Thank you for the gift. Really nice of you. And thanks for the tricky question :)

Congrats! Yeah, I said it's not a puzzle (changed the description for all not familiar with the leading "!" term). ;) Was just trying to express my unproductiveness in other ways, so I set up my first giveaway as a rather easy puzzle. Hadn't seen something like this here before, weird combinations of letters/numbers are usually cryptographic code in the puzzles. ;)

pretty easy i guess. used to play a lot of chess back when i was younger so i recognized the characters

Actually that sentence is meant to be a cryptic hint, therefore the capitalization (Real Game Two Players). ;)
Nice picture, thanks!

Congrats on solving, too bad you had the games already! At least you can play them now anyway. ;)

Yes, the puzzle creators are good at training us to think about such encodings when we see cryptic strings! That was what I was kind of playing with. ;)

For everyone recognizing the e4e5 it's pretty easy. Though according to the puzzle stats many people aren't familiar with this term which means good odds here so far.

Nice, another entrant. And it's even your first post and entry? Wow, welcome to steamgifts! :)

Congrats! Hopefully not spent a sleepless night thinking about that code. ;) But that's the easiest way to find the answer, to google just some part of the string (4+, even when just dismissing the last Q you will still get one hit through google to instantly solve it...).

Well done! Sorry you've got the games already. You should give them a try someday, they are quite some fun for a couple of hours. ;)

Nice, another one solved it. Congratulations and you're welcome! But doesn't look like you entered the giveaway?

The question doesn't seem to be that easy as only 11 of 60 made their way here by now, so well done!
