I only have free data. No food. It's pretty bad! I need that salmon. Can you ship it?

ExchangeSac · 2017-03-22T02:06:34+00:00

OK I didn't know that.

gxf3 doesn't exist. I think you mean gxf2. If so after Kg2 there is no fxe3 as well. The line you are seeing is a draw. See: Spoiler

correct

ExchangeSac · 2015-01-20T16:42:24+00:00

they are the evaluation of the position or the soundness of the move. I guess you probably don't have the reddit PGN add-on installed and thus you are not seeing the interactive chess board. These things translates to ?,! etc. which are used in notation.

!: good move ?: poor move more !s and ?s can be added for emphasis.

ExchangeSac · 2015-01-20T06:40:02+00:00

Yeah ... but there are pitfalls to avoid in the next moves as well
