KVR Audio

Time for a new KVR musical game: Chess Melody!!

1) Anyone can make a move - please ensure that it makes some sort of chess sense relevant to the game though

2) The moves made will relate to the keys played for the melody. Eg Qc5 (queen to chess square c5) will produce the musical note 'C5'.

3) Thus, a tune will be produced at the end of the game (and maybe badly recreated by myself as an ambient piece - and anyone else who wants a go).

4) Some chess technicalities:
a) simple moves eg: Qc5 = note 'C5' ; Ra6 (Rook to a6) = 'A6' etc
b) taking pieces eg: RxBc2 (Rook x Bishop on square c2) = 'C2' etc.
c) castling: kingside Kg1 / Kg8 = 'G1' / 'G8'; queenside Kc1 / Kc8 = 'C1' / 'C8'
d) promoting pieces eg Pawn a8 (pawn promoted to Queen) = 'A8'

Cheers

I'm confused already.

Sorry mate - please play a chess move (for black, move 1, in this current situation).

at the end of the game, the moves of the pieces to the chess squares eg c4, a6 b7 etc will have produced a melody, which can then be used by anyone musically etc.

people can play as black or white (or both!) - just join in with the next move, as you like.

Essentially, it's a game of chess that will make a melody - please ask any further questions anyone.

Thanks

I'm board of chess... (a KVR melody game!)
