They have won some awards, good for them!



Post by StoneHenge in Mig's Ninja forum with strong innuendo:
As long as you execute your moves properly, according to plan, then it is possible to mate your opponent in certain positions.
In such situations, I like to find a hole in my opponent's structure and plant a strong piece in it...
