The 2,000,000th post game

Continuing with the a4 game from the previous page (if I did my counting correctly) ...

My opponent castles, attempting to acquire safety for HIMSELF as well.
But doing so leaves his knight and took in position to be diagonally "x-rayed" by my bishop, threatening free loss of said knight and capture of said rook right after.

He moves his rook to go right behind his knight, which would theoretically protect both ...

... except I want this trade. That knight is a troublesome defender that I want gone ...

... so I can take his bishop out. Yet though I truly, genuinely hate bishops, even that's not the real point. The real point is to force it so he has to avenge that bishop with the only pawn that can do the job, and thus effectively destroy his castle. I now have a straight line of attack on his king.

Well, ALMOST straight ...

There is still a line of 3 pawns holding the center.
It is no coincidence they are there; the a4 opening cedes the center almost as a matter of course. It is probably also not coincidence that 3 is the number of pawns I must take out to win this game , but I don't know enough about chess to know for sure if there's any relation.

There's still too much traffic on board to take the game just yet.
And in the meantime I've got a lioness prowling in my basement.
I let my other horse out of his stable to trap her there ...

Incredibly, my opponent seemed not to notice the danger his queen was in.
Had I used an opening that was sound, I'd probably let her escape. I didn't; my position is horrible; I take her out. Surprisingly, encouragingly, my opponent doesn't give up. I'm not minded to discourage him any more than necessary; I just need to get rid of that trio, and I'm NOT talking about his remaining rook, bishop, and knight. Those give him hope of an Arabian Mate or something of the like I'm sure, I don't want to take that away from him.
No, I only need to break that controlling center line of pawns, while he bravely tries to setup his remaining pieces ...

... and gently corral the only piece that needs capturing to win this game.

Scene from Justice League Action.
Artwork varies, quality varies, eveything else that can does, too.
I might make it my goal to learn to make Gifs in the near future; animation, not individual stills are what make the above scene impressive in the show.

Immediately above: An example of a still that communicates power.

It is easy to understand just how much stronger this rock climber's hands and fingers might be compared to the average woman's.

Alex Puccio probably represents the near top of what a fairly ordinary looking girl can naturally achieve with reasonable though intense training.
Doubtless she, like Michael Phelps, won somewhat of a genetic lottery in terms of physical attributes matching the sport she chose to pursue.

Above: 1st photo, subject unknown.
Sure is strong if she's doing what it looks like she's doing, though.
I remember only that she DOESN'T look all that impressive when not actively engaging in an activity like, that though. Quite ordinary, really.

The other photos feature Miranda Oldroyd, who is not but looks a LOT like Dana Linn Bailey, the "Dana" featured in the kyron advertising that event, "Women with Dana" or something of the like.

Got to say, the text of the above image reminds me of a politically incorrect short made by Andrew Klavan years ago ...
