One more needed. Spartaculous are you playing this round?

Previous results: Game 1: 0-1 Rules: 1. Six to eight players, randomly split in two teams, will take turns for each move, without a strict rotation in each team. 2. Open to all skill levels, the only requirements are knowledge of how the pieces move and standard notation. 3. Players may draw as long...

Good game, would be happy to do another one of these.

I think I would play another round as well; I would defer to someone else to do the signups and setup.

I'd be happy to set up a new game.

So what do you guys think was the best move? Not engine-wise but in your own opinion?

Probably 13. f4 Bb7, that was the move where black began to gain an advantage and force white to respond to each attack.

good game everyone!

The knight lives on!

Knight still has not moved. Will it before the end of the game?

I think that Black shouldn't accept a draw at this point.

We do have a decent positional advantage right now.

So, ah, it seems like Team Chess has degenerated into something worse than Team Cheese... is this the end of the game?
