Reggie is back. "Ajeeb is Waiting." Reggie was online today. Seems he has decided to switch to the name of yet another Chess automaton. Fun fact: YOU ONLY GET ONE GAME A DAY. RECORD YOUR MOVES.
Code:
Nf3
d7-d5
d2-d4
e7-e5
c2-c4
Nc6
c4-c5
c8-f5
b1-c3
g8-f6
c1-f4
e5xf4
Note that I stopped recording in standard notation after a bit. I DID get the knights down..

I forced a check on him to see what happens. Seems if he cant play the move he wants he resigns then.
1. g1-f3 d7-d5
2. d2-d4 e7-e5
3. c2-c4 e5-e4
4. c4-c5 e4-e3
5. b1-c3 e3xf2+
Thanks to MosServ for putting it into standard.
1. Nf3 d5
2. d4 e5
3. c4 e4
4. c5 e3
5. Nc3 xf2+

Reggie is off at the moment, but when he comes back on...
Let Reggie make as many moves as possible. Do not block his pawns. Do not capture any of his pieces. Move a knight back and forth and just record what he does until the game ends for whatever reason.

Jamesi's game was correct. The puzzle is solved. The login/password was defect/tcefed.
The URL we have been given is http://www.nru.us/physics/espoo/
So..SOLVED.

Boringly - I was actually IN Finland just three months later than that conference. If we get a trip back through the game maybe I can go meet myself. Ok no. And I'm afraid everyone but Ivar looks like people I'm about to see at my **th high school reunion. Sigh.

Looking at the Poster the first time I thought the first one in the topics list said
Body Shifting..... and I could use having a few areas on mine shifted.....
BTW: Way to go Jamesi, MK and all the gang that was searching high and low for the correct match!

If you open Espoo.jppeg and use the negative option I think you see the picture as it orginally should be.
I cant really make the background out but it does look like Mos thought, that it was a surface with stange patterns. Picture is attacked if anyone wants to look.

Geist, with the exception of the info box in the lower left corner, I think your Negative is actually the correct way the poster "should" look, the original jpg, the background is too light to make out many details...

In the source code of the poster almost the first word I see is DUCKY.... strange no? (Can't make anything else out mind you....lol, and not that it means anything, I just thought it was a strange word to see in association with chem/physics)

I assume that "Cem" didn't mean "source code", because a picture file doesn't have "code" per se. What was probably meant was that the picture was opened in a text editor and the data was viewed in a raw format...
