"Damn, weak black squares round the king, send for our black squared bishop". Yelled the Black queen. But darling, we exchanged him 6 moves ago replied the Black monarch |

Then a white bishop bravely charged to attack the black queen. "Look into my eyes" started the black queen. But the white prelate was having none of it, and started chanting the Lord's Prayer over and over again. The black queen skunked away in disgust. |

And behind me I heard the cavalry clashing. They were going at it hammer and tongs. It sounded like they were killing each other off |

As the white bishop assuming a commanding position, one of our foot soldiers who was meant to be protecting our king made a cowardly dash into no man's land |

Only to be mowed down by the other white bishop. The two white Bishops started singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" I could see morale dropping in our camp. |

Even the black king tried to escape, but he ran into a brick wall. |

The White queen magnificently swept passed me, towards the black king, dagger in hand. I knew the game was up. |

Then a white bishop made an attack at the Black King. He called across to his beloved queen. "I must resign" he shouted. "No, fight on, to the death" yelled back the black queen. And my eyes started to open. I saw for the first time the wicked, cruel streak in her |

But it was to no avail. The Black monarch was soon killed. At that moment, the black queen's spell was lifted from eyes, and I realised how I had been led into such a terrible war. I was confused, didn't know what to do.... then I woke up in bed. It had all been just a dream. Damn that book of Bobby Fischer's, it gave me chess nightmares! I won't do that again. It will have to be Kotov's "Think like a Grandmaster" tonight! |
