Make Luft NOT War

 The following position was reached against one FranticGopher in a blitz game at the internet chess club. Canadian Frantic Gopher is aptly named as his play is indeed and frenetic bordering on actually being sound. The chess player with the hummingbird metabolism has been spotted in Minnesota USA I think as well. 

You can not help but like the guy who wins via quality or pre-moving in the opening not caring whether he drops pieces just to rattle his opponents!  He is losing in all his bullet games, but still wins the majority of them. Admirably he is a staunch opponent of the knuckleheads who expect takebacks in Blitz chess. Some of those malcontents actually will let their time expire, rather than resign, if you do not grant the takeback!!  Pathetic existences they live.

In the diagrammed position Frantic Gopher is also losing AND WENT ON TO LOSE as White played the appropriate make Luft (German for air) move h3.  The weaker g3 allows the desperate varmint a possible perpetual check on the light squares! 

You must admit burrowing rodents of the family Geomyidae are quite cute.

Inventive Approach in this Chess Game

 An ICC blitz player named ReInventor, playing Black in the below diagrammed position, had to love the inventive nature of this Naked hanging piece sacrifice. His greed for pawns weakened his f7,e6, and b7 White Squares. Also his Horse at b8 blocks the Rook at a8.

Applying Laskerian logic to the three anemic squares, the NAKED piece sac Ng5 presents itself as a winning move! The Knight move attracts the Black Queen to the g5 square which also creates devastating back rank mate threats after the White Lady ingests the b7 pawn.

Read the work of medical researchers V. Kalidasan, Narcisse Joseph, Suresh Kumar, Rukman Awang Hamat, and Vasantha Kumari Neela to learn more about iron deficiency as it relates to our Royal game. I learned all about Iron homeostasis from these medical students or interns or maybe even Doctors. In any invent the move Knight to King's Knight 5 jacked Black's efforts at homeostasis.

The game Dexter Dale Jr. vs. Ryan Folgarty had some themes similar to this game.
