Ok Darth, since Warbler has deemed me your next challenger, I’ll give it a try.
I don’t know how this works, but it looks like you’ve been letting challengers move first. If that’s still ok, and presuming we just jump in, I’ll try:
1.e4

Be aware that I will be much busier for the rest of the evening and may not have time to make many more moves. If I do, it will likely only be a few.

  1. … d5

See? I’m already off to a bad start–not because I made a stupid move, but because I quickly looked at what you wrote and misread and moved the d pawn instead of the e pawn on my phone. I assure you I would never make such a stupid move in reality. If you want, we can carry on from here, but if you are willing, I would have rather matched your opening with e5.

I’ll try to be more careful in the future.

1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nf6

When you two had indicated you were ready, I was going to flip a coin to decide who got white, but since started anyway, I will allow the game to continue.

yes, this is supposed to be championship play, after all, lets keep the do overs to a minimum.

Sorry for breaking protocol. I figured after this we could play a second game with him as white. Then I’d humbly suggest that he retains his title if he wins either of the two games.

right now, it is one game for the title. But rematch maybe scheduled if desired. If the game ends a draw, Darth Ender retains the title and a rematch is automatically required and you will have to swap colors.

Warb may still be OP but I don’t like that his sigh has been nerfed.

Only because I started playing SWGOH, but I see what you did there!

SWGOH? what is that?

A pay to win mobile game with a theme.

WYSHS

But it’s also not a board game, as is chess.

How much do I have to pay to win?

Can you define winning anyway?

There’s no way to win.

It’s free to have fun, pay to get more stuff faster.

For some reason, this thread loads, but then the little “loading” icon keeps spinning for another minute or so, before it finally stops. It only seems to be on this thread. I wonder if it has anything to do with the special characters in the thread title? It’s not a serious issue, just mildly annoying.

I don’t know. Like I said, I have had no problem loading this thread. I don’t know why the special characters would slow anything down.
