Book 1. (14 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
15 117 In the center of the great tent, seated alone on cushions before a small fire, were two men, a game board between them.
Details
10
15 125 Mintar was lost in thought, his small eyes fastened to the red and yellow squares of the board.
Details
10
15 127 A brief, crafty light flickered momentarily in Mintar's small eyes, and his pudgy hand hovered, hesitating an instant, over one of the pieces of the hundred-squared board, a centered Tarnsman.
Details
10
15 154 "Look here," said Marlenus, reconstructing the board.
Details
10
15 164 "And who," I asked, "is the Spear Slave?" "Does it matter?" asked Marlenus, sifting several of the Spear Slaves through his fingers, letting them drop, one by one, to the board.
Details
10
15 171 He smashed it down on the board, scattering the other pieces to the silken cushions.
Details
10
15 219 Mintar was idly arranging the pieces on the game board, first in one pattern and then in another.

10
15 221 It might be well to remove the girl from the board".
Details
10
15 222 So saying, he picked a piece, the Ubar's Consort, or Ubara, from the board and dropped it into the game box.
Details
10
15 223 Marlenus stared down at the board, his fists clenched.
Details
10
15 224 "Yes," he said, "she must be removed from the board, but not simply for reasons of strategy.
Details
10
15 231 "And rumor has it," said Mintar, not looking up from the board, "that she pledged herself to Pa-Kur only that some tarnsman she loved might be given a small chance of life".
Details
10
15 268 "Even more freely," corrected Mintar, turning his attention again to the board, "but, you see, Pa-Kur does not play the game".
Details
10
16 60 At any rate, my plan for the division of the Home Stones had failed, and Marlenus, on whom I had depended, was, in the language of the game, neutralized if not removed from the board.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 19 It was rumored they used men as one might use pieces in a game, and when the piece had played its role it might be discarded, or perhaps, as in my case, removed from the board until it pleased the Priest-Kings to try yet another game.

3 210 The crowd and I cried out with delight, marveling on it, the now-apparent simplicity of it, the attack which had been not so much mounted as revealed by the apparently meaningless moves, intended only to clear the board for the vital attack, coming from the improbable Ubara's Scribe, one of the leas...

6 104 The Home Stone, incidentally, is not officially a piece of the game, as it cannot capture, though it can move one square at a time; further, it might be of interest to note that it is not on the board at the beginning of play, but must be placed on the board on or before the seventh move, which plac...

15 422 Caprus studied the board for a moment and then, with an exasperated laugh, tipped his own Ubar, conceding the board and game.

17 744 In less than an Ahn we had set up our board and pieces, and I had shown Sura the placing of the pieces and their moves, and had explained some of the elementary techniques of the game to her; in the second Ahn she was actually negotiating the board with alertness, always moving with an objective in ...

