I hate to keep doing this, but none of your bishops can capture on e4

please see my next post

It's okay.  I'm at work, but I can't believe my careless mistakes in annotation, though I don't think I'm screwing up positions at all.  To make things clear, I meant to capture your knight with my bishop.  From memory, I think I meant e5.  If that's correct, go ahead and make your move.

You can't capture my Knight on e5 with either of your Bishops.    You could do so with your Queen, but I'd urge you to look carefully at the board before doing so.   You have 1 Bishop on d2 and the other is on f1.   

nevermind the above. I am very sorry.  the mistake was all mine.  You were correct the first time.   You could capture my knight on e4 with your Bishop.  Somehow, when you moved your bishop to d3, I moved your other Bishop to d2 by mistake.  Again I am sorry.   I really have to stop making these kinds of mistakes.

anyway assuming your move was Bxe4:

I'm taking the liberty of typing your moves in a program that will give everybody else a visual element to this game. I for one have very little experience in the game, I just know how to move the pieces, and have no idea what these alphanumeric strings mean.

 I googled and found a site explaining these alphanumeric strings: http://sites.rapidus.net/blanchdo/en/lesson_6_intro.htm

In fact, there is a lot of interresting stuff on that site... it might even help you understand the current game as there is lessons on tactics also!

here we go again.  According to my chess board, you only have 1 bishop and it is on c1.  It can not capture on c6.   Perhaps you meant Qxc6?

See that is my stupid error.  I did mean Qxc6.  See, I make the algebraic errors, you make the positional errors, and together we make a crazy, incompetent looking pair!  Sorry, Warb. :(

Warbler, I saw you posting elsewhere after I made my last move.  You must remember that I am your highest priority! ;)
