AND THEY'RE OFF! Yaaaaahoo! Linuxbeak | Desk 23:53, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

This is Eric the Reporter and with me is Master Funtano the Reporter, and we're back to our game commentary. The game is starting to get really exciting! Pieces are flying everywhere, and it looks like Hedley may be trying to set up a mate in 7 by sacrificing a bishop! And... what'd you say, Master Funtano? It's only the first move? But I thought... uh, hold on. We'll be back after these messages. Eric119 02:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Are your chess pieces starting to lose their polish? Does your King scratch the board when you castle? Try all-new Chess Polish now. Available from quality chess merchants.
 * No, no. Polish is 1. b4. JRM · Talk 11:40, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
 * I did try googling to see if any such product actually existed, but the two meanings of the word made finding relevant hits impossible.-gadfium 19:30, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I am now in the process of patenting Chess Polish. Thanks for the idea. Anyways, interesting game so far. Ghost Freeman | Talk 06:20, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Not sure my formatting is right :p This game will be slow because, as far as the time zone suggests, Hocevar is in Australia while i'm in the UK. Over the weekend speed may pick up, I hope. Hedley 16:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Heh, we are way closer than that! I live in Paris. I adapted the formatting to what other games have. Sam Hocevar 20:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Note: 14...Bb1 was reverted under agreement by both sides. Eric119 05:21, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

You win. :p Hedley 20:09, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You probably made it easier for me by sacrifying a knight for the center, but your open columns (especially G) could have been quite threatening. Sam Hocevar 07:38, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Combat Cheer
He was but a pawn in another's game. Barely a child, he had entered this war naive, innocent. The queen favoured him, and had bid him stand before her in battle. Now, he is a murderer. His uniform is still white, the colour of purity. But think of the turmoil in his mind! If he survives, will he know love, or joy, ever again?--Fangz 21:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, who cares? He's dead. You monsters.--Fangz 21:35, 17 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I take it Hedley's next move will be to resign? His position's hopeless, isn't it? jguk 19:58, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
