Shaking his head in disapproval, Ljubo strode up to the board, took down all the moves now being assayed and brought the position back not to Move 23 but to Move 22.

...learned that blue squares opposed pink triangles. Are we now going to be besieged by posters of soft pornography right before parent's weekend, I wondered? How exciting! But, to my intense disappointment, this was not going to be. "Imagine what else I could have learned!" No, we were instead deluged by text from a group with the most annoying acronym in modern history...
