My opponents today are the wood nymphs

I am quietly confident that I will win all my games

Tomorrow I will be playing the three pianos

They have never played chess before

So I can only guess at their standard

I then have three rest days on your southern beaches

Before the second third and sixth colours

Face me again two months after our previous meetings

I am hoping to be at least competitive this time

As my previous performances lacked any real conviction
