Informal game at Gulu with Little Rhody

We welcomed our newest candidate member, Little Rhody, with this informal game played at Gulu Gulu.  Once again, the Gabridoodle proved that, as one book title has it, "black is okay."

Little Rhody - Gabridoodle, 0-1

Being a n00b, Little Rhody began with some rather unusual queenside pawn pushes.  The Gabridoodle sarcastically remarked that if it worked, he'd note it with TN for theoretical novelty.  Despite this vicious commentary, the game proceeded amid a friendly enough atmosphere.  When Little Rhody attempted to move a bishop from b1 to b2, there was much merriment.  At move 24, she coined the abbreviaton SPS for Shameless Pawn Snatching (ironically, she was the one grabbing the pawn).  At move 31, she announced that she knew what the Gabridoodle was going to do.  When he made an ominous bishop move (green arrow in the illustration), she had to admit that this wasn't what she expected.  The end came soon after, as shown in the other illustration.  The Gabridoodle delivered a brief post-game lecture on pins, forks, skewers, and -- though it wasn't relevant to this game -- Alekhine's Gun.
