hey c'mon man, i can't tell them *everything*.
i still have to be able to take them down at gametime!

so far....the only evolter to pin ol nagrom on the chessboard has been .jeff
we're currently 5-1.

mr evans has put up the best fight so far, he is a shrewd tactician.

in short, "ya'll suck!"

in the old days, the "queen" was called the "advisor" and could only move one
square at a time. the king could only move diagonally, i believe.

somewhere along the way, they started playing that getting your advisor to the
back rank caused a sex change, and made them the "queen", with the powers of the
modern queen.
