This year, I shall/will/am submit/ting a previous writeup of mine, a chapter from
The Art Of Insulting. I will not write it again here, because Redundancy is not my middle name (my middle name is Fantastic). You can find it
here.
You will need three actors - the announcer/commentator, White and Vassilyevich, and two chairs.
Notes on how to make it a play:
White and Vassilyevich are seated opposite each other on chairs, at the middle of the stage.
The announcer steps to the middle of the stage and recites the introduction (with comment).
Then he steps off to the side, from where he recites, in the style of a chess match commentator (i.e. very quietly so as not to disturb the competitors) the comments (in italics and in brackets).
Vassilyevich should have a Russian accent, thick as you can make it.
I will leave it to the director to decide how to portray White's resignation. Just one comment to the director: please don't fuck it up.
P.S. If no one on the cast speaks chess: Kt-KB3+ is pronounced "Knight to king's bishop 3 check"
