Same here. And I see a win for Bill.

Re: Chess game - Euler (W) vs White (B)

Reality check

white pawns - h3; g3; f2; c4; b3
white knight - e4
white king - f3

black pawns - h7; g6; e5; d5; c6; a5
black king - e7

That is what I have to.

And I see a win for Bill.

You need to get your eyes checked.

Re: Chess game - Euler (W) vs White (B)

How the heck are you going to save your left side Bill? It seems Euler needs only take a couple lumps, and you're facing two queens....

Re: Chess game - Euler (W) vs White (B)

Yeah tongue

My 'out' was incorrect, though I believe I saw another one several moves later. You should've hightailed that pawn on e5 as soon as he moved his king up...

I still have the pawn on f2, and that should stop the e-pawn from going anywhere.

Re: Chess game - Euler (W) vs White (B)

I meant d5, sorry; you would've had an opportunity to lock it in with your knight, but that would've given him an opportunity to move pieces.

edit: heck, d5 pawn has had a relatively clear path ever since the queen shootout...
