I definitely do not want to exchange pieces here, I want to draw out his pawns and weaken his pawn protection for the potential O-O |

In the rarest turn of events, things have actually gone as planned, and I've accomplished two things: though I still feel exposed on the g file like an undone fly on a brisk autumn day, I've drawn his pawns out enough to limit threat over there, especially from his white bishop. Also, a kingside castle on his part just seems a bit shakier now. |

Good. This is what I wanted. Now it's time to go to work and exploit. |

With a single glorious leap, my donkey glides through the air twenty or thirty feet above the white queen, his silky black mane shimmering in the sun, his uncoiled haunches stretched out majestically as he cuts knifelike through high-altitude wind; below, a confused queen witnesses but a shadow streak across the battlefield, quiet, black, and ninjalike. |

Having witnessed such a ridiculous display of power, the king panics and makes a premature run for it. |

Check! I love how check is always in yellow with an exclamation point. It's almost as damaging to the psyche as a conditional move. |

I'm totally willing to trade a (superpowered) donkey for a bishop here and flush that king out some more |

I want to make a little pawn canopy for his queen because I think that it would look pretty neat if he nestled his queen all up in the canopy. |

Starving for aciton, my queen has her eye on those pawns over by his king. She's gonna go get herself a piece. |

The pawn canopy is no longer totally sweet looking :( |

Rather than Qxh4, I can likely force his king to e2 and take out both pawns |

while not originally planned, I now see that I have the threat of Rxe3 which could be devastating |

he evens the score but neglects the business I'm about to take care of. |

My rook powerslides imposingly and no doubt startles my opponent. |

Flustered, tenfingers chooses instant death with Kd2. one wonders the outcome had he chosen kf1. |

I move to 5-7-1 against tenfingers and execute a flawless series of backflips. Clearly he did not play to his potential in this game and never fully recovered from 1..d5! but I take what I can get and will try to enjoy myself until the next challenge... |
