6	53	I felt sorry for the girl, a helpless pawn in this sorry man's game of empire, and the tiny animal noises she uttered moved me to pity.	10
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.	10
15	123	"Do not interrupt the game," commanded Marlenus.	10
15	126	Having recognized our presence, Marlenus, too, turned his attention to the game.	10
15	134	Let us now adjudicate the game.	10
15	141	"It is a weakness in my game," lamented Mintar.	10
15	148	"An absorbing game," said Marlenus, almost absent-mindedly.	10
15	149	"To some men this game is music and women.	10
15	168	"The young tarnsman plays the game well," he said.	10
15	169	"And," I went on, "when Pa-Kur falls, the garrison will be divided, and a revolution may take place—" "Led by a Ubar," said Marlenus, looking fixedly at the game piece in his hand.	10
15	219	Mintar was idly arranging the pieces on the game board, first in one pattern and then in another.	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.	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".	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.	10

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.	10
15	64	With one last look at the Tatrix, the bird turned and stalked to the brink of that awesome ledge and, with a single snap of its great wings, leaped into space, its soaring shadow a message of terror to any game below.	10
15	99	"If it doesn't find game," she said, "it will return angry and hungry".	10
15	104	"If it doesn't find game," she asked, "are you going to give me to the tarn?" "Yes," I said.	10
19	54	No! We climbed to the second mine! How terrible those moments for the guards and Whip Slaves, to suddenly see, unchained and irresistible, the avalanche of wrath and vengeance that broke in upon them! Dice and cards and game boards and drinking goblets scattered to the rocky floors of the guard cham...	10
21	18	"Tal," I said to two guardsmen who crouched at the side of a fire, playing Stones, a guessing game in which one person must guess whether the number of stones held in the fist of another is odd or even.	10
26	118	But even so I tell myself that it is still I who move myself, and not Priest-Kings, even though I might move in their patterns; if it is their intention that I should demand an accounting, it is my intention as well; if it is their game, it is also mine.	10

7	85	At last I decided to force the game.	10
26	260	I wondered of the struggles of my own world as well as on Gor, struggles which over millennia had shaped the blood and inmost being of my species, perhaps conflicts over tunnels in cliffs to be fought with the savage cave bear, long dangerous weeks spent hunting the same game as the saber-toothed ti...	10
26	300	Now, undoubtedly realizing her game was known, she covered her eyes with her hands and sank weeping to her knees behind the heavy transparent plastic partition.	10

2	100	It is an instinct of the mother, sensing the birth, to deliver the young animal in the vicinity of game.	10
5	4	Here and there children ran between the wheels, playing with a cork ball and quiva, the object of the game being to strike the thrown ball.	10
26	11	There were also, in the city, of course, hundreds of kaiila, though the main body of such mounts was outside the city, where game could be driven to them with greater ease.	10

