done, lethal, sorry I totally spaced. you're killing me, anyway. it's funny how reading about chess hasn't really made me better. just more understanding of the ways I'm losing.

You really need to sign up at chess.com, though. It's a bit awkward at first, and I know it sucks to sign up at yet another site, but it does a much better job of visualizing the game than the facebook app.

I'll probably be a bit slower on here making moves than on chess.com.

btw, you can change it so you have to hit "submit" before your move is final just like on the actual website.

Do it. He'll probably get injured, and you'll win!!!!

You know when someone says something like, "It's like a game of chess. You have to think four moves ahead."?

That's not really what chess is about at all.

it's stupid in correspondence, but worth it in a timed game. i'm assuming it was the former

He's just hoping you're dumb and stalemate him.

MetsFan beat me. :oops:

But we're playing again and I think I have him this time.

He's got pawns, might as well use them. It'd be quicker than without and far more difficult to fall into a stalemate trap.
