Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-06-13  ozmikey: "A pawn down? No worries, it's opposite coloured bishops, I should be able to draw this. Oh wait...f7's falling. Two down. And that means b7 as well. Er, three pawns down. Charge with the a-pawn! Whoops, Bg4 and now if I play Rc5 guarding the c-pawn then Rd7 is mate. So...four pawns down.

Well, now I'm starting to get worried."
