I should have just backed down when I had the chance. Oh well.

I don't know if you're having trouble keeping track of piece moves, but I know I do.  If you place the cursor over my pieces, it gives the name and the move.  I have to do that all the time.  I still can't keep them straight without it.

Thanks, I do have to keep checking the moves. Not knowing the moves well makes it harder to plan ahead, but I'll get the hang of it soon.

Assuming your move is bedexf6, my move is (EDIT: I'm not getting impatient, I just thought I'd move the game along a bit more quickly since I'll be gone for a few hours once again. Your most likely move in each game seem obvious to me anyway, but still confirm them both, in case you chose to do something else for some reason.)...

No, you are fine.  I just feel silly that now I'm the one not paying attention to my pieces' abilities.  You are correct, that would have been my move.  My next is f3

Oh, my computer indicated the first one didn't go through, so I resent it later.  Oh well.
