I attack through the center. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Thus if I take his queen first, for instance, then his king is just a matter of time. Pawns skips squares on the first move only, still not knowing their hierarchical order, and knights as though unicorns hop gracefully, calmly, toward the enemy out of the corner. The two queens rave in passion, becoming very ecstatic, “off with her head!” pointing at each other. Who would have thought that chess could get so dramatic? Black and white figures ardently hover And only the king all alone, is lonesome and grieving neither charging nor hiding, just waiting while his subjects are fighting for life and living,-- he’s squared like some mime,- it’s degrading! The black bishop makes two moves down the left lateral. and the scorekeepers quickly record them. At this time, my king resigns as an admiral and commits suicide out of boredom.

Wonderful Master ... checkmate! I see you've posted this in Open 9 as well though, and since the guidelines ask that you not cross-post, I'll close this one so others can respond to this in Open: /pip/Forum33/HTML/001692.html |
