The Ancient Med - not year 1

What year is the Ancient Mediterranean set? Definitely not year 1AD, by then the Med was a Roman Lake. Carthage was destroyed in 146BC, Egypt fell to Rome in 47BC, Greece had been Roman for centuries. Only Persia can claim some independence on that map.

Um, no! White won in that posting, so I think it was you who went down, semck. ;)

semck83 (229 )

Oh, awkward. Man, I go to look for a game starting with e4 where you go down, and I can't even get that right? You truly pwned me and you only played e4. Well played.

My experience is that people who go around looking for games of chess are usually pretty good. And I happen not to be. Therefore, I am about to publicly humiliate myself. With that said, since I have already publicly humiliated myself, here goes (at least until somebody better comes along to challenge you).

Why isn't dubmdell actually finishing his moves?
Also, I +1'd you guys.

dubmdell (556 )
11 Aug 12 UTC

I'm playing white, achillies. So the ... is to indicate that a black move is required to complete the line. At the end of the game, I am going to input my final move followed by 1-0 to indicate that no further black move is required!

achillies27 (100 )
11 Aug 12 UTC

But the "e4" isn't a move as far as I know.... E4-e5 is, then again, I haven't payed enough attention to chess lately.

achillies27 (100 )
11 Aug 12 UTC

Ah never mind, I get it.

Draws

Sifting through 10 pages of open positions, I am noticing that it's increasingly uncommon that people actually draw for a CD. In a few games, people have pushed for it, and others have seemed to have no understanding as to why they'd draw for a CD. Did this etiquette just disappear like magic? Pre-1903 CDs should *always* constitute a draw and post-1903 CDs should constitute a draw if they result in a loss of a line that would otherwise be present. When did this stop?
