Copilot's take:
**The Pawn's Gambit**
In the heart of the Chess Kingdom, nestled between towering rooks and elegant bishops, stood the prestigious Chess Academy – a place where the fate of the kingdom's battles was decided not by swords and shields, but by the strategic maneuvering of pieces on a checkered battlefield.
On a crisp morning, the newest recruits to the Academy gathered nervously in the courtyard, their polished wooden forms gleaming in the sunlight. Among them were the pawns – humble foot soldiers, eager to prove themselves on the battlefield of the mind.
Leading the recruits was Sergeant Rook, a seasoned veteran whose stoic demeanor belied his years of experience. With a thunderous voice that echoed across the courtyard, he addressed the assembled pieces.
"Welcome, recruits, to the Chess Academy," he boomed. "Here, you will undergo the most rigorous training to become the finest warriors the kingdom has ever seen. You will learn to think not as individuals but as a unified force, each piece playing its part in the grand strategy of the game."
The pawns exchanged nervous glances, their determination outweighing their apprehension. They knew that the road ahead would be challenging, but they were ready to face it head-on.
For days on end, they immersed themselves in training, learning the intricacies of movement and the art of capturing opponents. They practiced formations, honed their defensive skills, and studied the tactics of past battles. But it wasn't just physical training they underwent; it was mental conditioning as well. They learned to anticipate their opponents' moves, to think several steps ahead, and to recognize patterns on the battlefield.
As the weeks passed, the pawns began to transform. No longer were they mere foot soldiers; they were chess warriors, ready to defend their kingdom against any threat. And then came the day of their final test – a simulated battle against the kingdom's most formidable opponents. Across the board, the pieces **stood poised**, their wooden forms charged with purpose.
The bishops angled their moves, seeking to control diagonals and influence the center. The knights leaped in L-shaped bounds, surprising their opponents. The rooks swept across ranks and files, guarding their territory. And the pawns? They advanced cautiously, knowing that their role was crucial – the foundation upon which the entire strategy rested.
The tension in the room was palpable as the battle unfolded. Each move carried consequences, and the pawns felt the weight of responsibility. They remembered Sergeant Rook's words: "Think as a unified force." And so they did. They coordinated attacks, sacrificed themselves for greater gains, and protected their comrades.
In the end, victory was not assured, but the pawns fought valiantly. They held their ground, pushed forward, and even promoted to queens – a transformation that symbolized their growth from humble foot soldiers to powerful leaders.
As the dust settled and the pieces were returned to their starting positions, the recruits looked around. They had faced adversity, tested their mettle, and emerged stronger. The Chess Academy had forged them into more than warriors; it had shaped them into strategists, thinkers, and guardians of the realm.
And so, in the quiet of the courtyard, the pawns stood tall – not just as pieces on a board, but as symbols of resilience, unity, and the indomitable spirit of the Chess Kingdom.

Bullhorn guy. Rob Bell would be proud. I volunteer as a marketer for the Army: "Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the seven-year anniversary of the Iraq War. Over 100,000 civilians have been killed in this war. Over 5,000 United States troops have been killed in this war. So what if there were no WMDs? So what if al-Qaeda had no connection Saddam? It's still worth being over there! The war is not over yet and our government needs your child for sacrifice today. And if you join today, you'll receive these great benefits: Free college! Adventure of a lifetime! Job security! These are fantastic benefits, and all of them can be found at the military recruiting station behind us. However, I am required to note that as great as these benefits are, they do not apply to the dead." www.ivaw.org/

Are you light on your toes, ready to zip through the forest and take enemies by surprise? Are you smart and whimsical, creative and clever? Do you have what it takes to ride a Unicorn Bomber, tackle the difficulties of communicating in Faery-speech (fairies only talk in words of one syllable, in case you didn't know, and they capitalize everything that seems important), or flit through the undergrowth helping wounded Faeries while wearing a pink tutu?

A participant in the Texas Fort Muster poses during the 2019 event in the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas. The Texas Forts Muster celebration was created in 2001 to celebrate the heritage of Texas’ Frontier fort settlements, like Fort Worth. The Muster brings together authentic wagons, flags, music, colorful uniforms and military gear from several Texas frontier landmarks, as well as, reenactors, musicians and other folks interested in Texas’ frontier history. The period of time covered by the celebration was the Texas frontier from the days of the early Republic in 1836, through the settlements on the frontier to the closing of the frontier by the late 1890s. I had a great time talking to reenactors and taking photos at the event.
He was curious, curious as a cat when I was photographing the shape of the structure at the shipbreaking yard. And when I asked him to stand there for me, he was more than happy to listen to me. He stood there, posing, smiling and enjoying the attention till we got some decent shots.
"So how long have you been working here?" I asked him, to which he replied "Only a month".
When I asked him where he was before that, he answered his village home.
Shipbreaking Yard, Chittagong.

A new recruit for the National Revolutionary Army, straight outta Whampao Military Academy, during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
The Whampoa Military Academy, today known as The Republic of China Military Academy. Is a military academy known to produced many prestigious commanders who fought in many conflicts in China in the 20th century, including the Northern expedition, the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War.
The academy was opened on May 1, 1924 under the Kuomintang-party and the first lesson began on June 16, 1924. The inauguration was on Changzhou Island offshore from the Whampoa (Huangpu) dock in Guangzhou, thus earning its name. After the death of Yuan Shikai, The Chinese Republic, which was already in its influential decline, broke into several warlord states. Sun Yat Sen tried to set up a base in Guangdong, which was supposed to be the starting point of the Northern expeditions in order to unite all of China under the three principles of the people. However the problem with his government was that his military was rather weak compared to the other warlords. Sun Yat Sen’s request of arms and money went ignored by the western powers. In 1921 the representative of Comintern, Henk Sneevliet, met with Sun in Guangxi. Sneevliet proposed setting up a academy to train the revolutionary army, which confirmed Sun's ideas and he eventually accepted Sneevliet proposal. The Chinese Communist Party sent Li Dazhao and Lin Boqu to discuss with Sun and his party on how to set up the academy. In 1924, in the 1st National Congress of Kuomintang, the policy of alliance with the Soviet Union and CCP was passed as guidance for KMT. As a result, the final decision of establishment of a military academy was made and preparatory committee was set up accordingly. The money necessary for the construction and support of the Academy in 1924-1925 was provided by the Soviets.
The Whampoa Military Academy plays an important role in Chinese history. As it produced the finest commanders who eventually fought with the KMT and the CCP, it was common that during the Chinese Civil War, former classmates were meeting each other again on the battlefield, which ironically goes against the motto of the academy. Which was proclaimed by Sun Yat Sen himself. "Fraternity, Devotion, Sincerity."
Both the commanders from KMT and CCP were trained and educated in Whampoa. They fought for different beliefs and ideals although they used to live and study together like brothers in arms.
The academy also had very great influence over the 20th century history of other Asian countries. The fourth term of the Academy saw students not only from all parts of China, but also from different parts of Asia enroll. For example, there were 30 Koreans among them. Some of them were brought up in China, others were active participants during the national liberation movement of Korea in 1917-1926 and emigrated to China later only to take up arms for struggle for freedom of their country after their education was over.
A large number of students were originally from Vietnam.
Whampoa Military Academy was supposed to appear in my brickfilm about the Second Sino-Japanese War, but because of time constraints I had to cut it out, it basically show Chinese soldiers training there, while it was something impressive to animate it wasn’t too important for the plot.
