Hey, moving a pawn was good enough for Jeff, maybe it'll work for me too. Secretly, I'm planning on attacking his knight at e5. I hope he doesn't notice & has to leave his knight at d3 hanging. |

Damn! If one of my pieces even thinks about attacking he gets killed. Jeff isn't even concerned about trading his knight for my lowly pawn. He has something up his sleeve--I just have no idea what it might be. |

May as well take the knight this time--things certainly didn't work out when I passed up my last opportunity to take one of his knights out of the picture. I still have the uneasy feeling that I'm going to regret this somehow. |

Not unexpected. I'll bet he's hoping that my king will go to his home square & let him get me with his forking knight. I'll show him |

Ow! I have no spiritual guidance left for my kingdom. I must forge ahead with purely a sectarian society. At least this won't be one of those religious wars, since neither of us will soon have any Religious leaders. I'm not a prophet--it's just a statement of fact once my rook exerts his will. |

There. That takes care of that. My position is ugly, but I'm only a pawn behind & I don't have the distraction of spiritual guidance. I'm feeling a little better. I still have no plan of attack, but I've gotten rid of most of the imminent threats to my royal family & I'm ready to regroup. |

The march of the pawns... What to do, what to do? |

Let's get this knight up here & see if he make something happen. |

Just to prove that he still can--Jeff castles. Rubbing salt in my structurally defenseless wounds. Exposed and planless, I must think of something. |

I think I'll attack the knight that started this decline in the first place. |

That was a short-lived plan. |

Well, moving my rook over here certainly looks like I'm up to something. I just hope Jeff doesn't realize that all I'm thinking is, "I want my mommy!" |

I think I'm temporarily out of semi-clever things to say. |

I'm getting used to having my land invaded by now. I'm thinking about putting out a welcome mat. I wonder if Jeff's queen is going to want to redecorate now that she's here? |

Nobody threatens one of my pawns & gets away with it! A woman has to protect her minions! |

I am really starting to hate that knight... |

My whole world is starting to revolve around this one pawn. If I lose it, I'll lose everything. Well, not really, but it seems that way at the moment. |

You can't distract me like that. That pawn's protected and you know it! |
