				We have five people, so we'll all be running at least one piece and one pawn.&nbsp; We can either do four groups of 3 and one group of 4 (simple division, some people might run two pieces, one pawn, some might run two pawns, one piece), or three groups of 4 (two pieces and accompanying pawns) and two groups of 2 (one piece and accompanying pawn)

				My mind, at the moment, is not wrapping around math as well as I'd like, but...<br><br>I think 4 groups of 3 and one group of 4 sounds alright. <br><br>5 into 16...<br><br>So....<br><br>King - Rook - Pawn - Pawn<br>Queen - Pawn - Pawn<br>Rook - Pawn - Pawn<br>Bishop - Knight - Pawn<br>Knight - Bishop - Pawn<br><br><br>If you go by point value... Rooks are the highest non-Queen, non-King piece. Further, aside from make decisions on ultimate moves, the King has little functionality and must be moved with its preservation in mind.. So perhaps couple the Rooks with sets of Pawns and give one the King's reins as well?<br><br>Queen gets two pawns because it's the most versatile piece, and the left overs both get a pawn a piece.. as well as a knight and bishop? Or Two bishops and a pawn, or Two knights and a pawn.....<br><br><br><br>Just a thought. The best way I think to go about this is to see if anyone else -wants- a specific piece, or doesn't. I, for one, believe in sacrificing bishops because I'm a knight player. I don't think I'd do very well being one. =p <br><br>As far as King goes... do we have any volunteers to be the final arbiter? Or do we want to take turns controlling one piece? Then we can split it into even groups of three and have the Queen be up for grabs as to whoever wants it at the time? (Just tossing ideas out)

				White has started out with a fairly standard move (e2-e4).&nbsp; In terms of chess strategy, it would be good to move out another center pawn (there are a couple of openings that start with a bishop-pawn, but I remember them being less effective).&nbsp; <br><br><br>Since we're down to four, I'm going to suggest we each take two pieces and their corresponding pawns.&nbsp; Crystal likes Knights, so is there any objection to giving her both Knights and the Knight Pawns?

				Oh damn, I didn't realize we were down to 4. <br><br>I'm fine with both knights or a knight and any other, or no knights. I'm not too terribly picky, they're just my strong point.<br><br>As far as the first move, this corner of our four person democracy suggests perhaps E7 to E5 if we're going for a central pawn. Match their moves and all that.<br><br>I do recall opeing with pawns in front of bishops being not necessarily the wisest of things.

				One possible move for us now is B8 to C6. Which makes the knight protect the pawn we put out there while threatening the white one. However, if the white pawn takes the black the white queen has an open lane and the only thing we would gain is the white pawn...<br><br>The other move that comes to mind most readily when I lookit the board is D7 to D6, which also protects the black pawn. it does not threaten the white, but then if they take our pawn that's already up there we can take theirs and -both- our queens have open lanes, which might lead to an early queen trade.<br><br><br>There's lots of other moves available, but those two come to mind first to me.

				...Nc6 is one of the more common responses to this position, and gives Black a bit more advantage, since we are not only protecting the pawn but also threatening the White pawn (or whatever he might move there in response to us taking the pawn with ours.)

				F7 to F6? Just throwing ideas out, but that's one that I think could work, or D7 to D6... an "if you take ours, we'll have yours!!" move, really. But I think your knight move would work also. I'm easy really :P

				No matter where that knight goes it's dying.<br><br>That said.. <br><br>D4 -&gt; B3 is bad because they can take it with their rook pawn and open the lane for the rook.<br>D4 -&gt; C2, E2, F3, or F5 we lose the knight and gain nothing.<br>D4 -&gt; E6 or C6 we lose the knight and capture the pawn.<br><br>Alternatively, we can move the bishop from F8 to B4 and they will take that piece instead because taking the knight would put them in check. <br><br>So those are the options I see as far as the knight goes.

				What about Bishop to C5?&nbsp; Threatens to take the pawn if it takes the knight, thus putting the Bishop in the center.&nbsp; (I thought I'd found a good site for researching openings, but after 3-4 moves in, it wants you to pay.&nbsp; :P)
