An amazing game
We were losing the battle. Our King was old and weak and could hardly move. He was hiding
just outside the castle walls. Of the three soldiers who had been appointed to protect him, two
had been killed while on duty and I was left alone.
Fortunately for us, our Queen was a young and active woman. Tall, dark, and very beautiful,
she looked splendid out there in the battlefield with her knights at her side. She had fought with
great courage and already killed two enemy officers herself. Since we had lost so many men it
was difficult for her to attack.
She therefore decided to do all she could to defend the king. I got a shock when I saw a humble
enemy solider threatening her! He came up very close, but her brave knights scarified their lives
to save her. Alone now, she was trapped by the enemy, and though she fought hard, she, too, lost
her life. Great numbers of enemy officers and soldiers now descended upon us and soon
destroyed the castle. Completely defeated, the King and I tried to run away together, but it was
too late. As the King moved up behind me, I heard the words “Check mate”. Another game of
