Details
10
3 119 To my surprise, the Player chose the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover Ubar Two, which seemed to me rather defensive, and surely cost him the possibility of a dangerous but promising counterattack, which would eventually, if all went well, culminate with his second tarnsman at his opponent's I...

4 403 Red controlled not one but four adjacent diagonals, unobstructed diagonals, each bearing on the citadel of yellow's Home Stone; the red Ubara threatened the Ubara's Scribe's Spearman at Ubara's Scribe Two; the Initiate threatened the Ubara's Builder at Builder Two, positioned directly before yellow'...
Details
10
4 216 We wished Centius to move the Ubara's Spearman to Ubara Five, so that Scormus might play the Ubara's Tarnsman's Spearman to Ubara's Tarnsman Five.
Details
10
4 211 The correct response, of course, whether the Ubara's Gambit be accepted or declined, is to bring one's own Ubara's Spearman to Ubara Five.
Details
10
4 378 It would also take three moves if he wished to place it at Ubar's Initiate One, or at Ubara's Scribe One, Ubara's Builder One or Ubara's Initiate One.
Details
10
4 165 The move, of course, was Ubara's Spearman to Ubara Five.
Details
10
4 168 We watched the large, yellow plaque, representing the Ubara's Spearman, hung on its peg at Ubara Five.
Details
10
4 213 Yellow's next move, of course, is to advance the Ubara's Tarnsman's Spearman to Ubara's Tarnsman Five, attacking red's defending Spearman.
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.
Details
10
4 379 He could place the Home Stone, of course, in two moves, if he would place it at Ubar's Tarnsman One, or Ubar's Scribe One, or Ubar One, or Ubara One, or Ubara's Tarnsman One.

4 477 His response to Ubara's Spearman to Ubara's Spearman Five, sequential, in its continuation, was now entitled the Telnus Defense, from the city of his birth, the capital and chief port of the island of Cos.

10
3 678 It had occurred on the twenty-fourth move of red, played by Philemon, Physician to Physician Six, generally regarded as a flawed response to Ossius' Ubar to Ubara's Scribe Five.

10
4 9 I was pleased; I had put her through pleasures which would have made a Ubara beg for the collar.

10
4 167 "The Ubara's Gambit!" called a man near me.
Details
10
4 183 Centius of Cos, of course, would also be a master of the Ubara's Gambit.
Details
10
4 203 That he had chosen the Ubara's Gambit indicated the respect in which he held Centius of Cos and the seriousness with which he approached the match.
Details
10
4 208 His right hand had lifted, and poised itself over his own Ubara's Spearman, but then he had withdrawn his hand.
Details
10
4 214 Red then elects to accept or decline the gambit, accepting by capturing the Ubara's Tarnsman's Spearman, but surrendering the center in doing so, or declining the gambit, by defending his spearman, and thus constricting his position.
Details
10
4 222 Had the hand of Centius touched his Ubara's Spearman he would have been committed to moving it.
Details
10
4 224 But Centius of Cos had not touched the Ubara's Spearman.

4 229 The two young men who had already picked up the Ubara's Spearman's plaque seemed confused.
Details
10
4 233 It was now subject to capture by yellow's Ubara's Spearman.
Details
10
4 243 Unfortunately for red, however, the Ubar, a quite valuable piece, rated at nine points, like the Ubara, has been too early centralized.
Details
10
4 244 Yellow simply advances the Ubara's Rider of the High Tharlarion.
Details
10
4 248 The move by the capturing yellow Spearman, too, of course, has already, besides capturing the red Spearman, developed the yellow Ubara.
Details
10
4 308 Centius of Cos moved his Ubara to Ubar's Scribe Four.
Details
10
4 345 The Ubara, of course, as I have mentioned, had been developed to Ubar's Scribe Four.
Details
10
4 349 Ubar Five would have been impractical because at that point the spearman would have been subjected to the attack of red's Ubara and Ubar.
Details
10
4 352 Scormus would place his Home Stone, of course, on the Ubara's side, probably at Builder One.
Details
10
4 356 It did, however, place his Ubar on the same rank with the Ubara, where they might defend one another.
Details
10
4 366 No major piece had yet been moved by yellow, not an Initiate, nor a Builder, nor a Scribe, nor a Tarnsman, nor the Ubar nor Ubara.
Details
10
4 372 On his seventh move Centius of Cos advanced his Rider of the High Tharlarion to Ubara's Builder Three.
Details
10
4 377 If Scormus wished to place his Home Stone at either Ubar's Builder One or Ubara's Builder One, it would take three moves to do so.
Details
10
4 385 On his own eighth move Centius of Cos advanced his Ubara's Builder to Builder Two, to clear Builder One for placement of Home Stone.
Details
10
4 386 On his ninth move Scormus of Ar, following suit, advanced his Ubara's Builder to Builder Two, to open Builder One for the positioning of the Home Stone on the tenth move.
Details
10
4 388 Centius of Cos placed his Home Stone at his Ubara's Builder One.
Details
10
4 402 Red's Ubar's Initiate controlled the Ubar's Initiate's Diagonal; the red Ubara controlled the Ubar's Physician's Diagonal; the red Ubar controlled the Ubar's Builder's Diagonal; the Ubar's Scribe controlled the Ubar's Scribe's Diagonal.
Details
10
4 405 The attack, of course, was not on the Ubar's side but on the side of the Ubara, where Scormus had placed his Home Stone.
Details
10
4 406 Moves which had appeared to weaken red's position had served actually to produce an incredible lead in development; moves which had appeared meaningless or defensive had actually been deeply insidious; the timorous feint to the Ubar's side by red with the Ubara and Ubar had, in actuality, prepared a...

