How embarrassing. I can't even remember when my turn is. Yeah, scratch the knight move.

My bishop is currently on 12st and I have another in hand. I'll see if I can find the move that got the former where it is.

EDIT: I see you've found it. Never mind (how long will it take before we make that one word?--I always spell it without a space the first time).

 As indeed you should: 'it' has only two letters...

If you were correcting my move, the asterisk (*double-checks word*) would be in the right spot, but since you aren't, it should be wear the hyphen is (and the hyphen should be nowhere).

Lx14mn

I assume that "wear the hyphen is" is a spelling joke, right?

If I weren't such an honest person, I would say yes, but unfortunately it's the result of sleep deprivation and carelessness, as was me replacing that knight move (I bet you tricked me into to doing that on purpose, you sneak). Now I'm really going to be watching my posts closely for mustakes....

You mean I should use the astericks like, say:

*mistakes or *Sx14mn ?

My move:

^Or mustakes like *Px7vw, witch from yore perspecktive is a sidewaze capchure.  The only too sells avaleble to that pawn are 9vw or 8wx. ;)

Gotta get some shut eye (just got back from work), and today is my twin sons' birthday, so I'm not sure how available I'll be.

I think I'm going to be needing those astericks for that other reason again...****** and *****. Oh, and wish your kids a happy birthday from "some strange guy on the internet" for me.

Don't worry about it.  We all make mistakes.  Perhaps now would be a good time for one of us to put up a quick schematic of the board so we all know we are on the same page and can resolve any potential discrepancies.  Ric, I don't know if you've got the time for that or not, but you're usually better at not missing stuff than I. :)

And I'll pass on the message.  Thank you :)

I'll see if I can get a screenshot tomorrow, if my dad doesn't beat me to it.

I'm not sure how to get a screen grab of the whole board since the cells don't get any smaller when I zoom out in Excel, making everything misaligned. I'll just represent the board the way I've done in the past--with hyphens and letters (unless someone posts the screenshot for me).

I think I can get a pic uploaded.  I'll do so shortly.

Was your rook already promoted? If so, you can make that move, but I don't remember that being the case.  I thought it was a regular rook, in which case it retreats along a diagonal instead of an orthogonal.

 Never mind...somehow I mixed up 9tu and 8wx. :P

Well orthogonal then. If asked to change again, consider my move its own reply...

Print screen grabs a screenshot of your screen at that moment.  You then just open something like Paint and simply paste it, then save it as a jpeg or something that a picture sharing site will accept.  I am having trouble with my account and don't have lots of time to address it, otherwise I would have already posted a screengrab.
