Tactics Laboratory #12
I was looking through my game database and found a casual game I played long ago. The game took place in Chicago’s Hyde Park at an outdoor meeting spot called “Harper Square.” Chess players were later banned. My opponent had just played 27. Ne3-g4.

Black to move and win!
Daaim – is the ban still in effect at Harper Square? What would happen if the Drum combines forces with some other chess groups in Chicagoland (such as Renaissance Knights and CICL) and organizes a series of massive protests? People can even bring in their own folding tables and chairs, others would bring sets, and you could fill the square with 20 to 30 chess tables. If the protesters patronize the local shops and eateries, the business people will be on your side. Get some friendly press coverage (including TV and radio) and voila! you’ll overturn the ban! If you have a lawyer or two among the volunteers, they can deal with anyone attempting to violate your rights of free speech and free assembly.
You need not post this comment on the site, but I believe Qe1+ Ne1 Nf5 Qh3 Bg4 wins
Good job Richard!
Peace,
