Christmas Day 2018 game.

Got a present of sorts here ...

1. England Soller Gambit. Not pictured; unable to preserve game log or images.
Queen sacrifice trap avoided by opponent. Forced him to make his King Bishop pawn a block and doubler of his King pawn, though.
Then opened the diagonal the light square bishop would have used to ace his rook.
Then used a Muzio gambit-like Rook-Queen configuration to stop him from castling, and took the rook that had fled the bishop.
Then used the Queen empowering Rook being attacked by his knight to take his light square bishop, threaten mate in 1, and got him to resign.

2.

Decision not to castle and to allow one of my knights to be taken by opponent's rook pawn (which was in turn taken by MY rook pawn) left a wide open file for queen to double with my rook for a guaranteed mate in either one or two moves.

3.

Opponent by this time betrayed concern over taking my pieces.
With good reason -- it had nearly directly lost him both previous games.
He refused to take either bishop OR rook with king knight pawn when I tried to kamikaze with both pieces, fearful of opening king to potential mating attack.

Nevertheless, a violent series of exchanges left the castle destroyed and the bishop as an immovable rook-empowered guard allowing inevitable queen promotion, so my opponent resigned for the third and final time.

Interesting commentary ...
Suggests it is actually capitalist U.S. that allows communist-style European Health Care systems to be of the high quality that they are, that the incentive for Researching and Development that yielded the medicine and tech were fostered and/or developed here, etcetera

Troubling Shapiro prediction which hopefully WON'T prove prophetic anytime soon:

Normally wouldn't post anything QUITE this racy, but the woman in these is Deidre Pagnanelli, and, believe it or not ...

... she's not only a mom of 4, she's 50 years old!

Too much respect for someone who keeps their body in THIS kind of shape not to post ...
