Manali part 3

at my request , two rooms have been setup.One table was in the center of the Queen's Room, and the other table was in the adjoining salon. Curtains had been drawn to separate the two rooms."So that the players aren't distracted by each other," I explained. "And we would like the spectators to remain in whichever room they choose."Manali was playing the two greatest chess players in the world, and she knew nothing about the same, except what I had spent four hours teaching her. The big moment had arrived. She felt her legs trembling"In order to be fair to everyone," I said to first player, "I suggest that you play the white so that you go first, and in the game with 2nd one, Miss Manali will play the white and she will go first." Both grand masters agreed.While the audience stood hushed, the 1st player reached across the board and played the queen's gambit decline opening, moving his queen pawn two squares. She studied the board, nodded, and stood up, without moving a piece. A steward cleared the way through the crowd as Manali walked into the second salon, where 2nd player was seated at a table waiting for her. She reached forward and moved her white queen's pawn two squares. Now what she was actually doing was that playing both the players against each other...hahahaha...both of them realized that they were playing against another pro..the matches lasted for more than 6 hrs and then both gms offerd a draw and finallyyy Manali won all the stakes eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhaaaaaa..and me too..and enjoyed .......
