Description
The black and white chess queens also approach the playing area.
Sophia groans "Well this isn't my idea of being allowed to play a game."
"Nor mine Your Highness." Benine replies.
"So is your husband any good at chess ?"
"I think he's fairly good. Yours ?"
"He says he is."
"That is not good news." Benine groans.
"You mean we could be stuck standing in the sun for hours ?"
"Quite possibly Your Highness. It won't be a quick ending and the other pieces usually sacrifice themselves to protect the queen."
"Oh great."
