 TA: How about that chess game, Mr. Malloy?

 CG: I would be happy to.

 CG: I have my end open online. Let's begin.

 TA: Ready when you are 3=:]

 CG: Pawn to A3

 TA: ((They proceed to have a chess-off))

 CG: Good game.

 CG: Throwing in your knight just to stir up the bunch.

 TA: Was hoping the distraction would pay off. 3=:P

 TA: Chess is as much a mind game as a game.

 CG: Well my fault was mixing up the king and queen piece icons on this game.

 TA: It helps to have things labeled clearly, yes... 3=:|

 CG: I can't really figure out why they made the king look like a queen and queen look like a king.

 TA: It's one of those silly human errors.

 CG: Right ... Human.

 CG: But what about you? All your moves had other ways out as well.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: Yes, but each one had a trap behind it.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: Or at the very least, a diversion.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: Which I picked up on and figured.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: Again, my fault was mixing up the pieces...but I imagine you hoped I would as well.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: I didn't choose that tileset for nothing. 3=;]

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: Meaning it was on purpose.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: It was a shot in the dark, to be clear.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: I was hoping you wouldn't pick it up.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: well a good pay off. My only options left were moving pawn to C5 and your bishop stop it or castle with H1 and D1 into F 1 and G 1

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: Knowing my options were limited, I opted to resign.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: It was graceful, no sense in wasting time.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: When the outcome is clear, best to end it.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: Though like I said...sometimes there's more going on to the game than on the board...

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: There is always more going on, Eddy 3=;]

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: ...Why are you interested in me?

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: Why Eddy, that would simply be telling!

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: I suppose more games in the future will have to do.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> CG: ...Whether on the board or in other mediums.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> TA: They most certainly will. 3=:] Until then, Ed.
