Saw this picture in another thread. Funny. But I find the caption is incorrect.

A more correct caption would be: You drop something when you're younger, you wait for someone older to pick it up and hand it to you...

I think there is some confusion due to the poor picture quality.

1) x - Rd8 -> d1
2) Qe2 -> d1

No knightlike ability needed.
