I'm still in shock that the first goal of this thread was reached, to be honest.
The title goal is a bonus, and, at this rate, may become a fun legacy game:
"Your old man frequented this old Usernet-type forum he discovered in college ... Used it a lot during the 2020 pandemic ... Goal of one thread in particular was to get 2 million views ... Turned into a fun charity fundraising game after awhile ...
Huh. It still works! And the goal is 10 million now with a chance for scholarships for really good submissions ... It really took off after Bill Gates got behind it ..."
-----
Anyway, another Latvian Gambit excursion ...
Beat higher ranked opponent by encouraging and weathering a Kingside firestorm, carefully transitioning via Queenside castling, and kept him off balance enough via checks and coordinated assaults and King-walking afterwards that he resigned, seeing I would checkmate him in one move afterward.

Fighter's History, Karnov's Revenge, but with a weird soundtrack I MIGHT like to hear the full version of ...
( I would LOVE to hear the "Hurry up" music for Mizoguchi's stage, assuming there is any ...)

Wild and undisciplined game that saw me gain and lose a 2nd queen, and NEEDING to do so, before securing a pawn checkmate win. Opponent did a LOT of king-walking before this was over ...

Think I've actually managed to "train" several of the regulars on that chess site now. Used to catch someone with a 6 move Englund-Soller Gambit every week. Now? Haven't done so in several months ...
I've increased the chess-playing knowledge of the world ... at least on blitz chess dotcom ...

The numbers on a roulette wheel add up to 666, regardless of which version you play.

This is just an interesting bit of trivia. One of the nicknames for the game is “the Devil’s wheel”. There are 2 reasons for that.

The other is that players who lose are often confounded and assume that such a game MUST have been invented by the devil.

The number 666 is from the Bible, the Book of Revelations. It’s the “Number of the Beast”. Some superstitious types fear this number, and it’s common enough that there’s actually a name for this phobia–hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

The dealer at a roulette table is called a “croupier”.

I like this. It gives roulette a certain panache that other casino games lack.

After all, the dealer at the blackjack table is just called “the dealer”. The same phrase is used for the dealer at Caribbean Stud and other casino card games.

Craps dealers don’t really deal anything, but they run the game. They have cool names, too, but nothing as cool as “croupier”. They have names like “boxman” and “stickman”, but honestly, how elegant do either of those job titles sound?

There’s also a 1998 crime film named Croupier. Clive Owen portrays the eponymous character. It’s a neo-noir and a gambling movie, so if you’re into either of those genres, it’s worth checking out.
