I, Taylor, shall choose Black.
... It's my favourite color ^_^
Hah.  Mine too!   :)

Alice Chess is about pieces teleporting from one board to another and vice versa.

I suggest you'd read this, as it contains the rules of the game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_chess

It'd be a bit silly of us to start a game without knowing the rules, wouldn't it?   :D   

A quick hint on early checkmates: One tricky thing about Alice chess is that getting out of check works rather differently.  If I put you in check on Board A, you can't block the check with pieces on Board A, because whichever piece you use will be transported to Board B after it moves.  For this reason, it's easy to mate early if your opponent moves the queen's pawn and you check the king diagonally with a bishop.

Anyhow.  1. e4/A.
