MerryHatManMorning everyone, and not sure I believe that Alain :)
KYOUGENMAWASHIHi
NatashaReganhi
Hurricane_Freyhiya
abdekkerI think I've got the pieces now...
KYOUGENMAWASHIgl
NatashaReganI'm in trouble now then..
abdekkerIs that a dropped pawn, Natasha?
abdekkerIt looks different
NatashaReganIt's a lance
abdekkerOh, lance, oops
NatashaRegangg
Schadenfreude_gg cricket
abdekkerOh, you can't drop more than one pawn on a file?
CricketForJapathank you for the game. Interesting opening phase.
abdekkerI was trying and it kept popping me back to the list o fpieces...
NatashaReganthat would be nifu, which loses!
abdekkernifu?
NatashaRegan2 pawns on the same file
abdekkerIs "nifu" the actual Japanese term for "two pawns on the same file"? Who knew?
KYOUGENMAWASHIni means 2 in Japanese and fu means pawn in Japanese.
NatashaReganni is two in Japanese
abdekkerOK, thanks! Just looked it up on Wikipedia as well. Learning lots today!

MerryHatMangg
KYOUGENMAWASHIgood luck
degringoladeI need to leave myself more time so I can remember how the pieces move!
abdekkerWhat is this "impasse" button (next to "resign"?
abdekkerjust tried to nifu again! Good thing it stops me...
degringoladeI think it adds up each side's pieces when both kings are uncheckmateable
abdekker"uncheckmateable" is definitely a new word for me! (and I suspect the world at large)
Hurricane_Freyoops, forgot the rook was there ;-;

Hurricane_Freynooooooooooo! missclicked cos of touchscreen
Hurricane_Frey;-;
Schadenfreude_oh no Freya
KYOUGENMAWASHIgood game
NatashaRegangood games all! Congrats Kyouge
Hurricane_Freyggs
abdekkerCan you put twoi lances on the same column (thinking of nifu)?
KYOUGENMAWASHIThat's legal move.
abdekkerkonnichiwa
abdekkerAnd this is Bronstein time, right? When you get "+15s" if you use 20s to move, you lose 5s (permanently) from your starting time, right?
abdekkerI kept thinking it was Fischer time.
KYOUGENMAWASHIkonnichiwa
degringoladegg
MerryHatManPhew, gg
abdekkerWow, well done Merry
MerryHatManThe time control means you have a bank of 7 mins, then 15 sec per move once you've used it. No increment or delay
MerryHatManSo once you "run out" of time, it becomes like lightning chess
abdekkerAh, so neither Bronstein or Fischer, then.
abdekkerQuestion: Nifu means you can't put two pawns on a file. What happens if you promote a pawn. Can you put another pawn on that file?
