The Royals gathered one by one,
From far away did many come.
Kings brought queens and queens brought kings;
And little boys the bishop brings.He laid them out. At four apiece,
To total eight; each on a leash.
Between the mighty castle walls,
Stepped forth the horses from their stalls.And all were suited rank and file;
To stand their ground but for a while.
For naught could match the white king's greed.
Who first set charging on his steed.Thus tumult struck each embassy,
As wars broke out at EvC.

Damn!Omni keeps forking me.I'm really no good at this.

On the tournament at FA, we came up with a points system that I kind of liked.Everyone plays everyone else once. Points are awarded for wins, draws, and losses.Highest point holder wins the tournament.I like +1 win, 0 draw, -1 loss.What do y'all think of that?Edited by Jon, : No reason given.

Omni's quite the clever player. I've been forked by his knight in our single game more than I've ever forked anyone in all my playing!

As Phat has been pointing out to me, my game as of late has been horrible. I told him my brain is deteriorating; I can't think of what else it could be.Jon
