Anyone want to play a game of chess with me, at a slow pace?

I fancy a game, but over the course of days and weeks than hours. Anyone want to play?

I won't be home for until this time to tomorrow which is when I'd like to start. I'm no chess pro, armature would probably be an overestimation :D

Ideally I'd like;

Keep all the moves in this thread (I'll do up chessboard pics)
No pressure to make moves, one a day perhaps?
Someone who is equally keen but not pro ;)

Who's up for it?

Some preliminary info:

We'll be using this board for notation marks

Moves to be made in the format [chess piece][row number][column letter] to [destination row number][destination column letter]

Observation of the rules will be done by the masses. I used random.org's coin flipper, heads for the person listed first to be white and go first and tails to be black.

Games:

d_brennen vs Lysander

Lysander white, myself black

Lightnix vs DirtyJester

Lightnix white, DirtyJester black

Just play the MS Chess Titans in Windows, it doesn't let you win as it always seems to draw for some reason when it loses :p
 
i went to a fancy meal event and gary kasparov was like the guest speaker and celebrity there, sadly it was a chequered tablecloth and it took him 35 minutes to pass me the salt
 
I'd like to take Lysander up but by all means we could arrange several concurrent games for everyone who wants to play
 
:D Righto we have the following contests:

d_brennen vs Lysander
Lightnix vs DirtyJester

How we going to decide who goes first (white?)
 
I'll do up some boards in the OP for all the players, we just need to keep all the moves to recognisable terms :) I don't even know what that will be like tbh, but I'm sure it's easily done

Prawn to king 5 sound ok? :D

No snobbery please, we'll get by

Easiest way will likely be number the board. All the rows being letters and the columns being numbers (or vice versa). Something like this -
