A Clash of Kings


CLICK FOR LARGER PIECES

Chess with a 2-year old can get pretty interesting in a hurry. Openings are non-standard, to say the least. Jack made the Latvian Gambit look like a butterfly kiss soonafter his initial (and somewhat unexpected) opening move (b7 b5). He then decimated his own ranks, and trotted his king out for all to see. Unflanked, he proceeded to challenge my king to some kind of supreme duel, a la Jamie Lannister (after his capture). As you can see, he did not wait for the courtesy of a reply, sweeping white from the board with one swing of his tiny forearm. Then he raised a rook in sweet victory. Not bad for a man wearing pyjama shorts.
