"Alright," Rustam's dad says, leaning forward ((see inside for a note on that...)) and setting up the black pieces. "It'll be a pleasure to play with you, Lily. I've been playing with Adwen and Rustam too long; they know all my tricks and how to counter them." At last the chessboard is set. Rustam's father leans back, adjusts his glasses and says, "There we go. Let it begin, then. Your move." -- Residential Caves

In reply to: Lily 's message, ""Sure," Lily said, happy to be doing something. She set her mug down and moved closer to the chess table and began to set up the white pieces." on 07:26:13 08/03/04 Tue

Hmmm...blocking this'll be awkward. Mayhaps we'll move the table in front of the couch, eh?

You mean Jane? The one who can't say a bad thing about anyone else? I have a friend who's like that...

...But then, I haven't seen the modernized version, so I'm not sure if she's still exactly like how she is in the book...

Oh, you poor thing. Eat some chocolate or some icecream or something. It'll help.

Lily bit her lower lip and moved a pawn forward two spaces. She then leaned back and waited for Rustam's father to make his move. -- Lily, 08:10:09 08/04/04 Wed
- Rustam's father calmly moves the pawn opposite Lily's forward two spaces, stopping the advance of her pawn. "Your move," he says, pulling his hand away and looking up at Lily. -- Rustam's father, 14:08:03 08/06/04 Fri
  - In the meanwhile, Rustam's mother mumbles something and stands, exiting through the kitchen. Presumably to have a word with Rustam, who appears to be taking his time getting the firewood... (NT) -- Rustam's mum, 14:10:29 08/06/04 Fri
