Lola says, “What’s with this check mate? You’re not British.”

Interestingly the word checkmate is an an alteration of the Persian phrase “shāh māt” which literally means “the king is dead”.

Oh my, that’s a good one!

she’s reading “Chess for Dummies”

Maybe the book is “How To Win At Chess”.

My stats are 5/512. But in Chinese Chess I’m 3/0!
