I must be really tired, searching for a best move for White :( After some redicilus moves such as 1.Ne4 Rc1+ 2.Kg2 Nxd6 I just figured out that this just leads to a mate in four for black and nothing for white to gain in anyway. Now that woke me up :? the answer to your puzzle is: 1... Rc1+ 2.Qd1 Rx...

En passant rule as requested
A long, long time ago, chess pawns could only move one square at a time. To speed up the game, they invented the double move for the pawn as its optional first move. Of coarse, some people started complaining that all of a sudden, those pawn couldn't be secured by their own advancing pawns. To avoid...

As for the piece sets, that doesn't work yet. You can only chance it at the board, without saving it. For Forest Green if you know an example, I might look up what the colors are in hexcode.

Clarke, there is a much simpler way to do things sometimes. In this case, you could ask Greg to remove Ramesis floor. This way, Ramesis has to avoid timing out or drop to something like 800 or lower. It's less time consuming, and it gets the message right where you want it. And most important, its a...

Maybe you know the phrase "Tanstaafl". Some times, you might encounter drop outs, just forget those and go for the games which are worth paying attention to.
