[TCZ] Lesson of the Day, June 1st | Buried Treasures, Caught Stealing by a Keen Pair of Bishops

Coach Chad found the appropriate punishment using 2 bishops to attack the king after his rookies took too many pawns from the cookie jar!

Some call this endgame a desperado or swindle, but real ones know it as just plain fate!!
