The 2,000,000th post game

No not so rivert

Somewhat interesting game ...

If I find a site or program that customizably displays moves, I might post some of the ones in this log in the near future:

One of the cooler, more instructive mates I found on chess tempo dot com:

Alina Popa, also shown above just a bit earlier.

Sadly, nearly every high profile woman I've seen in the fitness industry in the past few decades seems to eventually opt for the knife, even the most naturally beautiful of them. Yet, cheeringly, there are signs a new generation is getting inspired by women such as these and are taking routes that deliver nearly all the strengths of people like Alina with few, if any of the traditional pitfalls.

1. Melissa Benoist

2. 2 players who gave me a good challenge recently

3. The Face of Evil

Another illustration of the power of the pin.

To appreciate this problem, you must understand that a player CANNOT make a move that would expose their king to a direct attack (check).

It's possible to be SO outgunned in Chess that the rules won't allow your opponent to win! The position above is stalemate, not checkmate, and counts as a draw.

Recorded by some guy visiting Canada.
Saved because the lady joking with him seems really cool.

Oh! To be sure, to the best of my knowledge, the Canadian lady chatting with that guy in the airport is NOT the same lady kicking the heavy bag or with the Wall Street Market statue.
Judging from the way she fills her jacket, however, that Canadian lady IS quite fit in her own right.
