I've never had the privilege of seeing an actual episode of it on TV, and I suppose now I never shall, but what I've seen of well done fan compilations online has made the Arya Stark/Sandor Clegane combination my favorite character dynamic. In a world of seemingly relentless violence and depravity, this anti-hero takes a shattered and pitiable young girl, and, over the course of several months of travel, cares for, and teaches and protects her, though he originally saw her only as a hostage to ransom. It's proved an unexpected hit even with many fans who were critical of the show as a whole.

Segment 2 of 2 of the A4 game above.
Again, I do NOT recommend such an opening; it violates probably every good general rule of the game. Fun to play sometimes, though, especially when you actually manage to win. Probably works because few people in their right mind would ever try this, so nobody knows how to defend against it ...

Complex position.

Don't really remember why I saved it except that it's a complex position.
Probably wanted to save it as a potential study aid ...