12 64 He could not take it with his Ubara, of course, sweeping down his Ubara's Tarnsman's file, because it was protected now by my other Rider of the High Tharlarion, that hitherto, seemingly innocent, seemingly uninvolved piece which had just happened, apparently, to be posted at Ubara's Scribe Two.

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.

2 454 It was the position which would be arrived at on the seventeenth move of the Ubara's Gambit Declined, yellow's Home Stone having been placed at Ubara's Builder One, providing red had, on the eleventh move, departed from the main line, transposing into the Turian line.
Details
10
2 455 Normally, at this point, one continues with the advancement of the Ubara's Initiate's Spearman, supporting the attack being generated on the adjacent file, that of the Ubara's Builder.
Details
10
12 35 He must do something with his Ubara, now at Ubara's Tarnsman Five.

10
12 37 On my second rank, I had a Spearman at Ubar's Builder Two, a Scribe at Ubara Two, and another Rider of the High Tharlarion at Ubara's Scribe Two.

10
12 42 He had his Ubara, as I indicated earlier, at Ubara's Tarnsman Five.

10
12 56 He placed his Ubara at Ubara's Tarnsman Two.
Details
10
12 62 I now moved my Scribe from Ubara Two to Ubara's Tarnsman Three.
Details
10
12 69 His only defense would be the capture of the Rider of the High Tharlarion with his Ubara, at which point, of course, I would recapture with the Scribe, thus exchanging the Rider of the High Tharlarion for a Ubara, an exchange much to my profit.

12 441 "If, in a given message, for example, the notation 'Ubar to Ubara's Tarnsman Two' occurs, that could mean that, on the board in question, say, Board 7, the square Ubara's Tarnsman Two was significant.

1 1012 I moved my Ubara's Builder to threaten his Ubar.

1 1013 This movement of the Builder produced a discovered attack on his Home Stone by my Ubara's Initiate.

10
1 1050 This move attacks the center and opens a diagonal for the Ubara.

1 1052 I made the same move, matching him positionally in the center, stopping an advance on that file and securing the same advantages for the Ubara and Ubar's Tarnsman.

2 459 It would, in effect, launch a second attack, and one which might force yellow to bring pieces to the Ubar's side of the board, thereby weakening the position of the Ubara's Builder's file, making it more vulnerable, then, of course, to the major attack.

2 481 He then, imperiously, removed his Ubar, Ubara, and his Builders and Physicians, from the board, six major pieces.

12 45 If he should be so foolish as to bring his Ubara to my Ubar's Builder One, it would be taken by my Builder.

12 249 I could not move the Home Stone to Ubar's Builder One because that square was covered by his Scribe at Ubara's Scribe Four.

10
12 253 This was now possible, of course, because I had had to open that file, taking the Spearman from it to capture his Ubara, the move forced in the circumstances.
Details
10
12 263 I now began to suspect that what I had thought had been a rather weak, easily averted threat of capture of Home Stone, the earlier alignment of his Ubara and Scribe on that crucial diagonal, might actually have had a somewhat different, more latent, more insidious purpose.

10
12 284 I now began to suspect that the placement of his Builder on that file might not have been an accident, no more than the rather irritating placement of his Scribe at Ubara's Scribe Four.

12 303 I could not move the Home Stone to either Ubar's Builder One, Two or Three because of the coverage of these squares, all of them being covered by his Builder at his Ubar's Builder One, and Ubar's Builder One being additionally covered by his Scribe, that posted at Ubara's Scribe Four.

