Full regime
So many ways to blunder
I see where you're going
Letting time pass
Somewhere in the fifth recursion tree
Someone is probably thinking of something else
A champion losing his title
If you look long enough, they occasionally blink
Fights
Fights
and more fights

Enough chess for Julia and Jos
More of the same for the others
Orgy of chess
Chess until you vomit

Bad news from a referee...
Crepuscule
La Santa Cruz in its pastel evening
and goodbye home, almost everybody's been a loser today!
