Our first (rogue) on-line game !

This wasn't an official Salem CHESS CLUB game, but rogue game though it was, it nevertheless merits mention here.

Pink Queen - Gabridoodle, 0-1
Time control: Fischer; 10 minutes plus 30 seconds per move

The Pink Queen and the Gabridoodle played their first game at the Free Internet Chess Server using the BabasChess interface.  It was wild and wooly -- no real surprise there.  The Pink Queen fought the good fight, but in the end, the Gabridoodle demonstrated that while a queen is worth 9, two rooks working together are worth (at least) 10.  The graphic depicts the game's polygamous end state.  The Gabridoodle had a mouse issue (having to do with holding the button while dragging) that resulted in what would have been a fatal blunder had the Pink Queen not been magnanimous and allowed a takeback.  Thus, he will grant her a free and unconditional takeback in an on-line or live game.  He's also tweaked his BabasChess settings so this won't happen in the future.
