This is a thread for the first virtual chess game since forever ago i am going to post some pics of a board and a set of rules

[Skittlebisquit]

Is that the right way?

F4.

K just a sec

[Skittlebisquit]

Ok there you go. I can keep the board set for a match, but likey it will make more sense to set yours up too

[Skittlebisquit]

F4.

Do you want me to display f4?

 

[Skittlebisquit]

Ok

I cannot actually remember how to orient the board. I first played chess by mail in 1987.

Bird! Nice. That's one of my favourite openings.

 

[Skittlebisquit]

Maybe the letters go across and the numbers go up and down?

It's the other way around. I need to go to sleep now, though maybe @VictorR can continue the game for me. I like the bird as it's a bit less boring than the typical D4, but still doesn't disadvantage you immediately.

No because white is on the right in the back row, on both sides

 

[Skittlebisquit]

So you would say
White queens knight to c6
