Hi all ,

the second round of the Mystic-Chess-Tour is online, seeing the King of the animals facing Togaksch. I hope you enjoy the continuation of my fantasy-trip.

Just one more thing:

I?d like to point out, that the characters created in my stories aren?t in any association with my thoughts or feelings about an engine or author. I just need variable actors - funny, malicious, vain,clumsy, cute.... - to write a more or less amusing story. Please, never be upset, if your engine obtains a character, you regard as wicked or bold- they add the best zest to the story

Thanks a million again to Charles, who did the difficult job to correct my rusty English.
Anyway I want to apologise to all readers for my deficient English...it?s so long time since my schooltime (Oh dear, what an old frump I am *g* )

Enjoy your visit in the Court Of The Crimson Queen,

Hi Uschi,

Is this an ironical reference to the "bad programmers" among us (you know, those who are lucky all the time)?
Your english is extremely impressive!

BTW, I have a vague feeling that Toga got tricked at some point during the game ...
But because I can't figure it out, I am forced to admit that BigLion won fair(y) and square!

Fabien.

Hello Uschi

Although I consider myself of generally understanding english i had some trouble following the story.
This guy Charles has an impressive sometimes hard to understand english

What happened to Toga? Was this poor fruit in anyway handicapped?

Keep up the good work Uschi

I think that the fairy is stronger than Toga and Toga simply blundered even before the first move of the game by making the fairy angry.

Toga made the fairy angry by saying:

"Ha-ha, what a kinglike appearance, a moth bitten, cross-eyed lion. Is there no more deserved rival for a splendid fighter?"

I think that it was the decisive mistake of Toga and after it nothing could save it.

Toga blundered earlier by choosing bad person like Napoleon to help him and Napoleon also helped to make the fairy angry by throwing two fairies from their chairs.

Hi Fabien,

ironical? I don?t even know the meaning of this word*gg*

But my apology was written in earnest...you didn?t see the text, before Charles had the thankless task to correct it.

I hope, you go on enjoying the Magic-Chess-Tour, despite of some inexplicable misfortune, Toga had

Best,

Uschi

Hi Uri, hi Marc ,

thanks a lot for your comments - I?m very happy to get feedback from so many visitiors of the Magic Chess Tour!

Uri detected very sharp-eyed, how easy the worst blunder can happen even before the board is arranged - thanks for your great interpretation .


Marc, maybe you missed the link "Big Lion versus Toga, the game", the replay only shows a shortened version of the text. It is not Charles fault, if the story is written in an inscrutable English, that?s my crime - he had the hard job to correct all wrong spelled or used words. The kind of handicap Toga had to suffer from, was some form of "power of love" showed in a magical way .

Some other form might be shown soon, when women?s power rocks the Court of the Crimson Queen.

Sorcerous greetings ,

Uschi

Hi all ,

Short introduction to the game Bruja vs. Trace

well, a battle between women is coming up (probably next week), so one the fiercest one can imgine. At least two women involved in chess and not of that kind who want to tell us that there are thousands of more important things in this world than chess tournaments. Usually I would tell that women are a difficult species and that you can?t live with and that you can?t live without them, but knowing that Uschi would kill me for such a macho sentence I just tell that I would like to see more in chess and related topics .

While the witch is preparing some nasty spells she already flies around the chessboard on her broom, until finally Harry shows up and tears away the Nimbus 2000 he will need for the next Quiddage match. The witch lands on her bottom, helplessly looking at Trace, a really attractive woman just fishing for the compliments of the male spectators.

Okay, what terrible things really can happen when women quarrel, who else could tell this better than Uschi?

Best Regards
Heinz

Hi Heinz and Uschi,

Now this is going to be fun....

I don't think Dan H. named Bruja after his wife... hee hee hee, but I can tell you that I did. My wife's name is Tracey... so, it will make your wonderful 'fractured fairytale' game even more enjoyable.

And what's more, the two ladies/engines are very evenly matched, right down to the sharp nails and stiletto heels. But Bruja has the advantage of a broom - so its likely she'll sweep the floor clean of all trace of TRACE... hee hee

I love your work,

Ross

Hi Ross ,

thanks a lot for your very nice encouragement!

I?m just beginning to turn into a split personality to internalise the fighting ladies. Well, as I?m an old witch, that?s not too difficult in the case of Bruja, but I?ve to work hard, to get some trace of Trace into myself .

BTW - please don?t forget all my created characters are pure fantasy, to get a funny story - please don?t draw any comparisons with your wife! (Ahhhh...my days are numbered... )

I?m glad, that many people have the same fun in reading the stories than I have in writing them .

Best regards,

Uschi

More likely it's Heinz whose days are numbered.

"What terrible things really can happen when women quarrel"

What kind of a statement is that? Any man with any sense whatsoever knows to stay as far away as possible if women quarrel

Hi Dan ,

you are correct, absolutelty.

But my main goal in life ever was to become a really tough men and hero. So this is just the tenth and ultimate step of my survival training including earthquakes, anacondas, electroshocks, volcanos, sharks, Britney Spears concert, etc., admittedly by far the most dangeous one.

So some chances to get rid of me. Anyway there seem to be strategy also....as long as you do not try something only a suicide would do, like for example trying to appease the two women what would of course lead to be attacked by the sharp nails and high heels of both, there is a minimum of hope to get out of this somehow, or am I really too optimistic?

Best Regards
Heinz
