GIF type.

You can now download this on to the forum via the Add Attachment method as I have described above.

Caveat - I haven't tried this out in detail but it should work in theory.

Ignore this please

This is the result of my experiment from above.

There are a number of chess fonts on the following
http://www.enpassant.dk/chess/fonteng.htm

I downloaded the Chess Alpha 2 font and installed that. I created an Excel spreadsheet setting the width of cells to 3 and the height to 20. I set the font size to 18.

Black pieces are I pawn, J bishop, K knight, L Rook, M Queen and N King. White pieces are the same but lowercase.

I created the diagram, copied and pasted into Paint. I set the attributes for the Paint screen to 210 by 210. The rest is as described above.

These are appropriate for my pc setup but yours may be different.

Very seeable on mine. the pawns seem a little off centre, but otherwise it's fine.

Hi chess fans sorry to keep you waiting Fluffy...

Alright Bov
