It was like en passant but not in french and I wasn't playing chess.
"OK That's my break." Dude looks to his team captain and the guy is nodding like any Texas preacher at collection plate time with the oil execs sitting in the front row. By the look on my opponent's face I had already won and the balls had yet to be broken.
Once in high school Jeff Stein during a chess match (yes I am that geeky, shut it.) was put in a position where he could execute en passant. He did. The guy challenged the rule and of course Jeff was right. Dude folded.
If you fuck the break up twice it goes to the other player. I had just lost so we were 1/1 and the guy was really wound up. He double hit the cue not once but twice. Hence my break. The guy didn't know that rule. So when his coach confirmed it he was not happy. I only had to win one more and I flustered him the last bit by taking the break away from him. When I broke the rack, he was really wound up. I don't want to say I easily beat him, I didn't. I don't want to say my win was pretty, it wasn't. The guy was better than I was, but he lost his cool and that was the little tiny edge I needed.

Thats why I like your blog. I don't really understand it, but it is entertaining and I learn things as well.
Rules? Marty where we're going, we don't need rules.
Thats awesome though, its like two victories in one game. Wonder if I can remember it well enough to bust it out on my dad, he always whoops me in chess. Why is it my only strategy is to take all the pieces and then use rooks to nail down the King? Oh ya, I have the patience of a gnat.
