At War

I'm waiting for white to move. This has been a hard fought battle though my opponent isn't out of the game yet. “Easy, you know, does it, son.”

    black is in good shape but there's still quite a lot of danger.

    Yes, there is, Charles. White is going to attempt—with great vengeance—to push a pawn across with his king's help.

    I've forgotten some of the moves, but can't the white pawn take the King?

    I mean the black queen.

    That's the black king, Oscar. No, the pawn can only attack (or put the king in check) diagonally.

    Man, it's been too long since I played at chess!

    Go to Red Hot Pawn, Oscar. Play some online chess. Lots of fun... and frustration.

    David, I'm sorry I missed this earlier. I'm trying to reenact this situation on my chessboard.
