4th weekend of faire was a beautiful overall. Although it started with hailstorms, it ended with the company of good friends. This weekend was my annual coverage of the Scarby Human Chess Match. A vigorous battle with the King, playing the white side, engaging in a game against Charles Brandon who has Anne Boleyn as his Queen.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

Oooooh! I thought royal guards were gentlemen?	But it seems she's no lady	Seems nobody likes Kit	And they're happy to show how they feel about him
Another flag on the field	Well at least he's not dead	Brandon is forced to take Kit's place	and Will proves to be a worthy adversary. He doesn't win though
Two-Hawks is a bit too enthusiastic of a game piece	Black Queen vs White Knight-best out of 5 touches	Anne's a formidable opponent	And combat has put her in a bad mood
Brandon is skilled enough to make it 2 to 2	But the Queen is triumphant	In the name of St Michael and St George, she knights him-Loser!	We still need to decide a victor
And poor Kit is chosen the King's champion	Poor guy. It's really amazing then...	that he wins
