Can you post another pic? Looks interesting, but I'm too lazy to play it through.

I would, but the website with the applet, I made the last screenshot from, is down right now. Since I don't own a chess program, I can't post a pic now, unless somebody provides me with another opportunity.

Sorry for not responding yesterday, I tried, but was so helluva tired, that I twice slept in over the board. Nothing but eight hours of sleep could fix that. I have a question. With what tool do you make your diagram pictures?

No problem - I've been playing with servers upgrades etc. all day and had no access to a board or winboard. I'll play tomorrow morning my time, or tonight when I get home.

I use Winboard for the boards, and then snagit to capture the screen, then I crop to the board edge in Photoshop and run an automated script that reduces it to half size and converts it to a .gif Whole thing takes about two minutes.

Thanks for the hint. I had forgotten about WinBoard, somehow the diagrams looked familiar though. I downloaded it now. The board size is an option, btw, you don't even have to scale it down.

Despite your huge advantage in space (obvious why 7 ... e5 isn't in the books, lol), it's starting to look fairly drawish to me. I just can't see a way for you to break in without a lot of risk, and I certainly can't see a way for me to break out without a lot of risk and maybe some slack play on your part, which isn't likely.
