^Dope!

I know you talked about following up with another game where one of us kept the same army and another played with a different army, but I just bought a Chinese chess set.  Now I've played it many times electronically against the computer, and so far it's my least favorite of the Big Three (the most popular regional variants in the world are chess, Xiang Qi [Chinese chess], and shogi), but I wonder if I'd enjoy it more playing against you.  If you're interested, we can give it a go next.

Yikes. I know what I've been doing wrong, but I'm not sure how to fix it just yet.

Not a bad guess, that is for sure

But I saw that movie in my seventh year

Fond memories I have for that one as well

I've liked dinosaurs a long time, can't you tell?

Well if truly into my hands you now lay

The topic of our discussion today

Then perhaps I will turn to the movie franchise

And the film that in '93 dazzled my eyes

I was merely 11, and while I loved Star Wars

Another movie grabbed me; 'twas about dinosaurs

But now we're on the fourth of the set

Have you guessed what saga I refer to yet?

Of course the series is Jurassic Park.

The first was magic, but have they jumped the shark?

Fear not, dear Praetorian

We can go back in time

Not a flying Delorean

But a purpose to rhyme

See, without rhyme or reason

There's no reason to rhyme

So now is the season

To grant a topic sublime

Something deserving

Of this forum's discussions

Perhaps something unnerving

Like those arrogant Russians!

Or fast food!  Or travel!

Some topic like those

Where readers can unravel

The purpose of our prose

The shoe on the other foot makes me appreciate the gravity of your situation in our last game, Praetorian.  It's difficult to know how to navigate against two armies.

You guys might want to retract your moves.  I meant to say 6uv, not 7uv.  If you wish to make different moves, let me know.

I used the pawn on 8xy.  My apologies.

Yes, I could have let his rook get away, but I think having two rooks in the same army is actually a good thing, so only one can move per round.  Nevertheless, this is tricky business.

Sorry, yes I did intend to promote.  I hope you will still let that pass, since that was my primary intent of my move.  However, judging by Post's move, it may be moot.  I'll need to look for a minute....

Yes, it appears I will need to capture the rook and lose mine in the process.  A clever move.  I thought I saw something good, but it wouldn't work, so we'll stick with the most straightforward approach.

I'm sure both active members will be heartbroken.

Forgot to say check. I don't want to edit the post so you know I didn't change the move.
