16	1031	"Play, play!" urged more than one man.	10
1	20	In this way, his decision could take into consideration his opponent's early play, his opening, or response to an opening, or development.	10
1	35	These fairs, and others like them, play an important role in the Gorean culture and economy.	10
1	422	Samos then signaled to the musicians, who were seated to one side, that they should prepare to play.	10

1	1047	"Surely not merely to play Kaissa?" He was now resetting the pieces.	10
2	415	"He thought he knew how to play Kaissa," said the man behind the board.	10
2	442	This is because a skillful player, primarily by judicious exchanges and careful position play, can often bring about a draw.	10
2	444	Conservative players, ahead in tournament play, often adopt this stratagem, using it, often to the fury of the crowds and their opponents, to protect and nurse an established lead.	10

6	37	If a great deal is being made of the freedom of the woman in the play, as is not unusual in many dramas and farces, the brand is sometimes covered, as with a small, circular adhesive patch.	10
6	39	The covering of the brand, thereby suggesting that for the purposes of the play and the role it does not exist, or does not yet exist, is another Gorean theatrical convention.	10
6	137	"Let us see the rest of the play," said a man.	10
6	148	"On with the play!" shouted another.	10
6	173	"Get on with the play!" called another.	10

6	459	Boots, in effect, in the context of the play, had tricked her into placing her clothing at his feet.	10
6	497	All that she wore now, in actuality, not in the context of the play, of course, in which she was, by convention, understood to be utterly naked, was her collar, concealed by a light scarf, and a circular adhesive patch on her left thigh, concealing her brand.	10
6	777	"I must soon be on my way," said Boots to the Brigella, chuckling, trying to return to the play.	10
6	917	"She laughed! She lost her characterization!" "It is sometimes hard to keep one's characterization in such a play," I said.	10
6	1228	The girls, here at the fair, were not passing through the crowd with copper bowls, perhaps because they had both been in the play.	10

12	91	His play was normally exact, even painfully exact, and an opponent's smallest mistake or least weakness in position would be likely to be exploited devastatingly and mercilessly, but, beyond this, an exhibition of a certain brilliant methodicality not unknown amongst high-level players, it was often...	10
12	92	He was the sort of fellow who did not merely play the game but contributed to it.	10
12	104	Yes, he was sometimes a somewhat irritating fellow to play.	10
12	138	"Do you play?" I asked.	10
12	141	"You do not know how to play, then?" I said.	10
12	170	You are worthless! You are a fool and a contemptible weakling! All you do, all you can do, is play Kaissa.	10
12	219	"With your permission," I said, "I would prefer to play the game to its conclusion".	10
12	333	"Would you care to play again?" "No," I said.	10
12	402	Not only would the general level of play be inferior but much of it is outright gibberish".	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	568	"I think," I said, "that you could play in the same tournaments as Scormus of Ar".	10
16	143	It was invented for the purposes of the play.	10
16	313	In the context of the play, of course, the audience took her, like the others, for the free woman she was supposed to be.	10
16	438	"Look! Look! We are not collared! We are not branded!" These lines were quite acceptable in the context of the play.	10
16	439	In the play, as I have indicated, the collars were covered by light scarves and the brands by circular, adhesive patches.	10
16	440	Thus, in the context of the play, in virtue of these simple theatrical conventions, the slaves were understood as, and unhesitantly accepted as, free women.	10
16	987	You will play for her".	10

16	1038	"I do not play bumpkins," said Temenides.	10
16	1048	"I shall play you, but it shall be but one game, and upon one condition, that the game may be worth my while".	10
16	1053	"We shall play," said he, "not for the mere use of the female, but for her ownership, to see whose collar it will be that shall be locked upon her throat.	10
16	1057	It is one thing to play for a female, of course, for Goreans tend to regard such as fit for spoils and loot, particularly if they should be, to begin with, naught but properties, mere chattels, but it is quite another to set free males at stake.	10
16	1160	"Play," said Belnar, turning to the player and Temenides.	10
16	1162	"Play," called men, standing about.	10
16	1164	"Play," said Belnar.	10
16	1175	"It violates all the orthodox principles of opening play".	10
16	1179	"Similarly," said the player, "the more orthodox your play the more predictable it will be, and thus the more easily exploited".	10
16	1210	Rankings among players, incidentally, resulting from play in selected tournaments and official matches, are kept with great exactness.	10
16	1232	"I cannot play this man," cried Temenides.	10
16	1253	"I cannot play with one such as he," he said.	10
16	1254	"Play," said Belnar.	10
16	1261	"Play," said Belnar.	10
18	4	"Never have I seen such play," marveled a man.	10
18	26	Too, of course, his play had been brilliant.	10

3	2	"Who will play stones?" This is a guessing game, in which a certain number of a given number of "stones," usually from two to five, is held in the hand and the opponent is to guess the number.	10
3	856	Thus the "one" side is slightly heavier and, in normal play, should tend to land face down more often than, say, the "six" side, this bringing up the opposite side, the "six" side in Earth dice, somewhat more frequently.	10
3	887	"Larls" would be maximum highs, say, double highs, if two dice were being used, triple highs if three dice were in play, and so on.	10
