Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

[DreadedHermie]

Black's dead walkin', but rather than gracefully resign I'd like to jockey these rooks around to get the feel of working with them. It's a powerful piece but I never get it developed enough to use much.

K - K2

Something must be amiss in my late-night calculations. :stoned::stoned: I rejected several scenarios that didn't come out any worse than this... :wtf:

I'd be just as happy playing one of your alternates, if you wish.
Whatever reveals the soul of chess is worth doing.
As a general rule though,;
"When there are equal numbers of attackers and defenders, the first to pounce usually suffers a loss."

Oh, OK.
Works for me.
But first, lets make your bishop go stand inna corner.
R - QKn6
Sort of a free-anchetto.

Or, defend it with the rook and tie up both pieces

[DreadedHermie]

No, I'm OK playing this. I don't think the other scenarios were any better, just no worse. I think I realized I was cooked when you captured my most recent pawn.

Thanks, that'll be useful.
R - QB8 --check.

Kn - KKn1 un-check

Yer king's on KN1.

I'll put you at KB1. :thumbsup:

B - QB1

B - QB1

Good one!:thumbsup:
If we were playing for $$$, I'd swap rooks and snack on pawns.
But it's much more fun to draw lines of force with bishop AND rooks.
Indirect attacks are the most fun
Rooks can T-bone bishops
Bishops can stab rooks from the corners..

So,
P - KR4.

Sounds like "puppy drift"
Thanks.
