Main comic: A single panel titled "Chess Strategy: Win the psychological battle by attempting impossible moves," framed with little chess-knight icons. Two men face each other over a chessboard. The blond man in a brown jacket leans in confidently and declares, "Queen to C-12. Now, yahtzee my battleship!" The gray-haired man in a blue jacket recoils, distressed, shouting "No!" while the blond man crows "Bingo!" — mashing together nonsense rules from chess, Yahtzee, Battleship, and Bingo to rattle his opponent. Votey: A rough black-and-white sketch of one man grinning and reaching toward another, his speech bubble reading "Free slap!"
