I woke up this morning thinking of DotA. I'm trying to master Broodmother now, and I'm wondering, Do I really need a Sange and Yasha if I plan to build the Butterfly?
Then I got hold of the newspaper, and saw the the Filipinos are now in 14th place in the Turin Chess Olympiad, after trouncing the Icelanders 3.5-0.5 (
best game in that round, although the last move, 22. Qe5# is not there.) At the same time, the Filipinas beat the Finnish women, 2.5-0.5. Whee! Go Philippines! Show those ex-Soviet republics what true chess is!
(EDIT: I just found out as I got online that they lost to China 0.5-3.5.
)
So, now I'm motivated to come up with plans to help us avenge my daughter's death.
We have two options: go for the middle game quick kill, or take the safe endgame win. I'll explain both in detail.
The first option involves expert tactical playing, actively hunting werewolves and the like. The problem is that it's gifted-intensive; once we start losing the gifteds we'll be caught looking the wrong way and we're bound to lose the endgame.
The second plan involves exchanging major pieces (lynching possible threats). Par example,
morm,
Sauce, and
Fea. The problem with this plan is that we lose time hunting werewolves, but at least, even when we lose the gifteds, we won't have to worry about these chappies (who are excellent at exuding an innocent feel) turning beastie on us.
So, here's my vote.
++The Saucepan Man
Because I'm not yet avenged.
