Correct! Fans of 'The Trip' may remember the scene where Steve Coogan gets trapped in a conversation with someone on the limestone pavement above Malham cove.

Cool. I had a funny feeling I was getting mixed up with a television producer, turns out that was Humphrey Barclay.
Humphrey Bogart was nominated for an Oscar three times, winning once. For which film did he win?

Yes, that's the first of the three.

is it first three white moves? or does it depend on what black does.
was never one for the theory, i just moved pieces as seemed like a good idea at the time.

It's the first three moves of the game, which would always involve 2 moves by White (though not at the same time, obviously) and one move by black.

You've got the second move, but the third is wrong. So, so far we have:
White moves Pawn to d4
Black moves Pawn to d5
But what does white do next? Don't forget, it has to be a gambit.
