that will send data to a hospital.

There will be signal lamps, and

when one of them glows red,

a doctor will call you and

say:
"'You're ill'. 'Me? No!'

'Yes you are! You've been feverish

and constipated for 3 days. '

'We'll collect you in 5 minutes.

Bring your pajamas and toothbrush. '"

I won't have to worry about anyone?

The device will take care of it all?

Right. No one will

need anybody. -Can't be.

A doctor told me it's happening.

- Can't be! They don't know anything.

There, there. Calm down,

Fedja, nobody told me that.

I made it all up. Come on, your move.

Mladen, promise me something.

Promise. -What is it?

- Promise you'll go straight home.

The weather is horrible.

And drink some hot tea.

That device hasn't been invented yet,

and we won't know if you're ill.

So long.

Neda! Where are you? Is that

the way to welcome a guest?

A moment ago she was going on

about how you're never coming.

Now we're going to...

The first rule... The last

digit may be uncertain...

The second rule... several

digits correct... so...

The first rule... The last

digit may be uncertain...

The first rule...

Only so many digits...

I'll be right back.

The second rule... several digits...

So? -You know you could've mated

me only two moves ago? -Really?

Look.

You should've put your

bishop here, and the king...

I see. That's it.

New game? -Yes, please.

This is your place, sorry. -Never

mind. Just turn the board.

Thanks.

What's the score?

- Mladen is winning 1-0.

That's nothing,

we'll win. Right, dear?

Are you sure? -I am.

"There'll be bloodshed... "

I almost...

I give up. -It can't be!

We shouldn't have switched

the bishops, but it's too late now.

2-0, is it? It's going to be 3-0.

No, it won't! Right, dear?

That was an accident.

"There'll be bloodshed... "

Mate? -You're good.

Did you see that, love?

This is how he did it:

he attacked to separate

the queen and the rook,

to block the rook in the corner,

and then to attack with the knight...

Rematch!

Check him! With the queen!

Why the queen, love?

Isn't that the strongest piece?

It can move in all directions.

Correct, but the queen

doesn't enter the game

until the light pieces are developed...

- But... -... and castling done.

But look, the queen can check!

Attack, attack, don't let him rest.

Check.

Check.

Check. -That's the way!

Careful, he'll take our queen.

Put it back. Put it back.

What now, eh? All

that effort, and no gain.

We checked him 3 times, that's

good. And we still have the queen.

By attacking the queen, he developed

his light pieces and gained pace.

While I wasted time on fancy

moves, he got to control the centre.
