[lojban] caxmati

[Yanis Batura <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

jbovlaste has the following definition for "chess":

caxmati
fu'ivla st. 4 by phma, borrowed from Russian (Why, by the way? 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.
