Gordon Freeman in the flesh. Or rather, in the chess tournament. I took the liberty of relieving you of your pawns; most of then were FIDE property. As for the knook, I think you’ve earned it.
The chessboard is in our control for the time being, thanks to you. Quite a nasty piece of work you managed over there. I am impressssed.
That’s why I’m here Mr Freeman, I have recommended your services to my e-e-e-e-“employers”, and they have authorized me to offer you a job. They agree with me that you have limitlessssss potentialllll.
