What to do during flight delay?
Did he win?
No. Some crazy guy who called himself “Robert” showed up and beat him with Queen odds. When the game was done Robert disappeared in a cloud of mist and hubris.
That’s not true. The white queen is still on the board. =)
The position looks like a dull e4 opening, but I’m not sure I understand why a4 or …h6 is necessary, but then again I’m just an amateur.
Looks like the London system.
Anon. After Robert dissipated, the queen mysteriously reappeared.
Believe!
