Was at Nathan's mom's side of the family's get together, met lots of people, yadda yadda.
But anyway, Nathan's brother Aaron was playing chess with their cousin Matthew, and had taken two pawns and a bishop without giving up any pieces himself. Matthew gave the game up, tipped over his king. I said, wait, I'll take over. Took that game, three pieces behind, and beat him. I r teh awesome! What really saved me was I went ahead and put pieces where his queen could get them, but he wouldn't take them because he'd lose his queen. Lined up my rook behind my own queen on the same line his king was sitting on, and waited for the way to clear.
