The idea is simple enough. Posts will consist of two parts: (1) playing a game/making a "move" in a game, and (2) making another "move" (or whatever would be appropriate) in a different game, which will determine what game the following poster will play/move on. You kinda have to be able to figure out what game the previous poster was intending to play, and presumably we won't always guess correctly what that was, but hey, that's all part of the game! Got it?
So, like, I'll start it (obviously enough, I suppose) and let's say I just assume that the zeroth poster posted a null byte, or something I dunno, so I say, "One". Most likely I'm playing some sort of counting game. Then I'll separate the two parts of my post by some dashes, and then I choose which game the next poster plays, and I do so by playing it: So, I say "1. d4", and then the next poster continues on in that fashion. Still got it?
Alright, ready? We're playing for real, now. We're doing it live! Here goes...
