Trilogy !_Part 1_!

As the white as snow are the dices to roll 

3 Brother at Arms That's all there's to know 

This 1 is a tribute to the greatest Doctor there is, MBC the Great!

The black king is in dire straights to meet up with his troops and lead them to victory. The speed of his royal stallion however is no match for the long distance cannon ball the enemy is preparing to interfere with his journey. He is destined to fall at the very gate where he planned his reunion. Such is the fate of a warring king!

That is the glorious narrative of “1 who’s standing tall”… but that is not all there is to tell… feed us with the rest… "a" done , 2 more to go...

"2. Who's to crawl 
& who's neither to win nor to fall"

… or to put it plainly:

There are 3 objectives on the puzzle-menu as white's launching the onslaught:

Which pawn-push is TO…

-          1) Win

-          2) Draw

-          3) Lose

I see, it's so sad. History is written by the victor while the lesser actors fade from the records. We all know Alexander the great - who begifted me my middlename - but who heard of his brother Brontes who barely survived as a scribe for the Hellenic fleet and the 3rd sibling Charon who perished when he landed his warship on the wrong square? Their tales were told but nobody knows how much of it is true. Let's put our trust in the gods to write their deeds of courage in the annals of Zeus stored in the chamber of wars on the Olympus. All are remembered.

Ain't Alexander The Greats middle name "The"?

Ur middle name is The?

Actually, my middle name is "TheOne" but I think that's a bit fat so I shrunk it to "The".

Good idea.

Wiser words, never said!

My late father’s name is also Alexander and he was as much if not more a “pain-in-the-you- know-where” as the real deal, and indeed, YES the history is a subject riddled with alzheimer's. An Alzheimer’s inclined to heed the victors and dictators rather than other sectors with others with other indicators…

Even " -Lover” the father of Xander, has not received as much praise as his son. Actually it was HIM/HE who created the fighting force that made a tourist out of Xander and handed him the “itinerary” to his “Gulliver’ian adventures”, all before the time of zeppelins or the charter that took a certain young man to “the Dam”, well noted. He was killed before he could… you know. A LEAP O’ FAITH? Ohhh hence F-A-LEAP-O’

Now, not all Xandy siblings were anonymous according to the will of the “Olympian deities”. Charon is now a “wet-bus-driver to Venizian Neverland’s” But I do not recommend you to take a hike on his “one-way-ticket-gondola”. ‘Though click “HERE ON CHARON” and see & hear for yourself. You will love this ride on the trip to the “Mire-Landian Kingdom”! Da-da-da DAAA Da-da-da-DAAA ... Da-da-darada-DAAA...

Ahaaaa, I just love this piece of masterclass chess-litteratur! Very very ”Chessepeare-ian”, indeed!

Thx! Did you know Xander was a pupil of Aristotle? I never figured out from which of the two I reincarnated

Btw, those old videos remind me of the state of my hair. Every year my envy grows by about 10%

Oh no! Two of those aren't in puzzle form! .

I'll guess, I could not muster enough courage as to ask people 2 get all worked up & facing the prospect of playing a losing game, not alone a drawing one which is even worse! However a very valid question... Thank you 4 that!

However 4 you my dear friend... 

Done... &DDD... D1!
