RE: Chess game.
@Topmat Thanks for the game! Despite thwarting your efforts, I’d say your little sibling does show talent by making a legitimate move. In the mean time, I actually reproached myself a bit for going for the easy pawn grab instead of trying a sharper continuation that I had also seen.
But let’s have a rematch indeed. I’m offering you three options if that agrees with you:
(1) We start from scratch and you play black. or:
(2) We start from scratch and you play white. or:
(3) We repeat the start of the game we just finished but you deviate at any point you like.Have a pick, and good luck!

RE: Chess game.
@Topmat I don’t think it’s bad, though it’s probably a less common move. I’ll go for 5… Ne7 in response.

RE: Chess game.
@Topmat Yep, that’s definitely aiming for a sharp game. I’ll of course play the standard move 4… e6.

RE: The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet
@djensen I see… yes, that may be the case. However, I suppose it’s also possible that other users are having the same issue I had and which has now been solved by following Panther’s suggestion (see above). Especially if ‘Invisible’ has become the default after the conversion. On the old forums, my own setting was ‘visible’.

@Panther said in The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet:
@KaLeu Please perform a hard refresh (reload) with your browser the next time you set yourself to “online” and try again, then.
Thanks, that worked. After I did a Ctrl-F5, I could indeed set it and it now remains at ‘Online’, even after logging out and in. Problem solved!

@Panther Thanks. As for #1, I’ll just wait and see, it’s not a big thing.
As for #2: regardless of what I select, it stays at ‘Invisible’ and I still can’t see myself at https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/users?section=online
I can see a few others though, so there must be a difference somewhere. And I think that more people are having this issue because the number of people I see online is typically much smaller than with the old forums. -
RE: Chess game.
@Topmat To which I respond 2… d5, making it a Caro-Kann indeed.

RE: Chess game.
@Panther Thanks, that’s excellent. Who knows, maybe others will start other games there as well.

RE: Chess game.
Alright, let’s give it a shot! I won’t use engines, databases, chess books, or the advice of other players. But I can’t make any promises on posting frequency either. Life does tend to get in the way and my tendency towards procrastination doesn’t really help there.
But if that’s all fine with you, then here is:1 … c6
Good luck!

RE: The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet
Thanks again for all the work done on the forums!
I have two questions, rather minor issues really.
- My posts show my login name now instead of my full name, as it used to be on the old forums. I’m sure that this has been addressed before, but I can’t find it. Is it a setting I need to change somewhere?
- When viewing the online users, I don’t see myself. Is this also a setting?
Thanks in advance for letting me know!
