When the King is checked, or any valuable Piece in danger from the attack of an enemy, you are said to interpose a man when you play it between the attacked and attacking Piece.

Whoever sees no other aim in the game than that of giving checkmate to one's opponent will never become a good Chess player.

I remember having an argument with Alan, I said the Queen's not just going to call the guy up and send him out to do it. And Alan says, well, how would a monarch give orders to her assassin.

My role as king will be much like my mum's as queen, so long as I remain in tune with the people.

For touching an adversary's man, when it cannot be captured, the offender must move his King.

The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.

As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.

Sure, I'd take the responsibility of queen any day.

I've nothing against the Queen personally. I had lunch at the Palace once upon a time.

I have absolutely no difficulty myself with the playing of God Save the Queen in the presence of Her Majesty.
