Why do you people do not want to go for the yugular?

Re: CCC Forum vs BigLion chess960
I'd like to go for the jugular in a more controlled manner by castling queenside first. Our previous move was a slight hindrance to that, but I think we can still achieve it, so I'm voting for 5.Be2.tano-urayoan wrote:h4

h4 would be ok except it opens up to soon. I like h3 better
after a couple moves maybe.

I'm not in favour of h4 in any hurry, but still fancy queenside castling. Kingside castling looks too dull.gerold wrote:May be to late to go Q side Graham.

However, it looks like kingside castling is preferred by most, so I'll have to go with the flow.

O-O is the forum's vote
EDIT: and here I make my first mistake as operator, instead of the castle I got a straight king move
Interrupting the game and setting up the correct position manually regards
That blows my intention of playing a "proper" game with BigLion pondering. Now I just use infinite analysis on each position and make moves manually

Re: CCC Forum vs BigLion chess960
OK, I used the "Enter Moves" men function and got to the previous position, then switched to "Play Against Computer" and made the castle, and now the game is back to normal I think, BigLion immediately sprung into action
