So Dad, while Mum's away, you need me to hold the camera.
Are you going to get me something nice for helping?

While I'm not being shaken down by an opportunitistic son, I like to watch brendio assemble his lego Sydney opera house.
Brendio and his lovely, expectant wife are fellow Aussies, although the distance between us would cover 3 or 4 countries in Europe.
A few years ago, there was a grass/scrub fire, between brendio and I.
It burnt through an area the size of Alabama, and nobody went out to fight it, since it wasn't inconveniencing anyone.

Brendio is ranked 743 on steemwhales.com and has been with us since the 23rd of July.
Thanks for playing, brendio, and good luck with the lego set, and parenthood.

I recently recruited a good friend and colleague. He has a personable, friendly nature, and the chiselled physique of a greek statue.
He's blogging on strength and wellness and absolutely knows his content.
I'll be recruiting and mentoring one meatspace friend each month, and promoting them at the end of each post.
December is Joe, give him a look

black: e4e3 check and white will drop the rook or if king moves d3 to attack knight, defend knight by moving king to e7, freeing black queen as well.

It would not make sense to defend knight after white king attacks it. You just take the rook anyway and build on the advantage.
If white king choose to take knight, he will be forced into a mate as the only way for him to survive a check from queen (after moving the king from the D line) would be go into black's territory. And that is a mate in couple of moves. So your move is the best possible for now, which will finish up white's chances.
As for white, he will prob just move his king back to his territory.

Thanks for the plug. I need to finish writing parts 3 and 4 of the build so you can see how it turned out! I was working from my phone and ran into issues with eSteem uploading images. I am back home now and have access to my computer, but need to find the time now in the hectic lead up to Christmas to complete the write up.

Thanks mate. Are you referring to this post specifically, or the idea in general?
I'm having a lot of fun, and the black team get all my steem if they beat me :)

Also, @mattclarke, such a cool game you have over here! I am sad that I only saw it now, when you are already nailed to the coffin lol. If you will play another one, I will be here from the beginning.

Nailed into the coffin? I'm just getting warmed up. Join in, by all means. Mr original intent was to, in the event of a black victory, award all the steem to the most upvoted player; recently, our top 3 have all agreed that it should be divided up proportional to upvotes.
So even if you can't hit the top of the board, you still stand to gain from aiding black.

Yeah, I think I will join. And yeah, you are pretty much done in this one. This waeming up phase took a little too long, my friend lol.
Seriously, I am super happy to see this kind of things here. When do you post the move for the next day?
