| Sep-19-22 | | offramp: Play stopped today at 11:00:00 for 2 minutes.
The players stood in reverential silence, but they were allowed to ponder on the position. Unfortunately, at 11:01:45, one of the players (wild horses will not drag it from us!) realised he had left a piece in <en prise> and ejaculated, <GEET FARKS EEN BUMPS AN BOBS WI PANGS AN IS WEAZEN-PIPE!!> Great roars of laughter shattered the reverential silence, which can be excused on such a tremendous occasion. |

<MISEN BY THE YAMSTEAD STAY>
The ill-fated Ilkley Chess Festival (2022) has been abandoned. There was no play after the opening ceremony; there was a colossal deluge (of water) which left the playing area totally keechad.
Play was possible on the next day if wearing boots, waders, jodhpurs, jeans, rubber wear, rainwear, wellies & leather jerkins. Smokers were required to use upside-down meerschaums. But after a short period of play the arbiters decided to dispense with stumps owing to a howling gale. Then bad light and rain halted play for that day. The final day started early at 10am, and play started normally, but was interrupted by a team of grousebeaters, employed to rouse the players from their tables to observe the compulsory 2 minute silence for Queen Elizabeth. Then there followed the regrettable incident at 11:01:45, which has been described in detail. (See the report by User: offramp.)
After that enormity the festival was abandoned.
Gediminas Sarakauskas has been awarded the first prize mainly because he managed to play three games, and also he has the most foreign-sounding surname (he is some kind of Lithuanian). |
