Jan 1: Knight to C4, Check!
Jan 3: Black King to C3, Check! (Exposing Rook to attack opposing King)
Jan 4: White Rook blocks...
Neither King wants to lose an officer at this moment. No exchange takes place. The Royals move pieces. Whenever in doubt, a pawn was moved. The sacrificial piece with the potential of being the most powerful officer is put in the line of fire. Black King shows its hand. White King sees the danger ahead - an offensive that will be vicious starting Jan 9th. White waves it away with the shrug of his hand. Over-confidence or gross foolishness? He revels in his advantage - he has control of THE Queen - the Prized piece. Black has a lot of pawns, flat-footed bishops, and knights. The board gradually starts becoming populated.
Jan 7: White advices Black to resign. Offers "palliatives" and 25% reduction in BASIC. Black turns down his offer.
Jan 8: Supporters of White advice him to resign. Tells him he's violated the Rules of Engagement. White declines, invoking the executive clause under the RoE.
Jan 9: Black knight advances ahead of pawns. White suddenly sees a potential threat. He advances several knights of his own. One move too many? The rules didn't suddenly change. He only invokes an executive authority as agreed by both parties before the game. Black is unpeteturbed. A pawn falls. Another. Several others fall, several under attack. Black is outraged and seems even more determined by the losses and pre-emptive strike. He activates bishops and knights in several other previously inactive portions of the board.
Jan 10: Players develop pieces on the board. Black acquires more pawns. White engages more knights and hides behind a colony of rooks. He also activates some pawns of his own. The board gets crowded.
Jan 11: Knights from both sides size up each other. Black pawns march into the faces of White Knights, but the officers sheath their swords under the King's orders. However, a weary piece from a previous unprovoked offensive strike by White Knights falls to the ground. Black Knights advance against the White Queen. A close examination of their formation shows they'll deal her a huge blow in 4 moves.
White King requests for a side bar.
Jan 12: The clashes between the Knights continue. The Rooks hold the position. Same goes for the Bishops. Officers of each King advices the other to back down. Nobody seems to budge based on the offers being presented.
Jan 13: Black Knights shield their "King". They take a recess in their offensive measures. They warn the arbiters that they will not be bound by whatever new rules White wants to make up again in the course of the game....
