What does this mean? I do not understand ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Could you be more simple? Thanks :-) PS>I also never played chess on message bases before, but i PS> hoping that someone would tell us how to play. Me too. But I think I coud learn from the other messages. PS> The way that i think it is done, from reading the previous games. PS> Is that One player moves and writes it down in the message base and PS> logsoff and waits for player number 2 to respond and make his move. PS> And everyday the game continues on the message base until there is a PS> winner. Yes it's just like that, but how about the notation? a1-b1? Do you have a chessboard with letters and numbers it's like naval battle So they use the notation in this way. First they mark which piece they're gonna move TO example: a1 (the tower) TO the other location a5, so it's looks like this a1-a5 he moves the tower form 1 to 5, and i think that's it. PS> Can some of the more experienced players tell me if i'm on the PS> right track? I think that we're in the right track (is the same if i say way? I'm still learning English, you know...:-)) PS> Anyway if someone wants to get a game going give me a shout. I do. So when you're ready to start playing let me know, cause'I will search the possision of the letter and number. Also who will start you or me? how we will decide?
