Just a brief note

08.15.2004

To say that my apartment's starting to look awesome. Mustard yellow's a great color for a living room. And thanks to John Wagner for helping me get 15 cinder blocks & 5 8' oak boards for my bookshelf. I still plan to crush him, of course, at trivia at Shakespeare's Pub.

I'll get back to destroying Bill Brieger in this chess match. He should know better than to lead w/ knights against me.


UPDATES
-----
6:57— OK. Apparently Bill knew what he was doing w/ those knights. Zoot alors!

7:01— Now we're playing w/o our queens, but I'm also down a rook.

7:03— Quick moves, Bill further exposes my king but loses a knight.

7:04— Bill squirms, trying to prevent my king taking his cornered knight.

7:10— Bill loses his second knight.

7:13— Bill's in the back room, ignoring me.

7:16— I'm gaining ground; Bill's bringing more pieces to bear.

7:17— White bishop checks Bill's king.

7:19— I lose a knight, Bill loses a bishop, checks me w/ a rook.

7:22— Bill's attacking my rear, I'm taking my king head on against his defenses.

7:23— Bill loses his last bishop, then his temper.

7:25— My pieces start encircling Bill's king. The Strokes play in the background.

7:27— Ah! White rook on the 7th rank.

7:29— Bill's making the most of his two rooks. Danger, danger!

7:30— So much for that threat. Now I turn up the heat.

7:31— But those two black rooks behind my ranks ...

7:32— Ah! But my white rook on the 7th rank ...

7:34— Bill forces me to lose the knight pinning his king.

7:35— And I force Bill to lose a rook. But he keeps his king on the 8th rank! Huh?

7:37— Next move should be checkmate.

7:38— A desperate check on my king buys time, works.

7:40— This is just ridiculous. Wasting time, killing off black pawns.

7:41— No more black pawns, king cornered.

7:42— I lose the beautiful checkmate, but kill Bill's last piece.

7:43— King alone, it's only a matter of time.

7:45— I've a new queen, Bill's washing dishes.

7:47— Refusing to make his final, forced move before checkmate.

Never do a play by play when you play me. (That was a lot of "play" in one sentence) You don't want to have the record of defeat posted ... ! LOL
