This is a open game of Chess where the top legal comment directly to the post decides the next move. The game also includes Knooks who stood in for Kingside bishops who went on vacation at the start of the game.

Like a Queen can move like a Bishop or a Rook, A Knook can move like a Knight or a Rook and it has the Algebraic notation symbol of O. On the board, it looks like they have a K tattoo.

  1. d4 d5
  2. Oe3 Og6
  3. Nf3 Nh6
  4. O-O c6
  5. Nc3 O-O
  6. h3 Bxh3
  7. Ne5

Arbiters Note: There was some confusion during the last move, however after consideration, a reply to a comment for Ne5 had more votes than any other commenter and was taken to be the will of the white team. If this is not the case, a move of "Retract move" will be put in for their eighth move so another move can be substituted for their 7th move.

Oxe5 (Knook captured Knight who just moved to et) Placeholder move. Note there was a typo in the title of this post saying it was open for 11 hours however the top post in 6 hours will be moved.

That wouldn't be legal. There's already a Knook on g6.

What? I didn’t see there are three of them. What is that?
