Sorry I'm not recognizing your notations. You're using the old style
Are you moving the Knight side pawn to b4?

 

[IanC]

sorry, a combination of the two. it should read Bc4. old notation is B-B4. I'll get the hang of it

4.Bb4 Fxb4

 

[IanC]

hahaha. F?

we both suck at this. wouldnt it be Bxb4 if something was there? or f8b4?

but there is nothing there. the move was 3.Bc4

sorry for the confusion

F would be King side Bishop capturing pawn at b4
Fxb4

ok let's start over because you did say b4 was your move.

Here this might help with the notations of the moves

[IanC]

actually I said Bb4 which is an impossible move. B is the symbol for bishop. F is not the symbol for any thing.

ok-

1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 a3
3.Bc4

your move

your move

I'm using Algebraic notations which is what we should be using.

To fix this let's start over.

 

[IanC]

algebraic, yes. thats what Im using. I made a mistake by calling the c file b, which was an impossible move. if I had moved the pawn it would have been marked down as b4. you made a mistake by calling your bishop F. we're even in mistakes. lets move on.

1.e4

or if you like you can have white
