Bo, the reigning champion, cried again that White's Pawns were not dispersed. Still squelched towards getting a decisive outcome, the Club in March set out all Berolina Pawns. Also part of full complement for both forces, there is Flamingo (1,6)leaper b7, Flamingo. Also Cannon d7 and Dabbabah Rider e7, DR_versus_DBT.

Dragon b6 the five-stepper, Elbow Bishop c6, Elbow Rook g5, Crooked Rook h5, Alfil h2, Gnu e4: N+Camel. All Pawns are Berolina.

If Rook moves, Elbow Bishop has path. If P-b4, Dragon. If P-d4 or P-d3, Cannon. If Gnu-e4 to any one of its fourteen(!) available squares, Elbow Bishop again checks King -- making Gnu move illegal too. If Dragon tries moving, Crooked Rook gets pathway. If Pawn-g1, Elbow Rook thwarts. King is unable to move because of the three Flamingo, Dabbabah-Rider and Elbow Rook.

Hurry up Bo? Locked and gridlocked again, the tournament was postponed until April.
