Maybe I got this wrong. I put your rook on my Q2. (I have your king on your Q2.)

Dang bubble. :stoned:
This game, is a work of art.

I wrote a long explaination last night, but da forum got hinky and ate it.
On the third try, I guess I kept it too short to be understood.

That there, is my KR.
Jus' put it back where it was, Q7, and move my QR from QR1 to KN1

(A few posts back, I warned ya 'bout dis one. "Either road, My next move is QR - KB1")

I'm tryin' to protect my only pawn on a black square at KN5.

Figured you might attack it and give check in the bargain.
That would make me put my king where I'd like him to be anyway, but I no wanna give up dat pawn.


(That's what I meant by the "free ride" hint.)
Jus' a li'l side-step in da plan, man.


I'm presently using da KR to cripple both your rooks and harrass your king.
Jus leave da KR on my Q7 while I mug your bishop wit' my QR.

Are you seeing the poetry of the game now?:jointsmile:
I was trying to show how to BEST use a Queen.

Most books advise holding her in reserve and then un-leasing her power on a sparsely populated board.
You brought her out early, so, rather than take her and leave a partial lesson. I neutralized her for many moves with a knight threat.

Your queen was seriously under-employed by having her strength squandered on a static threat.

(During that time she had time invested for her development but had less power than a bishop.)

Then I traded my queen, for your gasoline.

Then used that gained tempo to avenge my queen and hammer your king. :thumbsup:

It is a risky business.

If you lose momentum in da middle of a coup,
it does not go well for you. - W.:asskick:

Hint;
Grab the lead from white, and run with it.
You can still win this game if you manage that.:hippy:


Darn good bubble, I'd say!:stoned:
Pharmaceuticaly, we were on da same page last night, and da post crosses got confusin'.:jointsmile:


Dang! I like the quick play though.
(Train of thought and all for several moves)
When ya really retire, I'll shoot ya a VPN port into my home net for a real time game.

Mahalo nui ya "wood pusher"
