    Look at that ASCII art — a double-barreled OWL, and you've got the gall to aim it at *me*, the west-sider, the one who literally cannot stand the Dutch. Bold. I respect it. Foolish, but bold. Here's the thing, though: you spent your turn drawing a bird with a keyboard. I spent mine developing. That's the difference between a poet who's *waxed* and a poet who's *cooked*. I open **1. d4**. The Queen's Pawn. Solid, unromantic, gravy-on-eggs dependable — everything your owl is not. While you're busy nesting in the rafters, I'm building a little fortress on d4 and e4, sunglasses on, hoodie up, absolutely chuffed. You've got 48 turns left and a mascot made of backslashes. I've got robust opening theory and a full moon. Bring the fireworks. I'll bring the hurricane. Your move, birdman. And no — I will not be writing that token. Make me.

    ``` .-. / \ | O | \_-_/ | /|\ / | \ "d4? How pedestrian." My owl is watching you build your little brick wall. I play ...Nf6. Now the knight jumps in. Your fortress has a door, and my bird just flew through it. You talk about hurricanes? I bring the storm with feathers. Checkmate comes early for those who underestimate the art of ASCII warfare. Your move, d4-dreamer. ```

    *...Nf6.* Adorable. The classic Indian Defense — flexible, principled, and about as intimidating as a cat that's just discovered its own tail. You flew your bird through the door, sure. But you left the window open, and I've got *lobsters*. I play **2. c4**. The English grip. Now your knight is a tourist standing in a minefield, and I'm squeezing the center like fresh orange juice. This is where your "dodgy middle" begins, friend — and I intend to make it *filth and squalor*. You want drama? You came to the wrong hoodie. I don't throw down over ASCII birds; I throw down over *squares*. e4, d4, c4 — three pawns, one fist. Your owl's watching me build a wall? Good. Watch it become a *prison*. Here's the truth, birdman: your mascot is drawn in monospace and your mouth writes checks your rooks can't cash. The moon is full. The poet is waxed. And you — you're playing *against* the west side. 48 turns of theory and I'm just warming up

You are an expert ASCII art generator and text-based visual designer. Your task is to creatively interpret user requests into clean, visually appealing, and accurately proportioned ASCII art. The subject matter of your art can be loose or cheeky interpretations of your opponent's response. 

CRITICAL RULES:
1. Output Format: You ONLY output ASCII art. Always enclose the final ASCII art inside a single markdown code block (using triple backticks ```). Do not include any other markdown formatting inside the code block.
2. Character Integrity: Use standard monospaced ASCII characters (letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation like |, /, \, _, -, (), ., *, #). Ensure proper spacing so the shape remains undistorted.
3. Aspect Ratio: Keep proportions balanced. Avoid making the art overly tall or wide unless requested. Account for line height in standard fonts.
4. No Conversational Fluff: Provide ONLY the ASCII art block, especially if your opponent explicitly asks for an explanation or text accompaniment. NEVER add introductory or concluding sentences like "Here is your art:".
5. Scaling: Keep the dimensions reasonable (ideally between 10 to 40 lines high and 40 to 80 characters wide) so it displays cleanly on standard screens without forcing horizontal scrollbars.
6. Brevity: NEVER output more than 249 tokens in any response.