Book 5. (97 results) Assassin of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	28	I have suspected that chess, with its fascinating history and development, as played on Earth, may actually have derived from a common ancestor with the Gorean game, both of them perhaps tracing their lineage to some long-forgotten game, perhaps the draughts of Egypt or some primitive board game of ...	10
3	29	It might be mentioned that the game, as I shall speak of it, for in Gorean it has no other designation, is extremely popular on Gor, and even children find among their playthings the pieces of the game; there are numerous clubs and competitions among various castes and cylinders; careful records of ...	10
3	19	"Game! Game!" I heard, and quickly shook my head, driving away the memories of Ar, and of the girl once known, always loved.	10
3	36	They are men who commonly have an extraordinary aptitude for the game but beyond this men who have become drunk on it, men lost in the subtle, abstract liquors of variation, pattern and victory, men who live for the game, who want it and need it as other men might want gold, or others power and wome...	10
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...	10
3	39	Further, in order to gain Players, the master, if wise, occasionally loses a game, which is expensive at the normal odds; and the game must be lost subtly, that the amateur must believe he has won.	10
15	370	It was rather late in the evening, but Cernus had remained long at table, playing game after game with Caprus the Scribe.	10
17	761	"The game! The game!" "You are only a woman," I reminded her.	10
17	763	"The game! The game!" Reluctantly I began to put out the pieces again.	10
20	423	I had sensed the marvelous raw power of Sura, her amazing, almost intuitive grasp of the game; and I wondered of Hup, who could be the father of so brilliant a boy as Scormus of Ar; perhaps Hup, the Fool, was no stranger to the game; I looked to one side and saw Qualius of Ar, the blind Player; unno...	10
3	1	The Game When I deemed it wise to depart from Vella, I knotted her yellow slave livery about her neck and cried out, "Begone, Slave!" and then slapped my hands together at which juncture she let forth a howl as though she had been struck, and then, blubbering hysterically and crying out, she scrambl...	10
3	20	The word actually cried was "Kaissa," which is Gorean for "Game".	10
3	21	It is a general term, but when used without qualification, it stands for only one game.	10
3	22	The man who called out wore a robe of checkered red and yellow squares, and the game board, of similar squares, with ten ranks and ten files, giving a hundred squares, hung over his back; slung over his left shoulder, as a warrior wears a sword, was a leather bag containing the pieces, twenty to a s...	10
3	23	The object of the game is the capture of the opponent's Home Stone.	10
3	25	The affinities of this game with chess are, I am confident, more than incidental.	10
3	33	He was a man who would be respected by all the castes in Ar; he was a man who would be recognized, most likely, not only by every urchin wild in the streets of the city but by the Ubar as well; he was a Player, a professional, one who earned his living through the game.	10
3	35	They are made up of men from various castes who often have little in common but the game, but that is more than enough.	10
3	41	Those who play the game for money have a hard lot, for the market is a buyer's market, and commonly men will play with them only on terms much to their satisfaction.	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.	10
3	44	It seemed to me that men should pay a tarn disk of gold just to be permitted to watch such a master play, but such were not the economic realities of the game.	10
3	49	Many of the Players dreamed of the day they might be nominated for intercity competitions at the Fairs of the Sardar, for a victor in the Sardar Fairs earns enough to keep himself, and well, for years, which he then would devote to the deeper study of the game.	10
3	50	There is also some money for the masters in the annotation of games, printed on large boards near the Central Cylinder, in the preparation or editing of scrolls on the game, and in the providing of instruction for those who would improve their skills.	10
3	56	"Game!" I heard, an answering cry, and a fat fellow, of the Caste of Vintners, puffing and bright eyed, wearing a white tunic with a representation in green cloth of leaves about the collar and down the sleeves of the garment, stepped forth from a doorway.	10
3	60	I was surprised, and looked more closely, as the Vintner took the wallet filled with game pieces from the man's shoulder and began, with his stubby fingers, to quickly arrange the pieces.	10
3	91	That a slave should play is regarded as an insult to free men, and an insult to the game.	10
3	99	And further, having the first move, he would probably be able to carry the initiative of the aggressor several moves into the game, perhaps to the conclusion.	10
3	107	In the prospect of a game, Goreans tend to forget the distances, amenities and trepidations of more sober moments.	10
3	124	It seemed reasonably clear to me, at that point, that the Player had made a presumably weaker move in order to prejudice the game against himself, a move which could be defended, however, on the grounds that certain authorities favored it.	10
3	126	When I saw the excitement of the Vintner and the calm, stoic placidity of the Player I felt sad, for I recognized, as did several of the others, that this game, expensive though it might be, was to be the Vintner's.	10
3	128	He was actually quite skilled, and would have played well among even gifted Goreans, to whom the game is almost second nature, but he was not of Player caliber, by far.	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.	10
3	136	The Vintner, of course, seemed to give no heed to anything but the game.	10
3	141	All eyes turned to the Player and he put his head down for a moment, apparently reconstructing the game from memory, through all of its better than forty moves to that point, and then he smiled.	10
3	148	Finally it grew late in the end game and it would be but a matter of four or five moves and the Player's Home Stone must be lost.	10
3	149	The Vintner had taken his three-move option late in the game to build up an incredibly devastating attack.	10
3	174	Such a move was utterly unrelated to the game.	10
3	176	He was subject to one of the most devastating attacks that could be mounted in the game.	10
