The fair this weekend was a test of stamina. Stamina to cover many rapid fire acts and folk. Stamina to cover the food and drinks. But mostly stamina to endure the incredible humidity that followed the worse set of torrential rainstorms that hit the area all year. Lands and cities were flooded. Power was lost. Made Chessmatch a major challenge. And this year there were 2 different matches-1 each day.

The Saturday match. Queen is the white w/the Vienna defense. Brandon is black	Delia has a rough time at it with Latimer. And not in the good way.	It's ham vs-er actor vs actor. Will outshine Biancia	He once played Richard III
But Richard lost.	No sins to be smited today	The lad manages the huntsman pretty well	Against the King is another matter
Henry makes it a blood match	Two Hawks is just aching to kill their king	Carew makes quick work of Lady Gertrude	and outmatches this lawyer
No appeals pending	Latimer is a different matter though	Lt Ellis tries to take their king. But he's Magnus Krane...	...studly monster hunter
