    After yesterday's LB clues , incognito rekindles the fire to attempt CW.
    I wonder which one is easier to set. Yesterday's or Today's.
    Thank you Incognito for a happy weekend.

      Thanks, Paddy! I am sure you will not have any cause for complaint :-)

    2. Padmanabhan28 May 2022 at 11:04

      One complaint though. You cpuld have included a few more veg dishes for people like me!

    3. Kishore28 May 2022 at 12:45

      Paddy, you can duck the Peking Duck. In all other cases, either take the vegetarian version, or... as any shady joint would do, just remove the non vegetarian bits...

      You would have heard that revenge is a dish best served cold. But these dishes were delivered over a month back and took a long time to reach the table. So they must be quite cold and full of revenge...

      Not just a shady joint- my daughter had this experience in a 5 star hotel restaurant. Of course in U.S.where they don't know the difference!

      All the food is from a Chinese restaurant called Ug Lee Duck Ling by Chef Wats Coo King

    3. Padmanabhan28 May 2022 at 13:12

      Initially I thought it was a real restaurant in Bangalore until a more careful study revealed the chef- 'what's cooking?' or I should say who's cooking but Kishore!

      I put it in here w.r.to our discussion about minor powers,pawn etc about a week ago.

    3. cdrgani2928 May 2022 at 15:09

      Yea, Eco. Times also making the mistake of calling a pawn a man(ie) piece !

      Delete
    4. Col_Gopinath28 May 2022 at 16:22

      Pawn is a chessman of the lowest theoretical value,
      So nothing wrong there

      Delete
    5. Padmanabhan28 May 2022 at 17:21

      Yes,man is right. It is different from piece.

      Delete
    6. Kishore28 May 2022 at 18:03

      While there is no doubt that a pawn is a chessman, one may speculate whether a queen is a chessman ;-) Some people say, references to "Man" include "woman" within their meaning. Or should we say chesswoman... A very powerful piece no doubt, the only man in the cabinet as some described Maggie Thatcher or IG

      Delete
    7. Kishore28 May 2022 at 18:10

      Actually 'woman' includes 'man', literally and during gestation...

      There is an actual pieice named Mann/man in courier chess, which moves like a king but ofcourse can be sacrificed when necessary.

      It's like batsmen being called 'batters' nowadays as earlier we didn't have women playing batsman was fine.
      Everytime I hear the word 'batters' I feel hungry as it reminds me of Idli- Dosa batter 🤣🤣
