I seem to have a mental block and a dislike to put a piece back on its starting square after moving it. I’ve seen it in grandmaster games, things like Bf8 or a Knight having to go back to b8 or g8 if attacked by a pawn. Another one is queen back to it’s starting square after moving. I seem to want t...

Thank you. quite like that move for white now you have pointed it out.

Might stick with the Qd4 move. However, i'm sure I read it in a chess book that it said black can play Qd4 or Qg5 in response to the capture of the e pawn.

hi. Doesn't happen enough but I like this line as black 1.e4 .....e5 2.Nf3.....Nc6 3.Bb5....a6 4.BXc6....dxc6 5.Nxe5....Qg5 White must play Nf3 or he loses the h2 pawn as well I like to grab the g pawn instead of the normal 5....Qd4 getting the e pawn back. Can someone put this into a diagram on her...

my friend defo watched it

A friend of mine says he found chess on Eurosport but it I think it was via the app or online streaming.

thanks

any more good stories?

Any repeats on in the early hours of the morning?

Will try and get it on catch up

If we could get the coverage even half as good as 1993 I’d be happy.
Channel 4 was great but even the BBC 2d board was decent with Mr Snow etc..

Would someone mind putting a board up and updating it on here?
Some of us cannot get to youtube or certain blocked websites.

If not too much trouble would be most grateful.

1st game will be Grob or Kings gambit.

are we doing updates on here for the game? youtube blocked at a lot of people's work

bring back 1993 type of coverage please :-) grrr! we live in a golden age when Grischuk and Girr do live commentary and people are longing for the days when Carol Vorderman interrupted Spess whenever he started to analyse! only after the game. Was fine during the game and watching on channel 4 in t...
