Dear Klaus, You said: A recapture! Your (East) camel (Ds) was captured by my elephant on space 16 and you want to do a recapture by your partner's (West) chariot on space 11.

Dear Klaus, I am glad my feeling did not materialize. I was very worried back then that you would nearly paralyze me with your big army near the center Quest. I knew the Tower move was a very low probability of success, but more an attempt at distraction. Anyhow, it may continue a good while now. I ...
