Communique: "I can't recall the day when I made my
sixth move, the fatal Nf6. Itīs all a blur. I remember
that mom called me the day before to tell me that she
had knitted me a pair of socks. The day after the
blur, I ran over to her and fetched them, because I
got really cold feets when discovering the stupid
move of the knight. Of course the pawn sacrifice has
to be accepted, but then I never liked gambits, so."
A desperat plee for re-play by the Baron has been accepted
by the Harlequin and Mr Grotmol. The Match will be decided
in best of three games. The winner could call himself
Champion of Ladonia, at least until the national championships
will be held.
