Jada Said So
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

Hit and miss stuff... mainlines, somewhat uncommon openings, and active play in the center, with emphasis on active piece play. Fredthebear tells Jada to "act like Gligoric and play with your pieces more than your pawns." She has to do things her way. Experimentation can make for good learning opportunities if the correct assessment is made, and logical alterations follow-up.

Snow White & the Huntsman by Evan Daugherty

"Who will you be when faced with the end?
The end of a kingdom,
The end of good men,
Will you run?
Will you hide?
Or will you hunt down evil with a venomous pride?

Rise to the ashes,
Rise to the winter sky,
Rise to the calling,
Make heard the battle cry.
Let it scream from the mountains
From the forest to the chapel,
Because death is a hungry mouth
And you are the apple.

So who will you be when faced with the end?
When the vultures are circling
And the shadows descend
Will you cower?
Or will you fight?
Is your heart made of glass?
Or a pure Snow White?"
― Lily Blake, Snow White & the Huntsman
