    Is this the way to Armadillo
    every night he's been eating my pillow
    counselled by an Armadillo
    and random goat who waits for me,
    Show me the way to Armadillo
    he's been weeping like a willow
    crying over Armadillo
    and random goat who waits for me.

    Detailed explanations for how to leave pieces en prise, looking two moves ahead, losing tempo combinations, accidental mates and much more.
    Thank you for your book, I appear to have mastered the techniques!

    I am considering a sequel: Schemes and Ploys - Making it to 1400 by Deception.

    It'll have chapters on using the vacation feature to aggravate an entire mega tournament, passive aggressive compliments designed for timely annoyances, disguised engine use, and, of course, Advanced Sandbagging
