Not letting me Castle !!!

Hi aquatabby

It is just me and S.G winding each other up. This is nothing.
Everyone can see I'm right, he is bringing in ficticious boys with ficticious
coaches and OTB play into it. I'll go along, I don't mind.

If you want to see a real argument start a thread about what is the better Bishop.
The King's Bishop or the Queen's Bishop.

Hi GP. Well that depends if you mean light or dark squared bishop which then depends if your playing black or white.

Thanks GP. My wife was reading the post. I said I recon the kings bishop as it tends to go active first to allow kings side castling.
She says im being sexist prefering the bishop affiliated to the king.

The argument has begun.

Ain't no smack talk like the good old days.

Well done, that is the game - and a good one!

Was the arbiter correct in answering Korchnoi's question?

Amazing how something as seemingly innocent as asking about the rules of chess can generate such heated, erm, argument (sort of) on both sides.

Funny, but also a little scary. I've never visited any of the more controversial forums here. I'm a little scared to now.

You should be. There be monsters.

I am talking about the White pieces.
There is no argument (unless you want to start one!) about which
is the better of the Black Bishops.

The Black King's Bishop (The Male Bishop!) it is the Dragon Bishop, The King's Indian Bishop,
The Benoni Bishop. The Pirc Bishop, The Modern Bishop. The Grunfeld Bishop.

It is all powerful and feared by chess players everywhere.

The Black Queen's Bishop (The Female of the species) is a meek Queen's
Indian Bishop and often in the QGD a totally liability.
