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.”

Charles Gramlich said...: black is in good shape but there's still quite a lot of danger.; January 28, 2015 at 8:53 AM
David Cranmer said...: Yes, there is, Charles. White is going to attempt—with great vengeance—to push a pawn across with his king's help.; January 28, 2015 at 10:40 AM
Oscar Case said...: I've forgotten some of the moves, but can't the white pawn take the King?; January 28, 2015 at 2:09 PM
Oscar Case said...: I mean the black queen.; January 28, 2015 at 2:10 PM
David Cranmer said...: That's the black king, Oscar. No, the pawn can only attack (or put the king in check) diagonally.; January 28, 2015 at 4:15 PM
Oscar Case said...: Man, it's been too long since I played at chess!; January 29, 2015 at 5:50 PM
Unknown said...: Go to Red Hot Pawn, Oscar. Play some online chess. Lots of fun... and frustration.; January 29, 2015 at 6:45 PM
Prashant C. Trikannad said...: David, I'm sorry I missed this earlier. I'm trying to reenact this situation on my chessboard.; February 1, 2015 at 5:52 AM
David Cranmer said...: Prashant, hopefully it ends as well for you.; February 1, 2015 at 6:52 AM
