9 Oct 2012: in which lesbian queens do something unspeakable

The Pink Queen and the Gabridoodle decided to lock horns on-line at FICS.

Gabridoodle - Pink Queen, ½-½

The Pink Queen played well, avoiding any crazy blunders and generally refusing to fall into any of her opponent's traps.  The Gabridoodle was playing a stolid, decidedly non-brilliant game but also avoided any blundering.  The Pink Queen missed a chance to do an en passant capture (the Gabridoodle explained that the Chess Pirate refuses to believe in the rule and that this can be exploited when playing her). Eventually, as seen at left, things were all locked up and a tense confrontation well and truly underway.  Incidentally, the Gabridoodle did soon move his king to f1, an absolutely essential defensive play.

After a little more thrust and parry, the Gabridoodle blasted open the kingside wall, eventually promoting not one, but two pawns ("I demand lesbian queens !," he cried). Even before getting the second pawn to Fran's Place, the Gabridoodle had the game in the bag; the second queen was just for showing off.  However, pride went before the fall: his lesbian queens made a monumentally epic fail, delivering stalemate, as shown at left.
