No, black always goes first.

[Booklover]

Ummm... what kind of chess do you play?

[shisteer of nothing much]

...is there more than one kind of chess?

[Jetthebinturong]

Probably. But in the chess you're playing, white always moves first.

Also you should probably set up a game on a website, rather than trying to keep track of moves.

Have you not heard of *takes a deep breath* suicide chess, exchange chess, card chess, yes/no chess, rifle chess, Irish chess, Greek chess (which is rubbish) and some others but I need to go so I won't list all of them.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Nope, I've only ever heard of chess and black always goes first.

[Jetthebinturong]

You learnt it wrong.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Probably. Does it really matter?

Probably. Does it really matter?

Not really, but those are the rules, so...

[Booklover]

When writing down, or when looking at openings, it is useful to have one standardised system.

[shisteer of nothing much]

*shrugs* True. *moves pawn forward one pace*

[Booklover]

Which pawn? (please see the Ask Sebias thing for instructions for chess notation)

*goes to look at Ask Sebias thread*

Y'all do know that there's a site called chess.com that you can sign up for free and play with friends, right? You don't have to do it in the thread?

I kind of gathered as much by reading all the previous posts on this thread. I'm not really sure I want to try it though because I'm not particularly great at chess. (to put it lightly)
