G*3iii check

I get it now.  Don't forget that your bishop has promoted to a Tokin, as I'm wondering if that fact affected your decision.  But if that is still your plan, Kx3ii

Gosh, thanks for doing that again.  And once again I was unable to take advantage of it because I was just overwhelmed.  I only just got home, and I even skipped my lunch break.  I only had time to write that single comment today.  I'm working in the area that's supposed to be slower, too, but it just isn't lately.  I've got some hard patients.

Anyway, what amounts to probably my most stressful day at this job is finally over.  Bg4

Just click and hold your king, drag him over two spaces queen side, and the game will automatically move the rook I believe.  I should have set up a diagram so I could play this with you while at work.

Not sure what you mean.  Sx2iv+L

I'm going to be at work all day.  In case I do get the chance to make a move, I'm going to make a diagram.

G=R

Hopefully I can keep playing based on this.

Today is also Candlemas, at least for the next 43 minutes here in AZ.

Alright, I do have one last move for the evening, and I'm really going to bed.  S*2iv

Have a good night, my surprisingly young friend. :)

I gotta take care of my sick wife.  I'll have to finish tomorrow.  Sorry.

Well, that just happens to be another stupid typo, and I meant 4iii.  So I'm sure you would prefer to make a different move.

Oh silly me.  K-4i

That's what I get for doing a lot of cleaning between moves I guess.  Not paying enough attention.

Your move is legal, but I'm confused, as I don't think you are delivering check.

G*2iv mate.  Maybe you should try something else.  If I remember correctly, with this game, and in such cramped quarters, you have to drop almost right away.

No problem.  Kx3ii

I think it definitely would be better to capture, because now I will have to capture your Gold, not just to be brutal, but for my own safety!

Gx2iii+R

I know there's a better thread for this, but I'm not going to bother looking for it.  I haven't seen CP3S for ages.  I hope he's okay.

No problem.  I was obviously very busy yesterday.  We all have real lives beyond this site :) S-2ii

Since there have been several recent conversations that I did not respond to, I will link to a large post I made a while back.  I'm too lazy to fix the typos I noticed in it right now.

What you now have at your fingertips is my reason for being a rational, scientific, skeptical adult and a deeply believing, faithful Christian.  You should feel honored.  You see, I have felt that the atheistic crowd here has been a bit harsh on the believers, often saying that everything strengthens their belief in no God, making sometimes ridiculous arguments that state that one cannot logically be a Christian, etc.  Well, with surprise at the passion the nonbelievers hold, I tell you that I respect your beliefs and your reasons for not believing, but I encourage you to bear in mind that simply because some of us accept some things on faith does not make us imbeciles or mean we have not thought of the many same counterpoints that you use (i.e. why would God save this one man who was being stupide when other good people are allowed to die?).  Obviously these are thoughts that have crossed the minds of believers since everyone thought the world was flat and the sun was a small light passing over our plane.  We understand and get it.

I honestly grow a little tired of when non-religious people talk down at believers.  I consider myself intelligent and well educated.  But perhaps (assuming you've already read the link I provided), you can see where my intelligence may be strongest is in my ability to simultaneously hold seemingly contradictory ideas in my mind and accept them.  I understand that things may not always mesh, but my mind is quite capable of holding both as true to the best of my understanding and the understanding of humanity in general.  You will never know enough to be able to disprove God.  But whether you like it or not, you will never be able to prove that electrons exist, or that UFOs are not real, or anything else.  We still rely on theories developed from current understanding, understanding which has often undergone tremendous changes even in recent years.  How can anyone here show me that there will not be another such tremendous change that will further alter our understanding?  Right now we don't see how it all fits.  No human in this lifetime will.  If you don't believe in God but instead believe in an ultimate fiery death to this universe, I guarantee you that humanity will still not have come to the point of understanding all there is to it by then.  But I do believe that I can one day know it all, and that there is room for science and religion to coexist, even if you can't accept the complementarity of both.

I don't think Padme or the blockade truly qualify as a MacGuffin, according to the true definition, as shown in this recently bumped thread.
