So far 1. h4 is the only proposed move by the community. If no debate emerges soon, 1. h4 will become the communities move by default and I shall respond. Hopefully as the game proceeds more people will join the fun.

As explained above, I will wait 24-48 hours to respond. It may be difficult to obtain community consensus to support 1.h4 but I may be proved wrong. So far you have made the only vote!

There's no shame in chess if you opt to concede now. Simply tip over your King and we'll start anew unless, that is, you opt to play on. It's your call.

My identity will remain secret for now but I am a professional chess player, ranked amongst the best in the world:

I am here to play a game of chess against the bitcointalk community.
Chess consumes my public life, but in private I have been fascinated with bitcoin for several years. I have plans to come out of my cryptocurrency closet when the time is right.
You all can work together. Let community consensus determine which move you make. You may play the white pieces and move first. After you have reached consensus I will make my move at a frequency of roughly 24-48 hours (depending on my schedule). Please do not attempt to use timing as a basis for determining my identity. I may write a basic script to log in and post my move (or have a trusted friend do so for me) while I am asleep or am known to be at a public event. I registered this account with an email address which I have never used and will never log on from an IP address that can be connected to me. When the time is right I will reveal more.
To make things easier for the community, I suggest all your moves are discussed in algebraic notation
