Sure, given the opportunity, I'd spin the board around in a heartbeat, but there's life in the old dog yet.
My beautiful wife's having a blast on holiday. Does that dolphin look a little stoned to you?
Dave's not here, man.
Today the spotlight lands on @armen
Armen joined steemit the day after brendio, on the 24th of July and a couple of weeks before I did, on the 6th of August.
Focusing on weed and poker, armen has proven a formidable opponent with a quick eye.
I'm not sure if we have an option to play poker in some way here, (if not now, I'm sure there will be soon), but I'd love to face armen down over a few stacks of chips.
Quick note, I'm delighted to see all the new faces, but need to revisit... I can only accept the first instance of a suggested move.
I'm looking forward to adding more colours to that pie chart, but it'll have to wait until at least tomorrow.
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
d6->e7, matt will need nimble moves to avoid checkmate after this, I don't see any way out for him.

No way out. I would think Matt would just knock his own King and go out like Samurai.

He can check our king with his knight,our pawn having the knight will cover our queen from his king having our knight.
E6 to E5 will easily check his king with our next move or if he will take our knight.

E6 to E5 to check his king later.

B7 to H1. Let's take the rook and sacrifice our knight. It is a trap though - If he takes a knight, he will be mated in like few moves.

the rook is pinned in and out-of-play, let's press for checkmate, and pick up rook later if we can't close a checkmate

Either way is good, but we will not be able to push for a checkmate yet. After this move, he will just retreat to D2 with his King and will hide on the first rank. I would take a pinned rook, to secure our piece advantage and have a trap set for matt on the same time.

he can't retreat: d2 is covered by our pawn, and our knight covers adjacent squares

Silly me. But in order to check him, we will still have to move a knight and open up c2 and e2 for him. However, we can still try. Let's see what others think :)

He can only move his knight to help his king.

If he takes our knight after this he is in checkmate in three moves.

I was unsure of how moves are counted in chess. Do you count each player's move individually or just one colour's moves? I was seeing two black moves and one white move.
