Here we have a titanic struggle -

England vs Scotland, Atheist vs Christian, Reason vs Faith, Logic vs Superstition, Evolution vs Creation etc etc. i think you get the picture.

In the end logic and reason triumphed over faith and superstition.



Carrobie is white, Knob is Black.

I'm just a gaul barbarian but I think that's a nice game.
One question.Suppose for a second that Scottish superstition would've had some christian faith in 21.Nf6+ to evolve his attack.
Then what logic would reason have used to save his atheist english creation?

toet.

21. Nf6+ looks devastating for black.

If you're Cornish how comes you have an English flag?

The shame!

That's an amazing amount of baggage brought to a single game. Was Robbie aware of what was at stake? 😞

More than aware, for example -

i have petitioned my God and he shall deliver you into my hand!

but God cannot lie, and the only chance that you stand, is, if i displease him in some way , so that he withdraws his support.