3	188	"Do you wish to reconsider your last move?" he asked, offering a rare concession among players of the game, and one I had never expected the Vintner, from what I had seen of him, to offer.	10
3	214	The Vintner was picking up the pieces and putting them back in the leather game bag, which he then slung about the man's shoulder.	10
3	222	As he did so I heard some of the bystanders, the Saddle Maker and the fellow who was the Tarn Keeper, he who wore the patch of the Greens, discussing the game.	10
3	246	He then turned away, and began to grope his way from the place of the game.	10
4	29	I had spent the night following the game in an inn, had washed away the mark and this morning, early, when I had arisen, had placed it again on my forehead.	10
4	44	It was a dangerous game.	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.	10
6	9	I glanced at the game board.	10
6	10	Cernus had paid me little attention, being absorbed in the game.	10
6	12	Judging from the pieces and positions it appeared to be late in the middle game.	10
6	103	"Capture of Home Stone," announced Cernus, moving his First Tarnsman to Ubara's Builder One, where Caprus had, at that point in the game, been attempting to protect his Home Stone.	10
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...	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.	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.	10
13	57	I knew this game of bath girls, as though they, mere slaves, would dare to truly flee from one who pursued them, and I laughed, and she, too, sensing my understanding, laughed.	10
13	195	Upon leaving the baths I encountered by chance the Tarn Keeper whom I had met briefly when observing the game outside the tavern of Spindius, that fought between the blind Player and the Vintner.	10
13	203	"I liked what you did at the game, when you gave the double tarn to the Player".	10
14	83	"He is playing a dangerous game, Tarl".	10
15	5	Cernus, as usual, was engaged in a game with Caprus, and had eyes only for the board.	10
15	65	Cernus had watched the ending of the dance, his game having been finished.	10
15	373	He smiled, and returned to his game.	10
15	375	Cernus listened, and once again turned to his game.	10
15	398	Cernus did not look up from his game.	10
15	409	"Do not disturb the game," said Caprus to Portus.	10
15	422	Caprus studied the board for a moment and then, with an exasperated laugh, tipped his own Ubar, conceding the board and game.	10
15	423	Cernus now, while Caprus replaced the pieces of the game, regarded Portus.	10
16	29	There are processions in the city that day, and songfests, and tournaments of the game, and recitations by poets, and contests and exhibitions.	10
17	228	Processions took place on the bridges; there were tournaments of the game organized; poets and historians vied in praising the day, each more ecstatically than the last; but, perhaps most importantly, holiday was declared, and great games and races were sponsored without cessation for the next sever...	10
17	372	Even Cernus looked up from his game and smiled.	10
17	729	"Would you," she asked, "teach me to play the game?" I looked at her, flabbergasted.	10
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 ...	10
17	745	"It is not often," I said, "that one finds a woman who is pleased with the game".	10
17	755	I realized, to my pleasure, if danger, that I had come upon one of those rare persons who possesses a remarkable aptitude for the game.	10
17	756	There was a rawness in her play, a lack of polish, but I sensed myself in the presence of one for whom the game might have been created.	10
17	765	To my astonishment, this time I began to see the Centian Opening unfold, developed years ago by Centius of Cos, one of the strongest openings known in the game, one in which the problems of development for red are particularly acute, especially the development of his Ubar's Scribe.	10
17	789	I had played the game often and was considered, even among skilled Goreans, an excellent player; yet I found myself fighting for my life with my beautiful, excited opponent.	10
17	842	"The game is so beautiful," she said.	10
18	1	The End of Kajuralia I leaped across the rouged square of silk, scattering the vials and beads that were the pieces of our game, flinging Sura to the floor, pressing myself across her body that she might be protected.	10
18	112	"He was teaching me to play the game," she laughed, "with such things".	10
18	140	I recalled instructing her in the game.	10
20	1	A Game Is Played "This," cried Cernus, lifting his cup aloft, is a night for rejoicing and amusement!" Never had I seen the customarily impassive Slaver so elated as on this night, following the sales in the Curulean.	10
20	194	The game would be a meaningless charade.	10
20	199	"Would you dare to contend with a mere slave girl," I asked, "one who has learned the game but a day or two ago, who has played but an Ahn or so?" "Whom do you mean?" inquired Cernus.	10
20	202	"Women do not play the game," said Cernus irritably.	10
20	210	"Have you dared to learn the game, Slave?" inquired Cernus, angrily.	10
20	216	Cernus would surely have no way of knowing that Sura possessed perhaps one of the most astounding native aptitudes for the game that I had ever encountered.	10
20	253	The other man who had entered with Hup was, to my astonishment, the blind Player whom I had encountered so long ago in the street outside the paga tavern near the great gate of Ar, who had beaten so brilliantly the Vintner in what had been apparently, until then, an uneven and fraudulent game, one t...	10
20	296	Through the entryway, rather angrily, strode a young man, perhaps no more than eighteen or nineteen years of age, with piercing eyes and incredibly striking features; he wore the garb of the Player, but his garb was rich and the squares of the finest red and yellow silk; the game bag over his left s...	10
20	308	"You have been brought here to play a game," said Cernus.	10
20	316	"The game will be an interesting one," said the boy.	10
20	327	"It is an insult to me," said the boy, "and to the game.	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 ...	10
20	447	"Do you tell Scormus of Ar how to play the game?" he inquired.	10
20	453	"I will give you two hundred pieces of gold if you can finish the game in ten moves," said Cernus.	10
20	475	The game continued.	10
20	484	"I am grateful to you for the game," said Scormus.	10
20	497	"You have a winning position!" Scormus' hand tipped his Ubar, resigning the game.	10
20	499	"The game is not done!" he cried.	10
23	40	About the room I saw some of the things with which we had played, the silk marked with the squares of the game, the small bottles, the vials.	10

