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

[DreadedHermie]

You have me plugged at every orifice....

Mother's doing a second martian thread. Tryina find ya. DH.

Sorry I'm lame at the computer but I don't know how to send a message to Weezard specifically, so I'm posting it here assuming he'll read my thread (yeah, I know, ass-u-me...)

Kn X P

Weez, the only pawn in reach is protected by my rook. You're not intending to sacrifice your knight, are you?

Here's the board after my last move:

Oh! You said K knp.

Well, in that case.
KRP - KR4

Same as if I had moved to KR3 because you can en passant capture it.
The difference is, an en passant, if declined, expires. and leaves your rooks pawn blocked.
The continueing pressure of a pawn stand off would have let you advance your Krook pawn and protect your Kknp.
Can't allow that.

I might start making sense again soon, I'm almost out of that last overwhelming "I can feel it in the back of my forehead" harvest. I've been a Newt.

Okay, I'll accept your en passant offer. This'll help me "understand by doing." :i feel stupid:

P-KR3.

Check.

Understood. I do a continual harvest so I've got bushy plants, fresh from veg, catching stray photons around the budding ladies. Once the plants mature it's a little harder to paint 'em with light efficiently. I just jarred up the last 2 plants that had been under HPS for just awhile at the beginning. For intents and porpoises, they're all led grown. Glad you guys figgered out about the trichs not getting amber as a gauge of maturity. This stuff is wicked. I'm getting a few brand-new shiny trichs and fluffy white pistils right up to the end, too. (Under the HPS the plants ran their life cycle and threw in the towel.) These'd probably be easy to reveg, if you're into reanimation.

Everything in the bloomery now is 100% diode-reared. What was I talking about??? (Still :stoned:from last night...)

[Weezard]

And there,
is a classic use of th en passant rule
K X P!

'cause that's what kings do in an end game.

Now, the king can support the bottom of white's pawn chain while it strips black of it's last remaining hope.
All black's pawns are doomed.

Black's rook is impotent and overworked.
(This all started around move 4 or 5 in the opening).


Might be a good time to bail and start a new annotated game.
You take white and move first, it's a major advantage.

White's first move sets the tone of the whole game.


W.

Or, you may have a plan.


I awaited
With breath abated.
a thundering demise.
Then Hermie rallied,
his forces sallied,
forth into the fray.

A rash ambition, which by attrition,
brings us to this day.
Where there is very little use,
continuing to play.

...that my minions will be well treated in surrender.

As commander, my fate is sealed. An honorable death in glorious battle assures my place in the afterlife. Let all my wounds be in front!

But so that my faithful serfs, dweebs, and mooks (actually, this will teach me not to hire mercenaries from the Labor Pool) may return to their respective motherlands in safety (ignominious though it may be) I shall lay down my sword.

Now I must assemble a new army. Woops! There goes a bishop!
