1
inserted text: maybe I will dress in black and white too…\\
2
inserted text: the match with the handicap he has decided is more difficult than he thought!!\\
?: go Frederic!!\\
??: he is crushing the turk!\\
bear: … shouldn’t he resign already? This is just a way to kill time after all.\\
bear: the boy’s handicap was too heavy after all.\\
3
wolf: this handicap… it will not only make the moves of your pawns slow.\\
wolf: it also has a greater problem with it.\\
wolf: a chess master normally uses some established tactics and his experience to derive his next moves.\\
wolf: therefore all his previous plays are all based on the fact that all the pawns can advance of 2 squares on their first move.\\
wolf: in other words, with such an handicap…\\
wolf: he let it go both the established tactics and his experience,\\
wolf: and fell into an adverse territory where he must create his moves and tactics from zero!!\\
4
kuro: if things continue like this, I will…\\
?: he is taking too much time to do the next move…\\
??: maybe he is reflecting on it…\\
reb: did he put himself in a corner on purpose?\\
reb: because of the strange promise he made me yesterday…\\
reb: hey!\\ what’s the meaning of this? Explain it to me!\\
reb: if it was just some cheap sympathy, then you have chosen the wrong person.\\
5
wolf: the turk world tour has been decided.\\ and you will embark in that tour with us.\\
kuro: eh…\\
kuro: I was happy, but…\\
kuro: I didn’t tell him.\\
kuro: since that time…\\
kuro: I was afraid…\\
kuro: and I didn’t enter in the turk even once…\\
6
kuro: you know turk, I…\\
kuro: probably I will fight together with you…\\
kuro: I decided…\\
kuro: to fight against him, and yet…\\ once again… I…\\
7
kuro: it surprised me and I entered in the turk without thinking… but in a certain sense I’m happy that I’m finally here.\\
kuro: but, who would come here at such a late hour…?\\
reb: you know turk, I…\\
kuro: I had the feeling…\\
kuro: to be in front of my own self.\\
kuro: you thought that you were the only one to which I was telling those things…\\
kuro: but I didn’t do it just for your sake, but for mine as well...\\
kuro: because I have to try to continue fighting in the turk, even if barely.\\
8
kuro: I’m sure that I will regret it otherwise…\\
kuro: because it would mean to take a step back.\\
9
kuro: I have to win in this situation…!!\\
?: that pawn…\\
??: I see! The turk’s aim is…\\
10
reb: what are you talking about?\\
?: that pawn is near the opposite extremity of the board right?\\ if it is able to reach the last row of the board… the turk should still have another chance.\\
fed: I have seen through that aim of yours as well.\\ however…\\
fed: I will attack first and put an end to everything!!\\
11
reb: does really things change if you continue to walk forward…?\\
kuro: to be honest… I have never won once with this handicap.\\
kuro: therefore…\\
kuro: I have to move forward in order to know victory in this situation!!!\\
12
?: he reached the end!!\\
fed: that bastard, he made it at the end…!\\
fed: he reached the end line with the pawn that can advance of just one square each move…!\\
?: it’s time for the promotion!!\\
13
wolf: it is the special ability of the pawn.\\
wolf: if a pawn reaches the innermost part of the enemy’s formation, it can be promoted into any other piece apart for the king.\\
under the board: the pawn reached the other extremity!!\\
under the pawn: it can transform into the piece you want!!\\
wolf: the pawn in the innermost row can evolve into the strongest queen…\\
box: pawn-> queen\\
wolf: and the strength of the queen is worth nine times that of a pawn!!\\
14
?: the tables are turned!!!\\
16
wolf: are we ready?\\
kuro: well… he still lack one person…\\
reb: hey wait a minute!\\
reb: girls have a lot of dresses you know!?\\
17
wolf: a clock artisan who is always late, that’s really troubling.\\
?: it was a brilliant victory!\\
??: as it should be expected by the turk’s driver!!\\
reb: hum…\\
reb: there is something that I want to show to kempelen as well…!\\
reb: the clock I have created…!!\\
?: rebecca! You are still an apprentice!\\
bear: so this is the reason why you disappeared from time to time!\\
?: it has a strange shape… are the two clocks connected?\\
?: it is not only simple but also awkward…\\
wolf: this is the first time I see something like this… what is this?\\
18
reb: a “game clock” to use in chess.\\
reb: every player has a set amount of time, right?\\ I heard that you use an hourglass for that, but…\\
reb: in order to have a tool that measures time in a more accurately…\\
reb: we need a clock which timer is stopped if you press the switch.\\ and in this way it is possible to measure the time the both players have taken in order to make their moves.\\
kuro: I was surprised when she showed it to me the first time.\\ because…\\
kuro: it is the same exact thing we use in my future.\\
19
wolf: … even if we don’t have the best possible people handling a show like that of the turk,\\
wolf: people with a fresh way of thinking are more suitable for it.\\
wolf: also there should not be any problem in putting together a shitty dog with a shabby bunny.\\
reb: his coldness is just fantastic… <3\\
above the artisans: take care\\ do you best!!\\
reb: hey…\\
reb: you have helped me a lot this time.\\
reb: …\\ thanks.\\
kuro: eh?\\
reb: …\\I said thanking you!!\\
reb: kuro!!!\\
20
everyone: kuro!!\\
reb: … what’s wrong,\\ do you have a problem with that?\\
kuro: no,\\ I’m also thankful to you.\\
kuro: I don’t know what will happen in the future, but…\\
kuro: the only thing I can do now is just to walk forward,\\
kuro: a step at the time, just like a pawn…\\
side: in the next issue a central colour and an incredible development!!\\