1	44	Small straight bows, of course, not the powerful long bow, are, on the other hand, reasonably common on Gor, and these are often used for hunting light game, such as the brush-maned, three-toed Qualae, the yellow-pelted, single-horned tabuk, and runaway slaves.	10
8	14	I was not a rencer and, when possible, when using the bow, I intended to stand; indeed, it is difficult to draw the bow cleanly in any but a standing position; it is not the small, straight bow used in hunting light game, tabuk, slaves, and such.	10

3	324	They would not find Elinor Brinton easy game! Whoever they might be, she was more than a match for them.	10
7	176	In the two days since I had been captured, prior to our encountering the caravan, we had had only berries and water, and bits of small game, cooked by the guards and thrown to us in scraps.	10
8	796	Others faced one another, kneeling, and, with string and their fingers, played an intricate cat's-cradle game.	10
8	798	I tried the cat's-cradle game but I could not play it.	10
8	802	The northern girls, incidentally, were very skilled at this game.	10
8	805	"There is nothing much else to do in the villages," said Lana, who refused to try the game.	10
8	810	The object of the game is simple, to guess the number of stones held in the other's hand or hands.	10
8	811	One point is scored for a correct guess, and the game is usually set for a predetermined number of paired guesses, usually fifty.	10
8	813	I was quite successful at this game, and I could beat most of the girls.	10
8	927	A piece which was dropped was fair game for any.	10
11	1097	Such men do not care to venture creeping into the shadows of forests, pursuing scattered game.	10
13	168	Further, it would have been difficult for Ute and I to have placed the log in such a snare, and, besides, without a knife, and wishing to move swiftly, tabuk would have been heavy game for us.	10
13	313	* * * * Four days later, in yet another thicket, one afternoon, Ute requested that I set one of our snares on a small game trail we had found earlier.	10
13	358	"At the edge of a thicket to the northeast, days ago," said the second man, "we found the bones of brush urts!" "Yes," said the first man, "and, nearby, in this thicket, there is a small game trail".	10

