Episode Summary:
Last week, JumpyHoney got her prize for solving the Puzzle of the Week, and now it's HeroicPatch's turn! The PinkHamster talks about the idea of "weak squares", "outpost squares", and particularly "weak complexes of squares" on a certain color, using ChessKid games to illustrate the ideas! The PinkHamster concludes his talk of "weak color complexes" with a brilliant game played by the fourth World Chess Champion, Alexander Alekhine, which can be seen with annotations in the PinkHamster Club.
Of course, no show is complete without a PinkHamster battle! This week, the hamster tastes defeat, but against who? His ChessKid opponents were HeroicPatch, HealthyChicken, mattguy444, Zurie, and RookieCookie. Make sure to watch these exciting games!