15 54 "What if she had been the true Ubara, and recognized you?" he said.

15 56 It would not be the true Ubara".

15 65 "But she is still Ubara," he said.

16 153 "And you further acknowledge that Seremides and the Ubara are traitors to Ar, and puppets of Cos?" "Of course," he said, after a moment.

10
17 124 Indeed, even the Ubara herself, it seemed, had reaffirmed that slave girls should be obedient and try to please their masters.
Details
10
18 12 "I would not keep the stripped, lashed Ubara of a captured city chained in a kennel such as this," he said.
Details
10
21 72 I made known my errand, that I bore a private message emanating from the house of Appanius for the Ubara.
Details
10
21 76 However, to their surprise, I was to be permitted to enter the presence of the Ubara".
Details
10
21 77 "That the message might emanate from a particular person in the house of Appanius, and presumably not Appanius himself, who would not be likely to have any direct business with the Ubara," I said, "was what gained your admittance.
Details
10
21 78 The Ubara would suspect, and perhaps even hope, from whom the message might come.
Details
10
21 96 That would save them putting her in their own bracelets, before conducting her into the presence of the Ubara.
Details
10
21 110 On the other hand, in Lavinia's case, clearly the guards would not wish to risk her approaching the Ubara too closely, even back-braceleted.
Details
10
21 174 "Certainly," I said, "in such a place, in the presence of such a personage, the Ubara of Ar herself".
Details
10
21 191 "'The majestic and beautiful Talena,' I said, 'Ubara of Glorious Ar.
Details
10
21 228 I wondered if the Ubara could be taught slave dance.

10
21 231 "'I should destroy this letter,' said the Ubara to me.
Details
10
21 237 I suspected that that letter was too precious to the Ubara for her to destroy it.
Details
10
21 258 '" I myself was wondering if the Ubara could be taught to writhe in chains, or to move on the floor in such a way, so prettily, that the master would not lash her for clumsiness.
Details
10
21 404 I was very much impressed with the wit and ingenuity with which Lavinia had conducted her interview with the Ubara.
Details
10
21 406 I had little doubt she had succeeded in deluding the Ubara.
Details
10
21 414 And I think not many would have cared to be that slave who found favor with Milo, at least if the Ubara were to learn of it.
Details
10
21 475 "I think she is a slave," said Lavinia, "but in the robes of a Ubara!" "Perhaps," I said.

21 481 "Apparently the Ubara is eager," I said.
Details
10
21 492 She was more beautiful than I had imagined! She was more beautiful than I could have dreamed! She was utterly beautiful!"

10
21 505 "Master knows the Ubara?" she asked, in awe.

21 507 "Does the Ubara recall Master?" she asked.