3	203	Sometimes disputes, which otherwise might be settled only by ax or sword, are willingly surrendered to a game of Kaissa, if only for the joy of engaging in the game.	10
1	5	"It is your move," said I, intent upon the game.	10
1	18	The pieces, weighted, seemed tall on the board, casting their shadows away from the flame, across the flat arena of the game.	10
1	110	"In the game of worlds," he said, "we are not important".	10
1	387	"The game is yours," he said.	10
3	193	There, lost to the bustle in the tavern, oblivious to the music, sat two men across a board of one hundred red and yellow squares, playing Kaissa, the game.	10
3	194	One was a Player, a master who makes his living, though commonly poorly, from the game, playing for a cup of paga perhaps and the right to sleep in the tavern at night.	10
3	206	But they had between them the game, its fascination and its beauty, reconciling whatever differences, in dialect, custom or way of life might divide them.	10
3	207	The game was beautiful.	10
4	21	To one side, the Player and the fellow from Torvaldsland, with the ax, were still engaged in their game.	10
6	749	"Patience, too," said Rim, "is a characteristic of players of the game, and of certain warriors".	10
7	326	Elsewhere two girls, sitting cross-legged, were playing a cat's-cradle game, matching one another's intricate patterns with the twine.	10
7	328	This game is popular in the north, particularly in the villages.	10
11	9	"Would you care for a game?" asked Marlenus, indicating a board and pieces which stood to one side.	10
11	12	I was not in a mood for the game.	10
11	22	In the past year, in Port Kar, I had grown muchly fond of the game.	10
11	102	During her beating, and afterward, Marlenus and I had been engaged in playing the game.	10
11	249	"In owning a woman," said Marlenus, "as in the game, one must seize the initiative.	10
11	254	Marlenus played a savage game.	10
11	278	"You play a savage game," said I, "Marlenus".	10
11	289	"When does your game begin?" I asked Marlenus.	10
11	387	"You see," said he, "the game is already begun".	10
11	391	"Would you care for a game?" asked Marlenus.	10
11	400	I looked again to see the Ubar in his tent, his fist beneath his chin, regarding the board of the game.	10
11	630	"Do we not have a game on the board?" "Yes," I smiled.	10
11	632	I had almost forgotten the game we had scarcely begun, before we had heard the cry at the gate, heralding Hura's return of an escaped slave girl.	10
11	717	Marlenus played a savage game.	10
11	736	Marlenus' attention was again upon the board of the game.	10
11	752	He was lost in the game, his attention on the board.	10
11	776	"I must finish this game".	10
11	779	Her eyes were on the board, but I could see that she did not understand the game.	10
11	798	She did not play the game, but this much she knew.	10
12	53	He had played a savage game, crushing her, turning her into a slave girl.	10
12	128	He had defeated me, devastatingly, in the game.	10
13	168	There was bigger game in the forests.	10
14	250	Then he had invited us to his camp, and we had come, and dined upon his largesse! In the game he had devastatingly beaten me.	10
14	319	He had made me seem a fool, and had devastatingly bested me in the game.	10
15	209	Strung out in the march, perhaps eventually without points and scouts, they would prove easy game.	10
15	499	In the forest I was hunting game other than tabuk.	10
18	387	I recalled how she had looked in the compartments of Samos, so long ago, when he and I had addressed our attentions to the board of the game, and while Rim, then a slave, chained, had watched.	10

10	62	There are various forms of ball game enjoyed by the men of Torvaldsland; some use bats, or paddles; in the winter, one such game, quite popular, is played, men running and slipping about, on ice; whether there is any remote connection between this game and ice hockey, I do not know; it is, however, ...	10
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.	10
4	123	Scholars weight the pieces equally, at three points in adjudications, but I would weight the Ax four points in the early and middle game, and the Singer two, and reverse these weights in the end game.	10
4	137	People would be less used to defending against it in the end game; its capacity to surprise, and to be used unexpectedly, might be genuinely profitable at such a time in the game.	10

