Don't go easy on her just because she is a girl. She's actually a strong chess player!

Well, she actually took my queen for free, and it can be a little difficult to win after that happens

Ouch, that would have hurted your chances. Did she trap your Queen or was it a blunder?

Blunder I am afraid. I simply missed the fact my Queen was under attack.

Its a lot funner when your opponent blunders a queen instead!

No! It's a magical place where deer frolicked the quad. Where you can be free to play what ever stupid move you want. Guess what. I said Magical

I agree. It's not a fairy tale. Blunderland is the magical land of dropping pieces for free, in what would be a kind of Chess Xmas... I guess that makes me Santa, bringing gifts and joy to adults and children around the World.

However, some other people visit it ocasionally. Check it here:
