Default Chess Game!

Yep, it's chess! These are the rules: This is exactly like chess, but a little more "forumgame-ified". The whole forum plays as white, and I play as black. After I did a turn, the forum users should post their personal answer. Every day or every time I visit the forums, I will count them together and the most chosen answer is the definitive turn. The board is made with ASCII art. The signs are as follows:

P= Pawn
T= Tower
H= Horse
B= Bishop
Q= Queen
K= King

Let's go! (White starts off)

I always like to put my knights in play early. How about B8 to C6, or G8 to F6 ?

Sorry, you may only do one choice every turn. Please choose one.

LOL. I know I only get one turn. I thought you wanted this to be a group effort. You're not using a computer behind the scenes are you?

B8 to C6

Playing knights as a first move is a pretty weak start.

pE2 E4. Classic opening.

I changed a rule. Instead of 'every 10 votes', I have substituted it with 'Every day or every time I visit the forums'. The move has been done =)

Great idea, but you against the whole forum? That's not fair - the forum doesn't stand a chance. There should be a way to play it one on one...

Anyway, I think you made the wrong move, Eagle said E2-E4 (but I guess he ment E7-E5, since we're playing black), so each player should have a pawn in front of the king moved for two spaces. Like this (and I don't know if this helps any, but _ are white spaces and . are black spaces).

No, you're wrong. The forum is white and I'm black.

I made a difference between white and black spaces now.
