Kriegspiel II thread for Dr T'Var - Malacandra keep out!

Hi,

Just wanted to put up a board of Black's moves for confirmation.

Also, any thoughts and plans you wish to share?

My thoughts at this point? <g> I still have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing with this Kriegspiel thing. My plan is to play a defensive game, stay back as long as I can and let my victim (sorry, I mean, my opponent) come to me.

Tried to research Kriegspiel online for tips/hints/strategies to use. Found next to nothing about it. SIGH

I'm no chess genius (as you've all seen), but would you maybe want to have more of a jagged-edge front line so that your pawns could protect each other?

Right now thinking of a solid line for pawns with pieces lined up behind them, then "jag" it up a little. Biggest question I have at the moment -- does my opponent assume I will move my king to safety or leave him in his original spot? For now, I think I'll leave him where he is -- hoping my opponent believes I will move him. We shall see....

Updated Black board - Move #14

Hope this matches up.

Looks good to me! Thanks for the update.

This is the board as of move 14 for black -- before I made my latest move....

Any comments on the game so far?

Having lots of fun with this. Still don't know what I'm doing, but giving it my best shot. Can't stay defensive forever. Need to start venturing into enemy territory sooner or later. <g>

Updated Black Board as of #30

I hope Dr T'Var is not getting too frustrated. :)

Yes, she is! :) Of course, we all know that Vulcans do not get frustrated -- or irritated -- right?

Would you like a new updated board and...any comment?

Updated boards are always welcome. :) Thanks.

Comments at this point -- strongly considering resigning from the game. I have a sinking feeling that my opponent has lost mere pawns while I am losing much-needed pieces in order to continue. SIGH And I believe I have one less capture than my opponent as well.

As T'Var would say, "There is no logic whatsoever to this form of chess -- and I find this fact disturbing."

Well, even a Vulcan can't win every chess game she plays....

Latest Black board.

Thanks for the update! :)

Very true, EH. Vulcans can't win all the time -- but they will certainly try! <g>

Hoping to promote a pawn or two if possible. If I can't, then I'm probably doomed. SIGH

Thanks for the board update! :)
