chess gambit, boo on Comcast and banks
- May. 3rd, 2008 at 5:31 PM

It's hard to tell in this photo but white sacrificed a queen then cagily checkmated black using a bishop and two knights, just as the mid-game was beginning. Slick!

And were you white, or black?
I was neither side. I was running through some examples in the book, "How Not To Play Chess," by Eugene Znosko-Borovsky. There are some really interesting games in there.
I had a friend who used to open all his junk mail, find any of those prepaid bulk return mail envelopes and he'd mail the junk from one company's package to the other company's.
Comcast does send a lot...but Duck Walk is my enemy. I get a new duck walk menu under my door once a week. I will exact my revenge on duck walk one day.
Applauds.
