I hadn't made any move yet. Thanks for sending the setup. I wanted to see what your reply was to my suggestion that you take back your move, but since you went ahead with it, I hadn't even moved anything yet. Yes, I would have captured your bishop, and now that I see your reply, I can't bear to play anymore. You've crushed my windpipe and you are slowly watching me die. I'd rather perform what ancient samurai did when their battle was lost, and commit harakari.

I just can't go on fighting such a hopeless battle. And in reality, it is common etiquette to resign in a hopeless situation rather than drag out the fight.

Arg! But part of me knows you want to checkmate me. So perhaps I'll make it easier rather than more difficult.
