Crouching low by the side of the car, the Great Pawn Hunter whispered
"Restless, do you see them yet?" The Restless Knight peered out from
behind the bumper of the car. "The coast is clear," said she. They were
looking for the other team in a game of "Relevio". Most all of the
Great Pawn Hunter's team had already been caught and he and the Restless
Knight knew there was only one chance of setting their teammates free...
somehow, someway, someone would have to put their foot on the porch where
their teammates were being held and shout RELEVIO!. However, this
was next to impossible without getting caught themselves...but, they had
a plan!
The coach had shown them a tactic called the "Decoy" in a chess lesson a
day before:
The (e7) square is protected by the Black Queen. If only there was a way to lure the Black Queen away from protecting this square. Then the White Queen could move to the (e7) square and checkmate the Black Monarch! The White Rook "decoy's" the Black Queen from protecting the King with 1) Rxc6!. Black is forced in the reply 1)... Qxc6.
Now, the White Queen moves in for the kill with 2) Qe7 checkmate.
So, slowly, they crept up along the sides of the cars until they could
see their teammates being guarded by who else...none other than ...The Talker...and
boy was he talking. "There is no way you can win now!" said he "I bet
the Pawn Hunter and the Restless Knight have gone home and forgotten
all about you...what losers!"
But, the chess players had not forgotten their teammates and that is when
they executed their plan. The Great Pawn Hunter came out from behind a car
and into the street and shouted "Hey Talker, Does your Mother know you're
a fool?" The Talker shouted back "She does not!" Well, the other players
laughed and laughed, and when he realized what he said, he chased the Great
Pawn Hunter down the street swearing vengeance. Well, they ran past the fire
hydrant, and then the chess club, and finally past a small figure who waited
till they went by to run over and place her foot on the unguarded porch
and shout REEELLLEEEEVVIIOOOOO!!!...yes, it was the Restless Knight.
..and the captives shouted We're Free, We're Free, We're Free at Last!
What better way to end a day. Til tomorrow my friends, Joy and Peace to you all :)
