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

[Weezard]

All right, it looks like I'll do okay initiating an exchange by attacking your K5 pawn with either of my knights. Since the K kn 5 knight controls fewer squares and is less able to defend my king (than my QB3 knight), I'll start with him. If this plan carries through I'll lose both knights but win a pawn, a bishop, and a rook.

That only works if black gets greedy and chases down the trade, yah?

B X QRP

A pawn for a pawn.
Looks even, but white profited.
Blacks pawn had time invested and was an immenent threat.
Black's QRP was passive, but critical to white's pawn promotion in end game.

Fortunately, white's position is now very well balanced.

Unfortunately white must now move something without upsetting that balance.

Aloha,
