Captain Spalding Chess. Find an Elephant in your Pajamas.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

i think you may be misjudging the value of the great pajamas.  in an
endgame where the rhinos, headless rhinos, and great elephants have been
traded off, winning with just an elephant and bats can be difficult.  in
such a situation, if you are the only one with great pajamas, it means you
control where the dust demons appear on the board.  since they are
neutral, this is critical.
