Black To Move

Thinklings Chess is awesome. I've got a killer game going right now with Isaiah543. I'm white, and Isaiah is black.

Here's our position:

chess

It's black to move, and the last move that was made was dxe6+.

By the way, I'm just posting this for fun. Since we're in the middle of a game, please don't offer any move suggestions. Thanks!

I know this is going to make me sound ancient (I'm not), but I really detest the new chess notation system. I grew up on the old system and it makes total sense to me. I can actually envision a game in my head through the old notation and make the moves mentally. I can't do that at all with the new system.

Bummer.

I never learned the old system, DLE. But I love the current system; I have no problems with it, and to me it looks easier than the old system at first glance.

Well, what happened? (I predict that white won via promotion of pawn)

6. Roy - 11/11/2007 5:45 pm CST

On second thought, make it black by same means.

So what actually happened?

7. Bird - 11/11/2007 5:46 pm CST

Draw. And I was happy to get it. ;-)
