And thus it came to pass that Sheila, the Black Beauty, would move her shining black knight to the surprize D7 square for a three-move mate combination, a move that could only be anticipated by somone who understood virtual symmetry, a concept that would elucidate the soulfull reflections of the rather confused Doyle, who was on the elevator to the 7th rank when the alarm sounded.

The literary metaphor of chess as an artifact of life, with struggles of the economy, and royalty, and chocolates, both light and dark, and of good and evil, and wines, red and white, and fine and not so fine, and of loyalty and deceipt, and of integrity and illicit scheme, and of passion and despite, would all come to this, the final mate, the death of the king.
The end.

Our appreciation to RHP Members for their active readership and kind comments... and with heartfelt thanks to Coquette and Great Big Stees.