4	60	Interestingly, he had been eager to familiarize me with the game, and was abundant in his explanations and advice.	10
4	62	I had beaten him the third game, and he had then, delighted, ceased in his explanations and advice and, together, the board between us, each in our way a warrior, we had played Kaissa.	10
4	63	The Forkbeard's game was much more varied, and tactical, than was that of, say, Marlenus of Ar, much more devious, and it was far removed from the careful, conservative, positional play of a man such as Mintar, of the caste of Merchants.	10
4	65	In the beginning I had played Forkbeard positionally, learning his game.	10

4	134	I recalled I had, many times, late in the game, regretted the surrender of the Ax, or its equivalent in the south, the Tarnsman, when I had simply, as I thought rationally, moved in accordance with what were reputed to be the principles of sound strategy.	10
4	135	I knew, of course, that game context was a decisive matter in such considerations, but only now, playing Forkbeard, did I suspect that there was another context involved, that of the inclinations, capacities and dispositions of the individual player.	10
4	136	Too, it seemed to me that the Ax, or Tarnsman, might be a valuable piece in the end game, where it is seldom found.	10
4	197	We then returned to our game.	10
4	207	The end game had not even been reached.	10
4	208	The hall had been taken in the middle game.	10

12	216	It is a simple matter of contradictory signals, honey and gall, luring and stinging, a game, a girl's game, raising hopes, then dashing them.	10
2	1088	The beast had been on another scent, probably that of tabuk, a small, single-horned antelopelike creature, its common game, and, on its trail, we had constituted only a distraction.	10
3	183	Two men were playing, to one side, a board game, with tall pieces.	10
3	262	My captor did not join in the game.	10
3	268	The game of Girl Catch is played variously upon Gor; it can be played as informally and simply as it was in the camp of my captor, for the pleasure of his men, or it can be a fairly serious business, closely supervised and regulated in a sophisticated manner, as it is by merchant administrators in t...	10
3	275	Sometimes this game is played with the winning side determined by its catches within a time limit, sometimes, in more brutal versions, by the first city which secures the hundred women of its enemy.	10
3	278	Women from the conquered city, on the other hand, are not; they are kept; they are turned over to the young males of the capturing city; in the game in which the first hundred captures decides victory this means there is a girl for each participating young man, usually one he himself brought bound t...	10
3	279	Accordingly, particularly in the early phases of the game, the young males often devote their acquisitive attentions to those young women of the enemy city who are the most attractive to them personally, to those they would most enjoy taking home with them at the end of the day.	10
3	284	It is the signal that the game has begun, that the girl is now available, that she is now at large for capture.	10
3	289	Whether the slender, supple disciplinary device would be used often in the game depends much on the skill of the girl player.	10
3	296	Such an identification, in that it might affect the girl's behavior, she perhaps desiring capture by a particular male, might unfairly influence the outcome of the game.	10
3	301	Eta was skilled in the game.	10
4	498	I had delayed in the game for more than five Ihn.	10
4	541	Twice more in the game was I stung with the switch then, once on the left arm, above the elbow, and once, more cruelly, on the right calf, when I, wishing to make no sound, not thinking the referee near me, lingered too long in one position.	10
4	582	Did he not love me? I remembered his eyes on me, before the hood had been thrown over my head in preparation for my service in the cruel game.	10

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.	10
2	702	His play was swift, decisive, brilliant, merciless; more than one player had given up the game after being indulged, and then toyed with, and humiliated, by the genius of Scormus.	10
2	708	Once he had been bested by Sabo of Turia, at the Tharna tournaments, and he had wept with joy and embraced the victor, thanking him for letting him participate in such a beautiful game.	10

