Make my king and rook switch positions? I have seen other players do this against me.

The move itself is called a CAstle. To do it on this site, IIRC (ive only played 3 games here lol) you take your king and move it 2 in the direction that you want to caslt in. The site will automatically move your rook. And if you dont know much about castling ie when it can and cannot be done, there will be someone here who can explain it better than I

Thank you boys/girls. So far I love the site. The people play ruthlessly good moves but are still nice to me.

as for your profile... Who ever told you it was a learning experience to play on when you have lost?

Resign bud. It shows that you are at least bright enough to KNOW when you've been beaten without making the screen say "Checkmate - You Lost"

Come on guys, give the guy a break... He's not hurting anyone is he?

He still has a lot to learn, our two games yesterday demonstrated that. With time comes wisdom, with wisdom comes wins.

Now, about the vacation flag Winning Machine... That flag is to be used when you are leaving for a couple days or more. This site is correspondence chess, meaning that it will likely take multiple days to finish a single game. Which is also the reason why you have a timeout clock. This allows you to take plenty of time in order to think about your moves, and make smart desisions.

One final word of advice...ALWAYS WATCH OUT FOR THE 4 MOVE CHECKMATE!

no, of course I was not trying to lose. Just because you have played chess before doesn't mean everyone else has... And I'm sure there are other players on this site who are not as good as me. But I am glad that people are looking at my games, I mean people have already looked at my profile and even commented on my games in the forums!... I even have fat mans revenge as my friend. I usually don't get this much attension when I go somewhere new, especially on the internet. Well thank you all for your time, and have fun!
