Clash of the Titans

...

A.A. moves his Knight to d5

Tress Vandeley: (Brilliant, brilliant. That's a shrewd one right there. In one fell swoop he has managed to save the fork that was going to be threatening his Queen and Rook 7 moves down the line and build up a momentum which gives him strategic play in the center of the board. I suppose he is thinking of moving his e and f pawns to threaten the integrity of my King's castle while his Bishop controls the black diagonal. And now with his Knight ensconced at such an advanced position I think the game is going down south for me in less than 23 moves. Mr. Alexandrovich's reputation precedes him. But I should never have underestimated a Russian to begin with. Counterattack is my only option. Maybe I can rattle his composure.)

T.V. moves his Rook to c2

Anatoly Alexandrovich: (Why the hell did he do that? I'll move this long towering one.)

A.A. moves his Queen to a4

Tress Vandeley: (My god, such genius. Such genius! 12. Qxd7, Kg8, 13. Kne7, h6... ... ... I estimate a checkmate in 17 moves. Unless I do something now, my demise is just around the corner. To think that someone could have come up with such a deep move at such a nervous juncture of the game. It doesn't take a genius to see that Mr. Alexandrovich has descended from the land of the Karpovs, Spasskys, Kramniks, and Kasparovs. My god, what shall I do here. The only hope I can see here is my aggressive flank on the Queen side and I should try to step up the pressure.)

T.V. moves his Bishop to e3

Anatoly Alexandrovich: (The short stumpy one then the long slender one then the short stumpy one then the long slender one. I get it now. Here gallops my horse.)

A.A. moves his Knight to f6

Tress Vandeley: (Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn. What insight! What absolutely brilliant insight! Is it time that I resign to a guy who is well and truly on the top of his and our game? He already has a significant strategic advantage. Although I am ahead on material but hindsight shows that Mr. Alexandrovich offered his gambits and I lapped them up without enough thought. But what could I have done in the face of such brilliance? That pawn sacrifice on the third move - who could have thought that it was offered to gain positional advantage 25 moves down the line? There is no other way. It's time I give up and accept defeat against a man who is pushing the envelop in our field.)

T.V. resigns by flicking his King.

Anatoly Alexandrovich: Dude, you tripped your slacker.
