0. FEN for those of you with chess viewers: 6r1/3k1p1p/3b1n2/3P4/2b3p1/2Q2P2/r1P2PKP/2B1R3 b - - 0 1
1. Black (Landon) has given Q+2P (9+2 = 11 points) for R+B+N (5+3+3 = 11) -- dead even!
2. Alas, White (Clint? -- best guess from the short fuzzy hair) seems to have just played Qc3, forking two loose Black pieces: Bc4 and Nf6.
3. Landon can't save them both -- neither of them has a check, nor can they protect each other in one move.
4. I assume it's Landon to move, hence his deep thinking. He's losing a piece, and it looks like he's just shy of a mating net: 1..gxf3++ 2.Kh3! (2.Kh1 Ng4! lets Black have too much fun) Bxd4 3.Qxf6 Rg2 (threat at h2) 4.Bf4 (Black is running dry) Be6+ 5.Rxe6! White returns material to cynically deny Black's goal-scoring opportunity, and his Q mops up Black's disorganized pawns.
5. Salute to both guys for getting that far without hanging something :)
6. Landon carefully arranges his captured pieces upright in columns in the box. Clint just tosses them in.
As the governing body of soccer in all its forms in the United States, U.S. Soccer has helped chart the course for the sport in the USA for more than 90 years. In this time, the Federation’s mission statement has been very simple and very clear: to make soccer, in all its forms, a preeminent sport in the United States and to continue the development of soccer at all recreational and competitive levels.

An instructional chessboard, Landon? You're smarter than that! :-)
Good luck guys
