Dan, Your board looks correct, assuming that Tox's official move is c3xc2. Now that he's back, he should decide if that's what he wants to do. Really, it...

Yes, that was my official move. And yes, Mark can get out of check by taking my king (of course, only if I'm the one who put him in check)....

Dan, Have you considered g3-f2? If Tox can maneuver a pawn for promotion, so can you. You're safe at f2, and that position might allow you to throw a wrench...

Mark, Good point. I'd disregarded advancing the pawn because as it is now it covers one of Jack's king's movements and because between Tox's queen-to-be and...

Good question, good question. I'm inclined to say "not", and instead pull the bishop back to hit Tox's new queen. In combination with my own new queen, that...
