Flip a coin works for me if you want to flip. I'll call Heads and if I win, I'll take W.  

Luckydad flips a half dollar coin at Random.org...

RTV wins the coin toss! RTV chooses White. RTV to move...

    I will periodically post diagrams of the board to make sure we are in agreement and make this more interesting visually. But not yet.

    The longer it is, the more epic it is.

    I think this is where we are at if you want to take this time to confirm?

    I've heard you like to watch.

    Right now we're moving from the opening game into the middle stages. We both still have an equal amount of material on the board and fairly even tactical positions. For a football analogy, it's tied 3-3 in the middle of the first quarter.

    Interesting turn. Knights vs Bishops. This is interesting for me because I feel I am much stronger with the Knight than the Bishop.

  • We have a discrepancy. 

    In move 10, I moved the pawn to c3 so he should be up one.

    And you can't move your pawn to c4- so I assume you meant c5 and just counted wrong because of the flip of the board.

    If that is what you meant to do, and your pawn is on c5 (not c4)..
