scribus: !chess problem time! You play White. Black just moved Ne7, opening up Bxe7+, presumably followed by ...Kc8. I suspect he wants at some point to get ...Bxb5, but then I have Nxb5 to follow. I'm tempted to pull Nd5, forking his knights, but for what in the end? I suck at midgame. And openings. And endgame. And #chess. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/865295
