75. How gullable does he think I am, sheila wondered? I know that they were not paying attention. She knew that Knight Ride Her loved to play a queenside attack and sneak up on his opponent strategically by dominating on the 7th rank. That must have been one intense game, she mused, silently. Well, it seems everything is okay now. (sigh)
77. Kazakstan was a warm and beautiful ancient city that was rapidly becoming modernized with oil riches. The "limo" ride to the hotel was harrowing but it was good to be on the ground after that, well, exciting flight. As she walked in to the hotel lobby, a stern man with a gold front tooth who was dressed in a cheap business suit asked her if she wsa escorted by her husband or a relative. She wanted to tell him to scram, but figured that it's probably prudent to play it straight, so she said that she was meeting her husband who was already registered, one Ben Rawlings.

The man sitting, on the couch a few metres away from the front desk, reading the year old copy of News Week peered over the the top of the magazine at the mention of Ben's name and studied the beautiful woman across whose lips the name had passed. "Lucky man" he whispered to himself as he got up to follow her to her room. As he did so he punched a number into his cell phone and waited for the person on the other end to answer. He knew it would take only a second. Although it was "just a job" he knew he was going to enjoy "interviewing" her. Meanwhile back in Ben's room the phone rang and the man who answered it said just one word....Da.

79. Sheila glanced at the silver plated pitcher on the room service table outside room 666 and saw the distorted image of the man who had followed her from the lobby. She knew that he was either scratching his head or making a cell phone call and so she accidentally knocked a flower vase off the server table while fumbling for her key in her small handbag. The quick turn of her head bending down to pick up the vase while complaining loudly about how clumsy she is gave her a glance at him trying to palm the cell phone.
80. As she put the vase back up on the server cart she grabbed the steak knife and turned to drive the knife into the man's throat, eliminating any possibility that he might utter a sound. She then grabbed his cell phone and pushed send on the last number. Once the telephone tones - LONG LIVE MEDVEDEV - began to "ring" inside the room, she knew that she hadn't sacrificed "an innocent" pawn. As the door opened, a very surprized Ilyan Iliyitch Ivanovitch found himself greeting a steaknife in his chest. Sheila casually walked in and untied Ben.

Originally posted by coquette83. So Ben had one of the bellhops get the doorman to come in and see him. He spoke to him and they both went into the "gents room". A few minutes later the re-emerged and had swapped clothing. Ben exited the lobby and hailed a cab. Then he went back in covered Sheila with a fauxfur coat, as though she were a celebrity and whisked her and he into the cab right under the noses of the secret police. They instructed the cabby to take them to the stock exchange as Ben removed his doorman clothing and put on his own. Unfortunately they were 5 minutes too late as the exchange had closed. Ben took out his cell phone and dialed a number, asked where they could find a safe hotel and wrote down and address which he gave to the cabby and said "Please take us there". When they pulled up to the address he'd given the cabby Ben said to him,"Are you sure this is it? This looks like a funeral home." Sheila said, "What better place to stay..nice and quiet and the last place the KGB would think of looking for us".
82. Their exit from the building, though, was complicated by the waiting secret police surrounding the building.
86. China Oil and Gas (ChOnG) filed a protest complaining of engine use again. The moderators were becoming tired of the constant complaints against Doyle. This was old business, still the complaints in the public forum were getting bitter, so they started to check the moves against their multitude of engines. One result popped up. The last four moves were highly unusal and matched the latest version of Fritz. They were carefully calculating the playing strength of each move and whether a player of Doyle's strength was likely to make the moves that he was making. It sure was suspicious to them that such remarkable sacrifices in the middle of the board led to the deadly Queen, Knight and Rook attack on the opponent's Kingside, but that was just a combination. Overall, the moves were unique and didn't match any known programmed generators. What if this was an incidental consultation that was made in a difficult tactical situation? Maybe, but there isn't proof - yet.
