Blitzing Is Boring

This weekend, I played six games of Chess. As you can probly surmise from the title, I blitzed my way through half of them. The other half, I'll actually blog about :P

 

Game 1: Mangai (Me) V. Uncle Potato (not his real name)

 

I open with a knight and my queen deploying, whereas he sends out his bishop and knight. Dancing around his counterpart, the knight blazes a path straight into P.'s left flank, overrunning all enemy forces there. Uncle P. simply smiles as he sends his queen plowing into my knight-

 

-And then realizes, to his dismay, that his queen is his king (Did I mention this chess set was a Star Wars version? :P ). My knight, Han Solo, finally comes to a rest sacrificing himself to kill the bishop, but by this time, the damage has made its mark on P.'s forces. Now attacking with my queen and other offensive pieces, I cut a swath through the rest of his forces, and, trading a few offensive pieces for his last quality forces, force a checkmate.

 

G2: Mangai V. Potato

 

I open with a similar offense, bishop and queen now attacking, but he is normally better than me at the game, and it shows as my offense crumbles and falls. Though I do not lose the queen along with most of my other offensive pieces, it's game over for me when he corners the king in between Darth Vader and a hard place.

 

G3: Mangai V. AWESOMEDADISAWESOME

 

Another blitz-like opener with my first powerful offensive moves, Obi-Wan (the queen) and a trusty Leia (bishop) zinging across the board. Hacking holes into Dad's battle line, my forces charge in an all-out offensive. Unfortunately for me dad, he is tired and makes many mistakes, letting me gain the intitiative. Using forking moves and trading my pieces in Total War against Dad, he finally crumbles, and Darth Sidious falls to Obi-Wan, Luke, and Han Solo.

ahh, chess. Great game, but I play it like I RP.

 

It's called blundering my way through without much thought.

 

I mean, I have checkmated people without realizing it. And whenever I lose my queen, it's because I forget she's in danger. :P

I remember when I owned my bro, because he was so tired that he moved almost half his big pieces too where i could slice them to pieces. :P

:tohu: Obi-Wan is the queen, and Leia is bishop? Twisted, Mangs, twisted... :tohu:

What company made that board? :P

 

Man, I haven't played chess in a while... ah, the nostalgia. :lol:

Well, I suppose that they were doing it based on power level. I mean, on one side, we have this girl who goes: "SAVEMELUKE1111!", and on the other, we have a dude who slices things in half on a regular basis :P

 

It's not as though Leia wasn't a good shot with a blaster and all, it's just that she can't compare to Obi-Wan.

 

But you know what's really derm?

 

YODA. EES. KEENG.

 

Mangai no likey :P

 

C'mon, though, I understand why they did it, but Yoda can fight! Just watch him V. Sidious, and all misgivings about that little green dude will be dispelled :P

Same with me. I never can see traps coming, which is why I try to prevent them before they happen with a relentless offensive.

 

Yeah, me too. I had no idea, several times, that I had checkmated people.

 

I do that, too, but I'm trying to get out of that habit.

 

That's exactly what happened. He sent in some pieces to put pressure on me, but they came in at all the wrong spots, where they were easily killed by even lowly pawns.

The king should be Threepio. Eeeend of story.

 

Yeah, I guess power levels would be it, but STILL, it's degrading to someone whos known SW longer than his name...

Actually, Threepio and Artoo were a Rook :P

 

BTW, if anyone wants, I can post the each group of pieces with who they are and what piece they play as.
