23 99 Harold and I determined to appear to meet the Paravaci in the open—before the wagons—and then, when they charged, to withdraw among the wagons, and close the wagons on their attacking front, halting the charge, then at almost point-blank range hopefully taking heavy toll of their force...

10
3 124 It seemed reasonably clear to me, at that point, that the Player had made a presumably weaker move in order to prejudice the game against himself, a move which could be defended, however, on the grounds that certain authorities favored it.

3 141 All eyes turned to the Player and he put his head down for a moment, apparently reconstructing the game from memory, through all of its better than forty moves to that point, and then he smiled.

Details
10
15 86 To the credit of the men of Ar I point out that the races were more closely followed.