21 516 "Suppose," I said, "that she were not free, that she were not Ubara.
Details
10
21 520 "If she were a captured Ubara," I said, "and auctioned before Ubars, doubtless her price would be high, perhaps thousands of tarn disks, but if she were unknown, and only one slave on a chain with others, and it were she alone, the girl alone, only herself, so to speak, who was to ascend the block, ...
Details
10
21 545 "As you will recall," she said, "I had just been permitted to glimpse the beauty of the Ubara".
Details
10
21 555 This pleased the Ubara certainly.
Details
10
21 561 "'Surely the Lady Ludmilla,' I said to the Ubara, when I could gather my wits and speak, 'could not begin to compare in beauty with Mistress!'" "Again you were on dangerous ground," I observed.
Details
10
22 237 "No!" "Glory to Talena, Ubara of Ar," I said.
Details
10
22 239 "Glory to Seremides, first minister to the Ubara, high captain, commander of the Taurentians, to Myron, polemarkos of Temos, to Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos!" I said.
Details
10
22 503 Could she bear a message from someone in the Central Cylinder, say, from one of the many free women in the entourage of even the Ubara? Too, they may have remembered her from the theater, and from Aulus.
Details
10
23 267 "If it were, Seremides, and the Ubara, and their minions, could pretend it is still the Home Stone of Ar's Station.
Details
10
24 314 Too, of course, she had been similarly in contact with the Ubara, only in that role, of course, in a collar purporting to be that of the house of Appanius.
Details
10
25 336 Actually I thought Talena might bring that much, not as a common slave, of course, but perhaps in some situation of great dignity, as, say, a stripped, chained Ubara, being bid on in a private sale, perhaps by the agents of Chenbar, the Sea Sleen, Ubar of Tyros, and Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos.
Details
10
26 65 "Mistress is Ubara," said he.
Details
10
26 78 "And few," she laughed, "are even aware of the features of the Ubara!" "True, wondrous Mistress," he said.
Details
10
26 98 The Ubara looked at herself, in the mirror at the far end of the room.
Details
10
26 100 Sometimes I think that they have more freedom than I, that I, a free woman, indeed, one who is Ubara of Ar, am more slave than slave".
Details
10
26 104 The Ubara continued to regard herself in the mirror.
Details
10
26 156 The Ubara, moving very little, was still regarding herself in the mirror.
Details
10
26 166 "And I am Ubara!" said the free woman.
Details
10
26 168 "A Ubara, too," she said, "is a woman, and I have a woman's needs".
Details
10
26 170 The Ubara then, bit by bit, piece by piece, looking at herself from time to time in the mirror, the slave standing back, removed her outer garments.
Details
10
26 179 Milo had not had with him, I had determined, the note which had putatively come to him from the Ubara, that which had been written by Lavinia.
Details
10
26 181 Neither the Ubara nor Milo, of course, knew of the notes which they themselves had supposedly written.
Details
10
26 182 All communications between them other than these had been effected by Lavinia, to the Ubara in the guise of a slave of the house of Appanius, to Milo in the guise of a state slave, with the exception of their rendezvous this morning.
Details
10
26 183 With Lavinia as go-between, under my instructions, matters had proceeded expeditiously, culminating apace, save for some delays on the part of the Ubara, presumably to increase the anxieties of, and torment, the poor slave, in the arrangements for this assignation.
Details
10
26 184 "I wonder if I am truly the most beautiful woman on all Gor," said the Ubara, looking into the mirror.
Details
10
26 191 "And you, Milo," said the Ubara, "are a handsome brute".
Details
10
26 230 Too, almost simultaneously, he would doubtless suspect that the note which he himself had originally received might very well not have come from the Ubara herself.
Details
10
26 234 I myself, incidentally, did not think it impossible that the Ubara herself, in certain circumstances, might be so indiscreet as to write such notes.
Details
10
26 252 "It is I before whom you kneel," said the Ubara.
Details
10
26 334 "I am Ubara," she said.
Details
10
26 346 In the Ubara, it seemed, might be latent depths on the shores of which she stood frightened, and in awe.
Details
10
26 358 "Mistress is free, and Ubara," he said.
Details
10
26 361 "The Ubara of Ar," he said.
Details
10
26 456 "Talena, Ubara of Ar," said Milo.
Details
10
26 477 "The principle here, I gather," said Marcus, "is that the Ubara is above the law".
Details
10
26 488 "I am Ubara!" she said.
Details
10
26 489 "You were Ubara," he said.
Details
10
26 522 "Who would believe that once you had been Talena, the Ubara of Ar?" asked Tolnar.
Details
10
27 3 The new slave, the dark-haired, olive-skinned beauty who had but recently been the Ubara of Ar, was still unconscious.
Details
10
27 471 "Take the garments you wore here, and those, too, of the former Ubara of Ar".
Details
10
27 480 He pointed to the garments near his feet, which had been removed earlier by the former Ubara.
Details
10
27 496 "And do not forget this," I said, lifting up the small, capped leather capsule on its thong which the former Ubara had worn about her neck, which contained the compromising note, which had given her such power over him when he was a slave.
Details
10
27 594 "Hail Talena," I said, "Ubara of Ar".
Details
10
27 615 "You will then resume your role as Ubara of Ar," I said.
Details
10
27 846 "I shall be restored to the honors of the Ubara!" she said.
Details
10
27 849 A slave cannot be Ubara.
Details
10
27 850 You can do no more now than pretend to be the Ubara.
Details
10
27 855 Most, seeing you participate in state ceremonies, holding court, opening games, and such, will think you are truly the Ubara.
Details
10
27 885 She looked up at me, the former Ubara, now a slave, helpless.
Details
10
27 1017 "Do not speak so to a Ubara!" she said.
Details
10
27 1126 "I am the Ubara of Ar!" she said.
Details
10
28 54 They would rush there and find she whom they took to be their Ubara chained in place, as though she might now be no more than someone's mere slave girl.
Details
10
28 57 She would then, within an Ahn or two, be restored to the role of the Ubara, and perhaps even be seated again upon the throne.
Details
10
28 67 It would be something of a change for her, from the comforts, and cushions, of the Ubara's couch.
Details
10
28 78 Beneath the robes of the Ubara, in all their beauty, complexity and ornateness, she would be no more than my naked slave.
Details
10
28 80 I thought that perhaps she might, in time, tend to forget that she was now a slave and come again, on the whole, to think of herself as the Ubara of Ar.
