“ohhh would you look at that, my pawns found jesus and now they’re all bishops”

“so i realize it looks like i’m putting a thimble on the board but actually my rooks have been using their downtime to build another rook, one that’s better, stronger, faster—”

“hey welcome back. while you left to get a snack, those six pieces you’d captured slipped their guards, tunneled to safety and emerged right in the middle of your royal palace.”

“oof, looks like you’ve got my king cornered…maybe this is a good time to mention that shortly before we started playing, my pawns and knights revolted and instituted a representative democracy. feel free to kill the puppet ruler that was the one remaining vestige of our tyranny, you cringing servant of the crown. vive la revolution!”

Honestly I can just imagine future Ankh-Morpork historians being so PUMPED when someone about a hundred years from now is going through the attics at Pseudopolis Yard and finds a box full of the letters between Captain Carrot and his parents, because Carrot kept every single one and his parents had the habit of replying to him on the back of his own letters, so they have years’ worth of both sides of the correspondences of an important historical figure –

– but then they curse him in the same breathe, because Carrot will go on for pages about the cutting of a specific mine shaft, but Disc-shattering political events will be mentioned in one sentence like ‘altso We wennt to Klartch and stop ped, the war and. I organised a foot-the-ball Match it was Very hot.’
