ITP: Chess and Other Games

[--oh oh oh man, it’s the worst feeling, like one of those slow-motion disasters in the movies, where you walk in on something and you immediately know that you’ve walked in on something, the awkwardness hits before your foot touches the ground for your next step but it's too late for you to turn around, the inertia is already carrying you forward

Not bad.

[mind_over_metal]

Thank you, Robin. I assume that you play, of course.

[dickaster]

Of course.

[mind_over_metal]

We'll have to have a game sometime. Though I'm afraid that I'm rather engaged for today.

[dickaster]

Are you guys having a two-man tournament or something?

[mind_over_metal]

You could say that. It's more of an ongoing thing, though.

Do you get much chance to play here?

[dickaster]

To be honest, I haven't really tried. I'm probably getting out of practice.

[mind_over_metal]

We'll have to remedy that, then.

[dickaster]

Oh, okay. I get it. Can't break your concentration.

[peering over your shoulder obnoxiously :)]

[godwinner]

It would take somewhat more than that.

[dickaster]

How much more?

[godwinner]

I wouldn't recommend testing it.