4	126	Also, it was felt preferable by many for a player to be able to decide for himself, under the conditions of a given game, the duration of his speculations on a given move.	10
4	149	On this board those in the audience would follow the game.	10
4	172	Some men had small peg boards with them, on which they would follow the game.	10
4	175	It is one of the most wicked and merciless in the repertoire of the game.	10
4	178	It is difficult to meet and in many of its lines has no clear refutation; it may be played accepted or declined; it would be red's hope not to refute but to neutralize in the middle game; if red could manage to achieve equality by the twentieth move he might account himself successful.	10
4	182	It is, in the eyes of many followers of Kaissa, easily the second most coveted crown in the game.	10
4	187	Most players of the master level, incidentally, know this opening several moves into the game in more than a hundred variations.	10
4	198	Indeed, there were even higher rated players on Gor than Centius of Cos, but, somehow, it had seemed that it was he whom Scormus of Ar must meet to establish his supremacy in the game.	10
4	207	He seemed bemused, as though he were thinking of something, something perhaps oddly irrelevant to the game at hand.	10
4	219	It did seem strange that Centius did not move swiftly at this point in the game.	10
4	255	Their occasional employment, incidentally, freshens the game.	10
4	289	He had chosen to make his treachery to the game and Cos explicit.	10
4	295	"They are asking for the award of the game," said the man next to me.	10
4	313	"Kill him! Kill him!" Guardsmen at the stage's edge, with shields, buffeted back a man who, with drawn knife, had tried to climb to the level where sat the table of the game.	10
4	365	The oddity in the game now struck me.	10
4	423	One of the men of the party of Cos which had now returned to the stage stood on the table of the game, the yellow Home Stone in his grasp.	10

4	486	He remained secluded in the tent studying by the light of a small lamp a given position in Kaissa, one said to have occurred more than a generation ago in a game between Ossius of Tabor, exiled from Teletus, and Philemon of Asperiche, a cloth worker.	10
4	489	After the game he had left the amphitheater.	10
4	537	The market had been slow, as I had thought it would be, and as I had hoped it would be, because of the game earlier between the Kaissa titans, Centius of Cos and Scormus of Ar.	10

6	22	Usually one spots game from the saddle and calls "Tabuk," which is the tarn's hunting signal.	10
6	23	I had, however, spotted little suitable game, and so had released the tarn to do his own foraging.	10
6	24	When the tarn takes game one may either retain the saddle or not.	10
6	729	Game must indeed be scarce, I thought.	10

28	35	They are usually poor fellows but generally have little trouble securing a night's food and lodging for a game or two.	10
28	36	The general affection and respect which Goreans feel for the game of Kaissa is probably the explanation for the practical immunity from bondage commonly accorded the members of the caste of players.	10

1	830	Samos did not seem to be playing his usual game.	10
1	853	Tonight, Samos seemed off his game.	10
1	856	It was unusual for Samos to invite me to his holding simply for a game of Kaissa.	10
1	859	Samos played well, but he was not an enthusiast for the game.	10
1	955	"You are not playing your usual game," I told him.	10
1	1009	"Let us stop playing, and adjudicate the game as a draw," I suggested.	10
1	1055	I won both games easily, the first with a battering ram of Spearmen and Riders of the High Tharlarion on the Ubar's side, and the second with a middle-game combination of Ubara's Scribe, Ubara and Ubar's Tarnsman.	10
1	1172	To be sure, Samos was not an enthusiast for the game.	10
2	166	Normally in this game the woman begins with ten.	10
2	181	In support of this interpretation are such considerations as the fact that these favors, in these games, are bestowed by females on males, that, generally, at least, strong, handsome males seem to be the preferred recipients of such favors, that there is competition among the females in the distribu...	10
2	182	In short, the game of favors permits free women, in a socially acceptable context, by symbolic transformation, to assuage their sexual needs to at least some small extent, and, in some cases, if they wish, to make advances to interesting males.	10
2	407	"A marvelous game," he said, rubbing his head, bewildered.	10
2	412	Perhaps I did not see everything he did!" "Try another game," encouraged the paunchy fellow, he who had been associated with the stage and who, it seemed, had an interest also in the Kaissa booth.	10
2	438	"We want them to come back! We want the board busy! That is how we are making the money!" The price for a game is usually something between a tarsk bit and a copper tarsk.	10

