This is truly great. Thank you.
Resignation or draw? What do you think?

You guys have both genders in the same jail in Wales? And how did you get access to sheep?
Oh and your French grammar looks nice. :) I could visualize you screaming by then.

Access to sheep is enshrined in the constitution in Wales. It is our birthright - it is the holy druidic animal which is revered by all Welsh people (much like the cow in India and the gnu in the dyslexic communities of America).

Except don't you guys eat their intestines and make puddings with them and do other stuff to them not in the way of reverence?

My dear girl it is indeed the height of respect and reverence. If you are going to kill an animal for food you give it the most respect by eating all of it. In my country the only part of the sheep that is not eaten (apart from the wool, obviously) is the bleat.
I saw a recipe in an old English cook book from the times of the Raj for Red Panda fricasse:
1 Kill Red Panda
2 Remove front paws
3 Discard Panda....
That is not respect. But that is the English.
We don't have pandas in Wales
Beast. Is that the only female you've ever played in chess? And what do you have against the people of China?
I have played other females:

I love the people of China, Dewi Chisaotong at the Peking Palace on the Llanelli road round the back of the municipal golf course makes the best mutton chow mein this side of Merthyr Tydfil.

In the recent Nantyglo Mixed Legends SuperSeries I had come through a stiff qualifying group and had drawn the bi-polar English Women's champion Sue-Emma Side in the semis. She responded to my Welsh Haka with a cheeky Lambeth Walk, we had both kissed the sheep and with all formalities completed we began the fateful match.
I played a classic of the Counter-Intuitivismism school the Anti-Benoni Queen's Indian she responded with the Double Freddy - it was fantasy chess of the highest order. Thrust and counter thrust. England versus Wales the oldest and bitterest of rivalries, Female versus Male the oldest and bitterest of rivalries, Beauty versus the Beast the oldest and bitterest of rivalries, Schizophrenia versus Bi-polar disorder the oldest and bitterest of rivalries etc.
20 moves in and I realised I had been in check for the last 4 moves but no-one had noticed so I was not letting on. It was then that I saw a stunning forced mate in 4 (or 5 if I got out of check first).
The tension was unbearable. It was Sue's move. She picked up the black bishop - there was a gasp from the other inmates. She stuffed it up her left nostril. She picked up the other bishop.
"Vous adoubez! Vous adoubez!" I was screaming by now.
She stuffed it up her right nostril. The crowd went wild.
She slammed her head into the board and was killed instantly.
In respect for Sue the game was declared a draw and the winner of the other semi Dai Young was awarded the coveted trophy.
But surely she had resigned?? Her King had definitely been knocked over when her head hit the board. Another travesty.
Draw or resignation?
She had a lovely tribute in the Nantyglo Argus the next day - her photo on the front page under the banner headline:
Sue E Side
Was it the same arbiter as the 50's guy you played with the ear disorder? If it was you could sue him.
Thank you for that link. I forgot about your hospital visit...and at the time I think I had read your post so fast that I didn't realize you were the only male to make it. You must have been the envy of a lot of guys before...you know...the bishop thing happened. What's with bishops and Welsh people?

A central tenet of the counter-intuitivismism school is to value knights over bishops as they offer more counter-intuitivistic move options.
I can't really speak for my whole race but I will anyway we don't really like their pointy hats or their general air of smug righteousness. Never get that with druids, mind.

I heartily disagree with this horrific comment! Compared to the french-English relationship wales and England is a bouncy, fluffy happy friendship of love. We English shall not have our enemies let off the (very sharp!) hook; Beast719 be afraid because if you make a comment like this again I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN! I shall track you through the Welsh fields killing the sheep as I go! Then I shall burn down your ugly welsh cottage and ...(run out of material!)

Did you not read what I wrote. She was called Sue I can't remember the arbiter's name but it was probably Iestyn.

Joey, I have a feling that England-Wales rivalry varies a little depending on whether you live east or west of Chester...
no! I am certain France is Englands enemy of old!
