Furthermore as in football you need a special language to talk about it Here is a little course in that language Checkmate The object of the game is to checkmate the enemy king That is to be in a position where you are about to move one of your attacking pieces onto his square and he can't prevent it since he is unable to move into or remain in any piece's line of fire ONEIDif CAW06eSTERLING LIMITED TIME OFFER! to 41(t 1" I i 0 1 1 za 4 '11111---Iktio2 i ii I 1 11) lit ti ri 1 A 1 -1 i 4 ti 14 '4-1- 1 'tbi'''0 -) fin' 'i i --lt 1iN3'1 o-1 "41'' ''''f' 0 t- 1( 11 Iit '44 --k V' Istrt '''0 44 i 41 (4 '5' 40Lji i''1 -I'l 4 1 77 11 I i'''- '''t 10 ''4 40sX i i '1 Qi i 1571 A 4 f)P A 1'" I VA 1' i' -2-' ''''T' 'tot- i 47 07- so It 7 K4' ip I 1 4: 'i '4''''715' N- 1: '(: 1 -444044-t -1ii-: l' (11t Iiii -47 taat i-wl -'i 7 -4 0 iie I 1- f- i- 'i it 1-14 -I) 1:: tf 4 ''t -Q IA' 4'-' r' 1 fr' 725!
