Hi! It is Sarvesh.
            I will begin this story and then Hansini will be taking over from me.

            First off thank you for your great story, Shanti. We are enjoying this sudden revival of our letters. It makes it easy when we have some good stories to tell.

            On the third day we were at the island beach resort Hansini told us about a giant chess board she and Katrina had found. She had asked one of the staff and he had told her that the idea was for people to take the place of chessmen. He also told her to ask the bar manager for further information on organising such a game.  

            She had then approached the manager who told her that if she could find a team of sixteen people to be her chess “men” he would make an announcement that night during the show to see if there were any other groups who would like to challenge us.

            Now she came to the more interesting part where the manager said they usually play Grand Strip Chess. In this game, each player who was ‘removed’ from the board must immediately strip naked. At the end, the losing team must strip completely too, including the person directing the game.

            We were discussing whether we wanted to play this way when Hansini added more to the conversation, “I have already decided for you since we have seventeen people, sixteen 'chess men' plus me I have already entered us as the first team. If they can get another team together tonight, we will play tomorrow.”

            Well, that was an interesting surprise.

            “You didn’t even give us a chance to agree?” asked Lizamoa.

            “No,” she replied with a grin. “Is that a problem Lizamoa? I’m sure you don’t have any problem taking your clothes off in front of everyone.”

            “Well not really. You can count me in. But what about some others who might?” said Lizamoa.

            "Oh, I forgot," Hansini replied. “What about you Katrina?”

            “I’m Ok with it Hansini. It might be some fun too,” replied Katrina.

           That surprised me she agreed so quickly to join in, but then I notice since we had been at the Resort, Katrina had become a lot bolder.

            We were all at the bar for the second heat of the Beach Girl Contest, the heat my wife had signed up to be appearing in. She had been talking to Shanti during the afternoon and I had realised they both planned to be topless. This was sexy, even for her. I know she was here to enjoy and experience everything she could, so she decided to try this one too. Yes, I must admit I was happy to see her doing it too.

           Now getting back to my story, during the show, the manager announced the chess game. He described how it worked and then asked if anybody would like to organise a second team to challenge us. Soon one person called out saying he has a team but they do not have enough people. The manager then asked the audience for volunteers to join the second team.

            Surprisingly, a number of people put their hands up. I realised the problem was not getting enough people but rather dealing with too many people. They got all the volunteers up to the front and decided by lots, making sure to have an equal number of boys and girls in each team. This also had the effect of advertising our game that meant there were going be a lot more spectators the next day.  

            The following day we were all to meet at the chess board at 9:30 in the morning.  That way the game would be over before it got too hot. (That was early for some of us. But the first time my wife bared her breasts in public was something worthy to celebrate! Which some of us men did.)
             The guy called Donald, who had organised the other team, and Hansini were going to be the chess players. The rest of us would be the chessmen taking the place of the chess pieces on the board. While we were waiting for the game we met some of the other team.

            There were a lot of people there, as well as the seventeen people on each team there were around thirty or forty spectators as well. For those who enjoyed getting their gear off in front of other people, like Lizamoa, this was an unexpected surprise but for those like Katrina who were still not used to going naked in front of a lot of people, this suddenly became a bit scarier.

            The rules were simple. Each player was expected to choose who would be their King and their Queen but all their other players were decided by drawing numbers for each chess piece.

            Hansini said, “I want Mike to be my King.”

            So we all expected Shanti to be the Queen.

            “That’s a good idea,” said Steve. “Make Shanti the Queen. She is the bossiest of all of us.”

            Joseph added, “Makes sense for the bossy person to play the most powerful piece on the board.”

            “I’m not bossy,” complained Shanti.

            “Yes you are,” Peter joined in.

            Before they could say anymore and an argument developed, Hansini interrupted them. “No, Shanti is not going to be my Queen, Katrina is.”

            Katrina was smiling as she went over to stand beside Mike.

            I heard Amita say, “Good chose Hansini.”

            “Yes,” agreed a couple of others.

            We were all given hats that carried the symbol of the chess piece we were representing. We were also given a little stool to sit on. These stools were different heights to represent the larger and smaller chess pieces. There was a small amount of swapping of stools in each team until we all were about the correct height when sitting down. It was well done the way they had set this up.

            The manager was going to be an umpire and he had two staff to help him. One of those staff told me the manager decided to do the game himself when he realised there would be Indian girls getting naked. As my wife said when she heard that, 'naughty boy.' He called Donald and Hansini together and explained two more rules. First, there was no resigning; the game was to be played until Check Mate or Stale Mate. Secondly, in the case of a Stale Mate, both teams were required to strip naked. Then he threw a coin to decide who would go first. Donald won the toss and so he went away happy to start first. What Donald didn’t know was this played well for Hansini as she was happy too since she always liked going second anyway.

