Chess

Chess is an interesting game. Everyone is disposable but the King. He's just basically a pawn but he can move in any direction. You capture the King you win. Pawns can only go one way. They are very disposable but useful as sacrifices, and they have power in numbers. The Queen is very powerful, more powerful than the King, but she's disposable at a high price. Rooks are powerful but limited in their movements, they can only move in straight lines. Bishops are very sly, they move diagonally, but they have to stay to one color. The Knights are the tricky ones. They jump about all over the place. Yes, chess is an interesting game.

Yours sincerely,

Takes some of us a while for the muse to move us...In many cases I wish it moved even slower.

And don't forget! Immunize your coyotes!

That's no attitude to adopt at the beginning of a game, nausea.

A good chess defence is one where the player's entire squad is constantly together with every attack. This can only be done if the pieces are arranged in a way where coordination is possible.

OK.I'll bite. Who's black and who's white?

**Anna Key** · 29th May 2011 18:54

I'll be black. White opens.

What does this mean? Immmunize your coyotes. I'm sorry. I'm a bit naive. My post did have a serious message though. If you can read between the lines. Never mind, I'll go back to getting very drunk and enjoying life. Busy, busy, busy, if you know what I mean.
