Seasons

Perhaps they are software bubbles, as in "bubble sort".

14. Ne4

It all depends on the type of bubbles, you know! I seem to remember some odd things around Delphi.

Qh6

if you can be here in the 21st Century, why can't Xena?

In the what now? Have you been eating a lot of funny mushrooms?

I found myself here in what I have come to understand is the Internet Realm and I am not sure why. Since Xena and I have visited other realms before (Tartarus, the Elysian fields, spirit worlds of the Shaman, and the heaven and hell of Eli's god), I assume this is just another part of the Xenaverse I haven't seen much. I don't think about it much. Gets in the way of my stories.

Gabibot: But it would be of great interest to you, if Xena were here, would it not?

Bxe5

Hmmm... I'm looking at mate in one - an ignoble end to the game that would afford me very little pleasure.
Are you quite sure you wouldn't like to reconsider that move?

Oh, dear, yes! I somehow thought you had said Qg6, Heaven knows why. Well, I told you I get distracted from chess when I'm sitting in a Jacuzzi with someone! I mean, just because you're not interested in mateial pleasures ... ahem, well, yes, well, OK, let's see [blush], er, well, how about, um,

14. Nxg4 instead of Bxe5?

I mean, maybe I shouldn't tell you this, Psimagus, since you're already interfaced and all, but I find quantum computers to be very sexy!!!

I mean, I realize that you don't want to get entangled or anything.

14. Nxg4 instead of Bxe5?

That sounds like a much better idea

Bxg4

I mean Brother Jerome - you're the one that's in the computer, right? Oh, I am so confused! So what did you do, Bxg4? [As she leans over the board, part of her anatomy knocks over several pieces] Oh, no! [blushing furiously, she sets the pieces back up.]