            Just before the game began we got the manager to take some photos of us in our positions on the chess board. Katrina wanted them, to take back and show her friends. Of course, we had to take them before any of us began undressing. When Donald heard why the photos were being taken, he suggested we mix up over the board as if a game was taking place and take some more. That was nice of him and I was happy they had some photos taken this way too.

            We knew this was going to be a good story for The Letters Book and so I suggested to Mike that since he was the King and he would not be moving around too much that he might be able to make some notes about the game. I had remembered to bring a small pad and a pen that I gave to him.

            He actually did more than just taking a few notes, instead going as far as including the starting positions of each person/piece and a complete record of the whole game. He had written down every move so it was easy for us to re-create the entire game later ourselves.

            Later, after the game, Donald came over to him and asked for a copy of the game as well. Mike wrote this out and gave it to Donald the following morning when we met him for another game.

            So now let me hand over to Hansini now:-

Hi everyone, Hansini here.

            Since I was the one directing the play they have asked me to write it out.

            On the toss of the coin, we had chosen second and so we took the black team. I had decided on Mike as my King and I don't know why Katrina was very happy to be standing beside him as my Queen. I put her there as one of the more safe places on the board. In front of them were the two pawns, Lizamoa and Sharon. Anyone who knows anything about chess will quickly realise that these two girls were almost certain to lose their clothes early in the game. I also knew they both had no problems about that either.

          So here are the positions for the start.

A8	Queen's Rook	Mandara	-------	A7	Pawn	Amita
B8	Queen's Knight	Mega	-------	B7	Pawn	Sarvesh
C8	Queen's Bishop	Joseph	-------	C7	Pawn	Brian
D8	Queen	Katrina	-------	D7	Pawn	Lizaoma
E8	King	Mike	-------	E7	Pawn	Sharon
F8	King's Rook	Jeevan	-------	F7	Pawn	Peter
G8	King's Rook	Mootie	-------	G7	Pawn	Jenny
H8	King's Rook	Shanti	-------	H7	Pawn	Steve

 The Game.

            When everyone had taken his or her positions on the board, we were ready to begin. It is a bit different playing chess with chess pieces being live people whom you know. You have to be careful not getting distracted by the players and concentrate on playing the game. Particularly when there was a lot of stripping going on. And I must admit, a few of the men on the other side were worth looking at too. Ha! Ha!

                    White                                                               Black

1)	K Pawn	E2 - E4		-------	K Pawn	E7 - E5	(Sharon)
2)	KB Pawn	F2 - F4		-------	K Bishop	F8 - C5	(Jeevan)
3)	K Knight	G1 - F3		-------	Q Pawn	D7 - D6	(Lizamoa)
4)	Pawn	F4 X E5	(Sharon off)	-------	Pawn	D6 X E5	(Lizamoa)

              The game started ordinary enough and like most games, the moves consisted of moving Pawns and pieces such as Knights and Bishops. When we were four moves into the game the action started.

            Poor Sharon, being one of my centre Pawns, she was the first to go. As I have already said we knew her and Lizamoa were in the most dangerous positions and were most likely to be taken early in the game. Sure enough, soon a white pawn was sent across to capture the square where Sharon was standing sending her off. She was the first person to leave the board and the first person required to get naked.

            She walked across to the side where she began removing her clothes. First off came her T-shirt, followed by her shorts. Then she was reaching behind to unclip her bikini top which fell away to bare her large breasts. A cheer went up from the crowd watching. Then with a grin, she hooked her fingers into her bikini bottom dropping it to reveal her shaved pussy as well. This brought a second cheer from the spectators and some of us playing the game were clapping too. After giving us all a view of her naked body for a moment, she sat down now wearing only her Pawn hat.

            Quickly I sent the person who had captured her off as well. My Pawn, Lizamoa, stepped forward taking him off and sending him to the side line to strip his clothing off as well. 

            I heard Lizamoa tell him with a laugh, “Time for you to get naked now. Ha! Ha!” As he turned away from her, she gave him a slap on his bum. I cannot believe she was cheeky enough to do that.

          “Hey!” he said, turning back to her.

          She was laughing and he laughed too.

            Well, at least the girls were having fun in the middle of the board.

            I must admit that this game must be one of the more interesting ways I have ever played chess. Even better than how we played strip chess back at Sarvesh’s house. Like I said before, the only problem was not to become too distracted by the people on the board in front of me and the stripping going on every time one of us lost a player.

            So now, back to the game; this was a very unusual and dangerous opening for white. I was at first unsure what he was doing. I began to think that either this player was a very good player using an opening that I had never experienced before, in which case, we were in big trouble, or he was a very poor player who had totally messed up his opening. For whatever his reasons he was leaving his King in a dangerous exposed situation. On my side, I now had an opportunity to bring my Queen into play earlier if I wanted to.

