Well, I was going to read the comments and see if anyone offered any insights, but Falcon, you already had the answers in, and I saw the answer. Duh! Ok, maybe his week...<br />HenryHenryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-47912211295764473942017-11-11T22:06:26.644-05:002017-11-11T22:06:26.644-05:00Hello Falcon and all,

For me, the trickiest were where a "title" (king, queen, general) required a name (like those mentioned in the above comments; the various "pawns" also caused me some consternation. It was fun to match wits with this one, and I was happy to prevail.Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-18547779364870318272017-11-11T14:20:40.793-05:002017-11-11T14:20:40.793-05:00Hi MG,

I would say that the chess references were a bit of a ruse. Favourite clue was 1a - had me fooled for a long time.<br /><br />Thank you for posting Falcon and cheers to all,<br />MGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-31855980294227758252017-11-11T13:09:26.533-05:002017-11-11T13:09:26.533-05:00Good afternoon,
