What a day today!! I was watching two really good chess players, ones who used to beat me in 3 moves. I got asked to play a game but I had quit a couple of years ago as I couldn't focus enough to ever win. I got talked into it. For about the first 10 moves I was holding my own and then I moved a pawn in what looked like a dumb move, that cost him a rook. God, I was getting focused, thinking several moves ahead, his and mine both. I got so excited to be thinking so clearly I started shaking. His Queen was threatening and I had a Knight in the way. He brought up two of his Knights to go after mine and help his Queen nail me and said gotcha. So I took his Queen and pointed out one of his Knights would be next and he'd be in check, then I'd take his Light Bishop and the next move would be CHECKMATE. I had him so bad I told him my moves and he still could't do anything about it. Brief moments of focused sanity, How Sweet It Is....
