[1] "Cal, do you already not know what you're doing?"

[2] Conor wins Rock-Paper-Scissors, then concedes to drink the queen anyway.

       Eric: "Can you taste the whiskey?"
       Conor: "I can taste the cottage cheese..."

Whereupon Conor chugs, winning great respect from onlookers.

       Eric: "Now that you're done, Conor, tell me: how'd I do?"
       Conor: *Flips him the bird*

And Conor retires from play.

       And from consciousness soon after.--ConorMcNassar

[3] Cal: "We're losing this pawn. You can't stop us from losing this pawn."

[4] Dan finally finishes his bishop (see move 18)

Note: Tomorrow, I'll try to write an analysis of the game--both why I did what I did and where I went wrong.--DanCicio Other than playing the game in the first place, I presume.--EvilSouthie

Shouldn't White's move 11 be bxc3? Because otherwise the queen can't be on the b file for move 13, Qxb6. Also, Black's move 32 should be Nd3. Beside my nitpicking, thank you for putting the game up on Wiki.--ElizabethReynolds

You are indeed correct. I have adjusted the move listings accordingly.

I'm confused as to how 5 ...Bf5 moves to 13...Bd5, personally. Play seems to indicate that the bishop in those places at those times . . . Or am I just confused somehow? No, you seem to be correct... I must have written something down wrong. If I had to guess I'd say its supposed to be 5 ...Be6, but I'm not certain. Anyone else remember? *I remember. It was 5 ...Be6.--DanCicio

So if you knew the b-pawn was spiked, why not go for the Orangutan (1. b4)?

• I almost did. Really. I just couldn't justify not playing the English, since it's the opening I know the best, by far.--DanCicio