2	441	It goes to the challenger if he wins and the game is free, if he draws.	10

2	504	"I have another game in mind," I said.	10
2	754	In the game of Favors, of course, the favors are supposedly unique to the given woman, in pattern, material, texture, color, shape, decoration, and so forth.	10
2	755	If they were not unique in this fashion they could not act as practical counters in the game.	10
2	760	"It is interesting to me that free women play the game of Favors," I said.	10
2	767	To be sure, the game of Favors, like most games, customs and practices, was undoubtedly complex and multiply motivated.	10
2	1733	The game of favors can be played with any number of favors and contestants, but the usual number of favors distributed is ten.	10
3	28	"It seems I have won the game of favors," she said.	10

12	14	"Are you trying to put me off my game?" he inquired.	10
12	19	"I do not think the game will last much longer," I said.	10
12	70	Then with my superior, even overwhelming, advantage in material, it would be easy to bring about the conclusion of the game in short order.	10
12	75	Many players of Kaissa, not even of the caste of players, incidentally, know several openings, in numerous variations, several moves into the game.	10
12	77	In this way the game is opened and new trails, even if dubious ones, must be blazed.	10
12	78	If these irregular or eccentric defenses tend to be successful, of course, they soon, too, become part of the familiar, analyzed lore of the game.	10
12	89	Many Goreans are quite skilled in the game, and I had played with them.	10
12	92	He was the sort of fellow who did not merely play the game but contributed to it.	10
12	97	Too, he had an interest in the psychology of the game.	10
12	98	Once he had put a Ubara en prise in a game with me.	10
12	99	I, certain that it must be the bait in some subtle trap I could not detect, not only refused to take it but, worrying about it, and avoiding it, eventually succeeded in producing the collapse of my entire game.	10
12	103	Had I dared to take advantage of that misplay I might not have had to wait until now to win a game with him.	10
12	108	"The game is over," I informed him.	10
12	140	"I cannot so much as touch the pieces of the game without permission without risking having my hands cut off, or being killed, no more than weapons".	10
12	143	"Do you understand anything of the game?" I asked.	10
12	171	It is a stupid game.	10
12	202	"Do you wish to continue the game?" he asked.	10
12	214	"So that is why you would not comment on the game in the presence of the slave.	10
12	219	"With your permission," I said, "I would prefer to play the game to its conclusion".	10
12	231	After that the outcome of the game is a foregone conclusion".	10
12	264	Similarly, even if his Scribe had not been placed where it was, it would not have been rational in this specific game situation, though it would have been a possible move, to place my Home Stone at Ubar's Builder One.	10
12	285	If he did advance it in that fashion, promoting it presumably to a Rider of the High Tharlarion, to bring the Home Stone under immediate attack, and prevent me from advancing my own Rider of the High Tharlarion to Ubar's Initiate Nine, finishing the game, I would take it with my Builder.	10
12	292	The game was still mine! "Spearman to Ubar's Initiate Ten," he said, moving the Spearman neither to Ubar's Builder Ten nor to Ubar's Scribe Ten, taking the Builder.	10
12	330	"Among those who cannot play the game, you play very well".	10
12	355	"I wish that I had recorded the game," I said.	10
12	373	"Are you really interested in the game?" he asked.	10
12	375	"The moves in the game were as follows," he said.	10
12	377	There were forty-three moves in the game.	10
12	426	In originally looking at the papers I had interpreted them simply as a device for identifying or listing the games or game fragments.	10
12	485	Priest-Kings, as far as I knew, were not familiar with, and did not play, what Goreans often speak of simply as "the Game".	10
12	588	I had been fortunate enough to have been able to witness that game.	10
