Chess: Zukertort Opening: Tennison Gambit (Aikido Vibe)

Onegaishimasu. 🙂‍↕️

Hi. 👋

I played the offence side of the pieces.

My opponent, the defence, was quite aggressive – thought one was the offence. Thus I surmised, Mm. Yes, yes. ⬅️ Quite a delay, that.

🤔 Then, I shall employ that lad's energy.

Perfect. Now I'll just gently redirect your queen over there… set your horse loose from the barn… Ah.

And... the bishop on g6 was the peak of the nage-waza.

Come now, you've forgotten your king. Let me help you lie down.

You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.


Nage-waza (投げ技) means throwing technique — a broad term used across Japanese martial arts to describe techniques that off-balance and project the opponent, regardless of whether it’s done with redirection, disruption, or sheer force.

In judo, jujutsu, or karate, we throw. In aikido, they throw themselves, we're merely a guide.

Arigatou gozaimashita. 🙂‍↕️
