Chess!

[donchatryit]

Rules are simple:
This is a game of chess played according to standard rules and with the moves written in English algebraic notation. Whoever posts next takes the next move so it is kind of an all-play all match. Illegal moves are ignored. It might help to have a board handy.

I'll start.

1. e4

2. Rf3

Either I'm missing something really obvious, or I don't understand how the rook can go to f3.

Assuming you mean 2. Nf3:

2. ... Nc6

Can't work out the editor so
3. Bb5

(Bc4 would have been boring unless someone fancies the fried liver.)

Whoops forget that. Here it is:

4. Nc3

Thanks! (I know there is some reason that defending the e-pawn isn't necessary here but I can't think why).

4. ... Bc5

If you didn't defend the e-pawn, I'd have captured it and ended up with a very strong knight.

[Absolutis]

5. O-O
(btw, was using the finnish notation there, Knight = R there)

[Level Crossing]

5. ... d6

PS Let's all keep the diagram updated. It's easier.

6. d3

Noone fancy taking a risk and throwing some imbalance into this position?

[Absolutis]

6. ...Bg4

the editor does not want to give the image link with iPad.

You mean 7. ... bxf3

To that I reply 8. Qxh3

PS After you make the move, you have to click URL and copy/paste the middle one only for the link to be correct.

[donchatryit]

Actually, that would have only been accurate if a pawn on the b-file had taken something on f3, which is, of course, impossible. B = Bishop, b = pawn on the b-file.
