I have just finished only my twelfth game as a new member of the Sneaky Knights Connection. What a game! The trapped (my king and lsb) became the trappers. This game is against a player called gabriel who had a seemingly strong attack as white. Thankfully my attritional defence held through and my opponent overreached himself. This game was almost as nailbiting as the one against yakky in "In Old Matey's Shadow Part 2". In this game I could feel Old Matey breating down my neck for a few moves and it was not very pleasant. But I kept him at bay and won my twelfth game, and I now have 7 points from my 12 games!
Hope you are having a nice weekend.
Bye for now.

He arranged for a series of interviews until Mr. Weinstein got an internship on a Goldman trading desk. Mr. Weinstein is not alone among Wall Streeters who have a chess ...

She had two bishops and a rook in the game. The lsb was pinned to the king for most of the game, but ultimately they were used to trap the rook that had been pinning it.
Good fortune.

Grand Slam Masters: Both Carlsen and Anand lose — After a sensational third round of the Grand Slam Masters chess tournament at Sao Paulo, World chess champion Viswanathan Anand and World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen of Norway languished at the bottom of the points table. Anand bowed to an in-form Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine while Carlsen called all the shots against bottom-ranked player Vallejo Pons of Spain before blundering a piece to leave the tournament in a state of shock before the first rest day. The football points system ensured that Ivanchuk, with seven points, had a good lead over the rest of the field. Levon Aronian of Armenia was in second position with five points, Hikaru Nakamura of US and Vallejo Pons were further down ...
