    In fact I doubt anyone would be able to solve it without this clue:
    It uses a key (a deducible text or characters for which each number corresponds to)

    Perhaps you could give us the Key or a clue to what the Key is?

    For those curious: I used a key and cipher method; (key,cipher). The first one (key) shifts the alphabet by that many letters and the second one (cipher) tells you what digit in the key you need to use. For a much harder code the key would not be given making it very difficult to solve!

    I thought it was just adding the two numbers together...I guess both ways basically mean the same thing though...

  • #1 is this-is-my-code

    #2 I tried (potential hints here) keeping only the prime numbers and ended up with a strange string of letters.

    #3and 4 - no clue.

    #5 is i don't know why I'm typing like this

  • You don't really need an opening :p I just started placing pieces where the coordinates led to, I can't make anything out of if though. I'm just wondering how in the world the black King got out of check from whites Queen in line 26 by the move e4 lol.

    Also b7 on line 30 is not a valid move for black as his pawn would have started on that square and zugzwang says you have to move a piece on your turn you can't not move a piece.

    I garuntee this is chess notation though.
