La maîtresse du jeu d’Échecs / The Mistress of the Chess Game #poeme #domination #maitresse #bdsm #échecs #chess
dans le jeu d'échecs de cette dominatrice
les pions capturés y passent à son service
ils doivent y subir l'horreur de ses sévices
ils se soumettront à ses si dures injustices
car ainsi de leur liberté ils font le sacrifice
ainsi elle devient de leurs vies la directrice
puis le maître battu se pliera à cet exercise
ou subira de vraiment terribles préjudices
Tiens, question stupide. Avant les tournois d'échecs en général les gens se préparent. Il y a parfois leur préparation qui fuite, ce qui amène leurs adversaires à les analyser et à les attaquer sur leurs points faibles. Est-ce que ça a déjà existé un joueur qui a volontairement fait « fuiter » sa préparation, contenant des trous béants pour inciter ses adversaires à l'attaquer là où il a des bottes secrètes spécialement prévues pour les contrer ?
My correspondence chess opponent just resigned in a dead drawn position and I am extremely disturbed by this:
https://lichess.org/VpkS1tvv#79
It's a dead draw. I offered a draw - declined - about fifteen moves ago. I was about to offer again. Because this is a draw. No-one is winning here.
Why would a person resign this position?
It's... maddening.
