scouting report

London System

Two moves in and the position is as flat as the cardboard it ships in. Symmetrical, automatic, and somehow still a draw.

Weaponized Tilt

A strategy where the first piece you sacrifice is your composure. The only thing climbing is the blood pressure.

Premewing

When the mouse outruns the plan and the click blunders before the position does. Premewing: speed without intent.

The Triangle Company

Three sides, and somehow the shape of a 504. The only thing sharper than their logo is the edge of the board you're about to fall off.
