You swap the king not the queen.

Ah! But it confuses your opponent if you do it with the Queen!

Suggest you undertake those moves for her while explaining how each piece moves, while not doing it for yourself with the consequence her subsequent moves you probably do for her result in you being checkmated. Always helps learning not to be defeated initially.

Ah yes, I had to think about that. You mean "Castle" her side, but not mine, so that I do not win too easily, by accident.

I am off to watch Linda Ronstadt on BBC2.

"You and I travel to the beat of a different drum" ...

Well, the March 1984 issue of Wheelspin was a complete waste of money. Not a sniff of anything useful in there whatsoever.

And a magazine produced by a governing body (Spedeworth) that's little better than an amateur football fanzine.

Pfegh!

finally felt better from my head cold so got bundled up & went to a local car dealer to look at a used car. No one around, checked the door, it was unlocked so I was able to do a nice relaxed interior inspection. Forgot to pop the hood & visually inspect engine. it’s a legit possibility that this is a good replacement for what I’m driving now

Right, time to put the art stuff away and head off to the Land of Nod via the intermediate stations of Wooden Hill and Hot Bath. Am pleased to have finally finished this ink and coloured pencil drawing - it's been a challenge.
