Long ago, in a far country, two men were playing a game of chess. Victory went to the player with the white pieces who kept his queen close to her king, while the the other lady wandered about here and there. Finally, the white queen left her husband and mated the black monarch.

Davnim-davno v dalekoi strane dva muzhchinov igrali v shakhmati. Pobeditel' bil on c belimi muzhchinami, kotoriy podzherval evo damu i korol' blizki, kogda drugaya dama khodila siuda i tam. V konetse belaya dama ykhodila muzha, i ubila chernovo korolya.
