"You may surrender the woman, and withdraw," said Temenides. - (Players of Gor, Chapter 16, Sentence #1105)

The informed slave, perhaps once a free woman who has some comprehension of the game, may thus observe fearfully the careful processes that will determine her disposition; and even the uninformed slave, such as Bina, who in her fearful, agonized observation of the board may understand next to nothing, not even being certain often who is winning, may sense such things as the shifting tides of battle and the removals of pieces from the board; in both cases, of course, the reactions of the slaves, tied as they are, are available for the delectation of the crowd. The major reason, however, for tying the slaves in this position is doubtless that the game's stakes and their value, so prominently displayed, may be properly considered and appreciated. The player, and Temenides, of Cos, came to the board. "You may surrender the woman, and withdraw," said Temenides. "Temenides is generous," said the player. Temenides nodded, and then he said, "Cut down the woman, and take her to my place at the table". "No," said the player. - (Players of Gor)
