Ick. I barely know how to play chess and even I can tell that looks sticky. Only thing I can think of is move the pawn from E-4 to F-5. Edit: No. Wait. Cause then your queen is still at risk. I dunno.
Nah. Chess is great. It's just the right combination of cunning, strategy and imagination that I don't get in most other (competitive) hobbies, especially now when my RPG group's schedules can't seem to line up for another month in a row. Maybe I'll give Shogi one more try, but I'm likely too far-gone to switch gears between those games. Never tried, or heard much of, Boggle. Speed-based Scrabble where everyone gets the same letters sounds better than most other word games I tried so far.
shogi is lots of fun and very different feeling from chess from a mental perspective - i almost find it easier to forget what i know about chess when playing shogi because the drop/promotion mechanics make things so different plus it's a lot more defensive at the start which i enjoy more - i feel so rushed at the beginning of a chess game
