Smaug. Even though you have mate in one. White can still move his king to h6. How do they declare the game won?

40. Kh6 Rh4#
Seems the other rook can deliver the mate at h5 as well.

One time I was drinking at the bar and I was talking to this guy in a wheelchair (motorcylce accident) who knew my brother. He refered to me being a piece of garbage and a nobody for no good reason. So I told him, "You know what? I don't care what you say or call me. I can walk out of here!"
Didn't go over as well as you might expect.

Do you understand what sacrifice is?
I've been going to hockey games since 1972 [yup, before I could walk I was a hockey fan :-) ]
Well, one year I got a chance to see a game in Detroit. The Red Wings against my home team the Vancouver Canucks. Our seats were great, just at the top of the first section, mid ice and just below the handicapped ...[text shortened]... y Bob Arrakis. Great guy.
I've never taken crap from the handicapped since...

Au contraire, it is very funny.

I think parody is the word we're looking for here, not plagiarism.

Originally posted by MimorI'm shocked at such an accusation! Arrakis is a legend on RHP, a sage old man of wisdom and kindness. Plus, from what I hear, dedicated to Chess... I understand that he's recently had is balls replaced with a couple of Queens...
