I dunno, I'm supposed to get all crossways when kids get killed, but I'm supposed to ignore this one. Almost doesn't compute.

Originally posted by FMFTell us about the whole board then because the game is a stinking mess. Which player is in the stronger position and why are they keeping the stranglehold on the play, preventing the game from moving forward? How can they agree a draw? and if thats not possible, how can we kick the board off the table and scatter the pieces across the room and get a life?
