BLACK MOVES SECOND

Please establish initial position of your pieces then post your first move. there will be one move per day by each player and a response by the referee for each move.

1...Nf6

[Rimrock]

I think it is safe to play my second move, since I play it no matter what White's second move is:

2...g6

[Rimrock]

Since the ref did not announce that the knight on f6 is being attacked, that means White did not play 2 e5. Since White did not move the attacked pawn I can only assume she protected it with most likely either 2. Nc3 or 2. d3

Therefore I will now change my second move to:

2...e5

[Rimrock]

3...Nc6

[Rimrock]

I was confident I knew the position until now. Since I do not know White's last move I must play it safe.

4...Be7

[Rimrock]

Still not much new info, athough the bishop moves Bb5 and Bc4 are ruled out. Is White making pawn moves?

Still playing it safe until I know the position better:

5...0-0

[Rimrock]

6...d6

[Rimrock]

7...Be6

[Rimrock]

I an guessing there is a knight on d5 and a bishop on b5.

8...Nxd5 ???

"Knight jumps queen!
Bishop jumps queen!
Pawns jump queen!"

[Rimrock]

Wait a minute, there is a white pawn at d5? If so, then it must have been at d4 at some point, in which case my pawn at e5 would have been attacked. This was never announced as far as I can tell. Now I am going to lose a piece for 2 pawns.

I assumed it was the white knight that went to d5.

9...Bxd5
