Is it a Russian game?) Definition by gdyke: x1 is a game of chess between x2 (white) and x3 (black). --------------------------------------------------------- Using this definition, it is possible to say the following: {mi se caxmati fi do} I play as white in a game of chess against you, playing as black. {mi nelci lonu caxmati mi} I like playing chess as white. This definition seems perfect for particular chess games. But how is the following translated: 1. I like playing chess with you. (- independent of color I play) 2. The rules of chess are rather simple. (- here "chess" means the abstract concept of the game). mi'e .ianis.