3 38 The odds are usually one to forty, one copper tarn disk against a forty-piece, sometimes against an eighty-piece, and sometimes the amateur who would play the master insists on further limitations, such as the option to three consecutive moves at a point in the game of his choice, or that the master...
Details
10
3 43 It seemed sad to me, that I, who knew so little of the game, could have so cheaply purchased the privilege of sitting across the board from such a master.
Details
10
3 57 Without speaking the Player sat down cross-legged at one side of the street, and placed the board in front of him.
Details
10
3 109 "Very well," said the Player, looking out over the board placidly, seeing nothing.
Details
10
3 131 Late in the game, the Player seemed to rally, and the Vintner began to sweat, and rubbed his fingers together, and held his head in his hands, studying the board as though he would bore through it with his gaze.
Details
10
3 132 No one watching was much impressed, incidentally, that the Player was blind and yet remembering each move and the complexities of the board.
Details
10
3 133 Goreans often play without the board and pieces, though generally they prefer them because then less effort need be expended on the purely mnemonic matters of keeping the pattern in mind, move to move.
Details
10
3 137 At one point, when the Vintner seemed hard pressed, I, and several of the others, noted that his hand strayed to the board, moving his Second Spearman to Builder Four from Physician Four, thus placing him on an open column.
Details
10
3 165 Every nerve in that old face seemed strained, as though trying to understand what might lie there beyond him in the darkness that was his world, save for the memory of the movement of pieces on a checkered board.
Details
10
3 166 He put out his hand over the board, and I grasped it, firmly.
Details
10
3 191 Mechanically the Vintner made the move on the board for the Player.
Details
10
3 194 "Do you wish to reconsider your move?" asked the Player, looking across the board, not seeing, but smiling.
Details
10
3 202 The crowd gasped and they and I, and the Vintner, studied the board.
Details
10
3 215 He then handed him the board, which the Player hung over his other shoulder.
Details
10
6 7 He scarcely glanced up from the game board at which he sat across from Caprus, of the Caste of Scribes, Chief Accountant of the House.
Details
10
6 9 I glanced at the game board.
Details
10
6 13 Cernus was well in command of the board.
Details
10
6 27 I heard Cernus announce "Capture of Home Stone," and turned to see Caprus sit back in defeat, staring at the board.
Details
10
6 28 Cernus began to arrange the pieces once more on the board.
Details
10
6 30 Cernus laughed with pleasure, turning the board.
Details
10
6 36 He turned again to regard the board.
Details
10
6 107 Caprus, soon after, carrying the game pieces and board, left also, but he made his exit through a door other than that which had been used by the slave and his guards, and Cernus.
Details
10
10 93 Cernus, as before, was lost in his game with Caprus, this time lingering at the board even long after paga and full-strength Ka-la-na were served.
Details
10
15 5 Cernus, as usual, was engaged in a game with Caprus, and had eyes only for the board.
Details
10
15 377 Again Cernus listened, and smiled, and then returned to the study of the board.
Details
10
17 261 * * * * Cernus, upon occasion, though Ubar of Ar, would return to sit table in his own house, where, as he had invariably done before, he would play with Caprus, losing himself in the movements of the red and yellow pieces on the large board of red and yellow squares.
Details
10
17 400 I saw that even Cernus had now looked up from his board and was roaring with laughter, the first time I had ever seen such amusement in the person of the Master of the House of Cernus.
Details
10
17 735 "Have you a board and pieces?" I asked.
Details
10
17 738 "Have you a board and pieces?" I asked.
Details
10
17 741 "A pen, ink?" "I have silk," she said, "and rouge, and bottles of cosmetics!" In a short time we had spread a large square of silk on the floor between us, and, carefully, finger in and out of a rouge pot, I had drawn the squares of the board.
Details
10
17 742 I put a dot in the center of the squares that would normally be red on a board, leaving those squares that would normally be yellow blank.
Details
10
17 767 "No," she said, studying the board like a child confronting something never seen before, something wonderful, something mysterious and challenging, a red ball, some squares of brightly colored, folded orange cloth.
Details
10
17 772 She studied the board closely for a few Ihn.
Details
10
17 799 I studied the board.
Details
10
17 802 I restudied the board.
Details
10
17 839 Then she looked down again at the board, that square of silk marked with rouge.
Details
10
20 176 "Bring the board and pieces," said Cernus.
Details
10
20 240 In the meantime Philemon had brought the board and arranged the pieces.
Details
10
20 351 Philemon indicated the board, and the young man went to it and took a chair, Cernus' own, surrendered eagerly by him, at the table.
Details
10
20 352 The boy turned the board irritably about, taking red.
Details
10
20 353 Philemon turned the board back, that he might have yellow, and the first move, permitting him to choose his opening.
Details
10
20 366 My champion was Hup, a Fool, that of Cernus was the brilliant, fiery, competitive Scormus of Ar, the young, phenomenal Scormus, who played first board of the city of Ar and held the highest bridge in the city as the province of his game, the master not only of the Players of Ar but doubtless of Gor ...
Details
10
20 369 Scormus looked irritably from the board at Sura, kneeling bound on the tiles.
Details
10
20 402 Scormus of Ar, I was pleased to note, regarding the board, suddenly eyed Hup warily.
Details
10
20 405 Without looking at the board Hup poked a piece, I think a Ubar's Scribe, with one of his swollen fingers.
Details
10
20 424 After Hup's second move Scormus of Ar had looked for a long time at the board, and then at Hup, who was devouring his pastry.
Details
10
20 426 Philemon suggested three or four counters to the position now on the board.
Details
10
20 433 Hup obediently started shoving the red pieces about the board.
Details
10
20 435 Hup cringed and, lifting his head timidly over the board, pushed a piece and darted away.
Details
10
20 437 Scormus was looking at the board.
Details
10
20 441 Hup, who was waddling about the walls, was then summoned again to the board and he hastily picked up a piece and dropped it tottering to a square, and went back to the walls.
Details
10
20 450 Philemon looked as though he might choose to reply, but thought the better of it, and glared angrily at the board.
Details
10
20 454 "My Ubar jests," said Scormus of Ar, studying the board.
Details
10
20 456 "I should have known my Ubar would not have perpetrated the farce he pretended," said Scormus, not raising his eyes from the board.
Details
10
20 469 Scormus of Ar was studying the board intently.
Details
10
20 476 Scormus would study the board and move a piece.
Details
10
20 477 Hup would come from somewhere in the hall, rolling, skipping or bounding, sniffing, gurgling, glance at the board, cry out, and poke a piece about.
Details
10
20 478 And then Scormus would again, head in hands, face not moving, study the board once more.
Details
10
20 493 Cernus looked at the board.
Details
10
20 505 He studied the board.
Details
10
20 513 "Begone!" cried Cernus, regarding the board.
Details
10
20 533 Cernus, studying the board, did not respond to him.
Details
10
20 537 "I have moved Ubar's Tarnsman to Ubara's Scribe Four! What will you do now?" Hup returned to the table and, scarcely glancing at the board, picked up a piece and dropped it on a square.
Details
10
20 542 I counted the moves, eleven of them, and, on the eleventh, Cernus cried out with rage and dashed the board and its pieces from the table.
Details
10
22 298 On a large board, against the dividing wall, on which the day's results were tallied, and lists and odds kept of the coming races, I saw them place as the winner of the eighth race Green Ubar, and his rider Melipolus of Cos.
Details
10
22 299 I supposed it had been years since the board had been so posted.
Details
10
22 311 I walked to the board, where men were entering the information.
Details
10
22 317 I saw men from the betting tables conferring, some of them then approaching the board.
Details
10
22 318 Odds began to shift on the great board.

