I'll try playing a correspondence game with another chess beginner (I'm not too good, so I'd rather not play anyone with a good amount of skill). I don't really care whether I'm white or black, so you can choose.

I'm willing to play someone who isn't a beginner if that will speed things up a bit. And I'll just think about moves longer, so there's nothing wrong with that.

I'll play you if you want. I'm a complate beginner. You shouldn't have too much trouble dispatching me.

Alright, you can be white so you go first.

Ok, here we go. 1.e4

How long have you been playing for?

1. e4 d6

I've known how to play for a few years, though I just got into playing a few months ago.

2. Nf3

It's the same with me. I haven't really put much effort into it, because I was working too much, but I now have a little more time.

1. e4 d6 2. Nf3 Nf6

1. e4 d6 2. Nf3 Nf6

3. Nc3

What other interests do you have apart from Chess?

1. e4 d6 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6

I have some interest in computers and philosophy.

You?
