In this recent game, I got really lucky with a less than regular but much stronger opponent. This is personally noteworthy because, with more than 250 points higher in ranking, I consider my opponent to be almost unbeatable.
In pushing his attack a little too far and probably gotten a little too eager to support his advances, my opponent found himself in a quick turn of the tide, Game-of-Thrones style. My king's knight eliminated the Queen, in a guardian role around my exposed king. I could not help but relate to "The Kingsguard", or Lord Commander role in GOT.
The rest of the game demanded determined moves from me to secure the iron throne of this checkered realm... OK OK, pardon my pre- occupation...