14 482 If they came within two pasangs, I would board the Dorna.

17 68 But now I expected, to the surprise of attacking ram-ships which might attempt to board them, they would find themselves boarded, and their decks overwhelmed with swarms of armed, free men.

10
17 70 The common strategy with a round ship is to shear and board, because, normally, one wishes not to sink the ship but take it as a prize.

17 75 In effect, rather than do sea battle, they would attempt to close with the enemy and, via the rails and the grappling bridges, board her and fight what would be, for most practical purposes, a land engagement at sea.

11 151 Most masters, however, if inclined to board their slaves, would do so at the private pens, where the food and facilities were better.
Details
10
11 152 Another reason for a master to board a slave at the private pens, of course, is that she might, while there, be given training, or further training, that she might be a more delicious slave to him upon his return.

15 291 I had been kneeling before the board, ironing the tunics, which I would then fold and place to one side.

4 122 The Ax is a valuable piece, of course, but particularly in the early and middle game, when the board is more crowded; in the end game when the board is freer, it seems to me the Singer is often of greater power, because of the greater number of squares it can control.

22 5 I picked up the beaded throwing board and the light harpoon, and fitted the harpoon shaft into the notch on the throwing board.
Details

22 182 I set the light harpoon into the notch on the throwing board and, even mittened, an instant before the beast turned toward me, grunted, snapping the throwing board forward and downward, speeding the shaft toward the enraged animal.

10
3 366 Then, beside he who bore the standard of Ar, there stood one in the garb of the players, the red and yellow checkered robe, and the checkered cap, with the board and pieces slung over his shoulder, like a warrior's accouterments.

3 1304 From the platform, too, I could see the fair, with its lights and fires, and tents and shelters, and the amphitheater in the distance, where Scormus of Ar and gentle Centius of Cos would meet tomorrow, on the opposite sides of a small board marked with red and yellow squares.
Details
10
4 87 The table with the board was set in the center of the stage, at the foot of the huge, sloping, semicircular amphitheater.
Details
10
4 100 Indeed, generally the great amphitheater is not used for Kaissa, and the Sardar matches are played in shallow fields, before lengthy sloping tiers, set into the sides of small hills, many matches being conducted simultaneously, a large vertical board behind each table serving to record the movements...

4 180 In Ar, when Scormus had achieved capture of Home Stone, Marlenus himself, Ubar of the city, had showered gold upon the board.

10
4 186 He sat across the board from Scormus of Ar.

4 210 Centius of Cos looked at the board.

4 220 He might need this time later, when in the middle game he was defending himself against the onslaughts and combinations of Scormus or in the end game, where the contest's outcome might well hang upon a single, subtle, delicate move on a board almost freed of pieces.
Details
10
4 226 He looked at the board for a time, and then, not looking at Scormus of Ar, moved a piece.
Details
10
4 232 We saw, on the great board, the placement not of the Ubara's Spearman at Ubara Five, but of the Ubar's Spearman at Ubar Five.

7 59 Because of the closeness of the quarters, and the ships about, we could not be easily approached, and those who could approach us, actually attempting to board us, must, toe to toe, make the acquaintance of the warriors of Ar.

10
8 114 For example, knowing that a free woman is on board, and must be accommodated and protected, can adversely, whether it should or not, affect the decisions of a captain.

10
8 116 There have been occasions recorded when a free woman, usually one who has been haughty and troublesome, has been, by order of the captain, who is supreme on the vessel, simply stripped and enslaved on board.

Details
10
21 94 In this fashion each square of the board, with its name, such as "Ubar Five," and so on, would correspond to a letter, and some spaces, of course, would correspond to the same letter, thus providing cipher multiples.

21 98 Those keys on which the entire board appeared usually possessed complex, or even random, alignments, of letters, and several nulls, as well as the expected multiples.
