I love a good chess game.

In this thread alone --WDFW has lost many pawns.
64% of Puget Sound Chinook caught by the tribe ---sacrifice of a pawn
70% of Puget Sound Coho caught by tribe------------sacrifice of a pawn
60% cut of last year’s quota for sport fishers-------- sacrifice of a pawn
Increase of last year’s quota for the tribes -----------sacrifice of a pawn and position on the board.

It is going to have to be a miraculous comeback.
If behind a good player will look for a stalemate as well as a win. It is harder to accomplish either one according to the higher expertise of the opponent.

A possible stalemate could come in a court management agreement similar to US v. Oregon.
It should provide a better conclusion to the endgame than what is apparently happening in Puget Sound.
