I can check with your personal secretary about not scheduling so many audiences at a time, it felt quite a bit booked today. Malik suggested as he finished setting up his side of the board to his liking. There was one pawn he liked the most on the board, one that had a small chip at it's base, he liked how it had been worn smooth by countless fingers wearing over the marred stone, making it a nice indentation for a finger. He always opened with that pawn, and as such, he moved it into the position that he would take first. He set his glass of wine next to his dominant hand, in reach, and able to be savored as they gamed. This was a favorite pastime of his, and he worked hard to find ways to challenge his mentor in the game. After all, the game was a way to test military strategy and as such he had spent countless hours trying to learn each and every opening.

Now, I wouldn't presume to use your Fan Dance against you, but I believe, I may have recently thought of a way to counter it. I'd like to test that. And the game was off, Malik moving his pawn into position. The idea was to get his Queen side pawn across the board fastest, and then when the opponent Queen was sent to guard the King, the Rook could move into position to strike. It was a game of attrition -- Malik would have to sacrifice many pawns and a Bishop and Knight along the way, but those were acceptable losses when securing victory. At least on the game board, in life, Malik could never stomach such a loss of life.

I'll never be able to predict your strategies, I believe you do that on purpose, though, to keep your opponent unbalanced, unable to make a prediction, and your opening Gambit leaves too many defenses to try and use, it's a perfect accomplice to your play style, if I may say so, Sir.
