I will admit, it's a tempting offer, especially considering that he'd have to reset his Knight to seal the deal, but yeah I think my Alice has a few moves left in her. Love this game state, though, Blackhound's just pushing his whole board forward one rank at a time.Don't offer the trade when you're down a rook and two pawns, Blackhound... You nearly had her!
Still, I don't think he'll go for it.

Too bad, really, was looking forward to a good game of stack-'em-up.

See what I don't get, and hopefully Blackhound can provide us some insight here, is why he spent a turn getting that pawn out, then ran the Bishop up to put you in the early check and just have the bishops stare at each other until you got frustrated at having it clogging your board, but like, I dunno, thought better of it and retreated the next turn?

There used to be a thread on chess.com named Chess Queens that was essentially the Open Site Blathering of that site. It was in the "Values" section of the site, which they retired in 2008 or so (and much drama was had), so unfortunately I can't link to it, but basically it was decided that, unlike other pieces, there was no real way to determine if a Queen was worth 9 points*, so the thread quickly devolved into a spam thread with the notable exception that the posters there were, well, posting on a chess bulletin board so they had already admitted they had no lives and therefore the thread was an epic testament to all things nerdery, especially considering that in its hay-day the site got over 3,000 unique posters. The thing I remember most is the ongoing "is it okay to hit on your opponent" debate, followed closely by the Pro-Fischer/Anti-Fischer debates and the Kasparov-Humanitarian discussion, and of
course the "is it okay to pee your pants if it wins you the game" conversation, but in reality it just gave me a reason to appreciate spam on levels most of you whippersnappers will never know.
*-The thing about trading a queen for 9 points worth of other pieces is that, of course, it also involves using moves to do so.
