editHelp Identifying a Film - Please
editThe film opens with the star - an American agent/spy/special ops guy - using amazing skills and guts to get through wild mountainous country to get to a meet at some sort of cabin in a remote location. The guy in the cabin (a similar agent) is expecting him but has trouble believing that he got there by the route that he did. The cabin comes under attack and it looks like the organisation bosses want our hero dead.
Key to the plot is that these agents take some sort of pill or injection regularly that boosts their physical prowess and mental alertness to almost super-human levels.
Can anyone identify the film title please?

Xiangqi End-game
editI'm studying a book on Xiangqi and it insists that if red has a rook and black has 2 ministers/elephants plus a knight, red can still win. It seems to me that black has no way to win with just a knight to attack with, but it also seems to me that the elephants defend the king far too well for red to checkmate black. How can red win this matchup? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.10.159 (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- According to this website, the most likely outcome is a win for red by far (if I interpret the data correctly).