                    White                                                               Black

5)	QB Pawn	C2 - C3		-------	Q Knight	B8 - C6	(Mega)
6)	Q Kt Pawn	B2 - B4		-------	Bishop	C5 - B6	(Jeevan)
7)	K Bishop	F1 - B5		-------	K Knight	G8 - F6	(Mootie)
8)	Knight	F3 X E5	(Lizamoa off)	-------	Castles	King's side.	(Mike/Shanti)

            The next person to get sent off was Lizamoa. Again, since she was a Pawn in the centre of the board and we all knew that it was only a matter of time before she would be joining Sharon naked on the side line. She was wearing only her bikini and a cover-up so soon she had these off and was sitting beside Sharon, wearing only her hat. It was obvious she wasn’t worried about stripping naked the way she was sitting there smiling and laughing. In fact, I am sure that Lizamoa was happy giving her little show for all those who were watching.

            This was the beginning of a serious exchange in which I lost my Knight (Mega) and my Bishop (Sarvesh) while 2 girls left the board on White's side as well being a Pawn and a Knight. I know that by now it appeared that white was winning but it was at this point that I realised that as long as I didn’t make any serious mistakes I could win the game. Although I had lost more pieces than he had, I had my King safely protected while his King was still openly exposed. All I needed to do was drive his King into a corner and I could beat him. I am not sure that many in my team could see this as some of them had some worried looks.

                    White                                                               Black

9)	Knight	E5 X C6	(Mega off)	-------	Q Kt Pawn	B7 X C6	(Sarvesh)
10)	Bishop	B5 X C6	(Sarvesh off)	-------	Knight	F6 X E4	(Mootie)

             I think it was a surprise to Mega when she got sent off. Most of those in my team knew that I usually use my Knights a lot, so Mega being a Knight probably thought she would be safe, but the way this game was turning out I could see that my strength lay in using my Queen early in the game. Mega found herself peeling off her clothes before joining the others on the bench. After taking a guy of my opponent’s Knight, Sarvesh my Bishop quickly joined the girls on the side line. 

            It appeared at this point that white had a strong position with a Bishop that could take either my Knight (Mootie) or my Rook (Mandara) but in fact, he was prevented from taking either without leaving himself dangerously exposed to my attacking with my Queen. It was at this point I decided to bring my Queen (Katrina) into play.

            When I did, I could hear some comments of surprise from both my team and my opponent’s team. I also knew that this made Katrina a bit more nervous as well. With all these people watching I think she was the most concerned about losing her clothes, having second thoughts about playing, but of course since she was my Queen, it wasn’t my intention that she would be stripping.

                    White                                                               Black

11)	Q Pawn	D2 - D4		-------	Queen	D8 - F6	(Katrina)
12)	Bishop	C6 X E4	(Mootie off)	-------	Queen	F6 - H4	(Katrina)	Check!!

            In some ways, when I brought my Queen (Katrina) into play, it sentenced my Knight (Mootie) to death. This was unavoidable because I could not afford to waste a move getting him out of danger. So to the surprise of those on my team who knew me, the second of my Knights was now gone. By taking my Knight, white moved his Bishop into a more useful position.

            At this point, White lost interest in attacking, instead, he became defensive. His change in strategy was confirmed when I counted with my next move by Katrina which put him in check. His only answer was to move his King in front of his Queen, which restricted her movement. It also allowed me to take the offending Bishop and another of my opponent’s girls headed to the side line for her strip.

                    White                                                               Black

13)	King	E1 - D2		-------	Queen	H4 X E4	(Katrina)
14)	Queen	D1 - F3		-------	Queen	E4 - H4	(Katrina)
15)	Pawn	G2 - G3		-------	Queen	H4 - G5	(Katrina)	Check!!

            For the next few moves, white was manoeuvring to try to take my Queen. I think his motive was more than just winning the game because I heard him say to one of the men in his team, “I’d like to see that young Indian chick get her gear off.”

            Katrina heard him too and she had a worried look on her face, but as I said before, I had no intention for Katrina to get her gear off because she was far more useful to me out there in the middle of the board attacking white than sitting naked on the side line. Although it may have seemed to her that at any moment, she was going to get sent to the side line.

                    White                                                               Black

16)	Queen	F3 - E3		-------	Queen	G5 - D5	(Katrina)
17)	Rook	H1 - E1		-------	Q Bishop	C8 - G4	(Joseph)
18)	King	D2 - C2		-------	QR Pawn	A7 - A5	(Amita)

             For a few more moves, it looked like white was considered going on the offensive again when he moved his Rook to support his Queen but by the next move he had reconsidered and was moving his King out of the way instead. My next move brought Amita face to face with a guy from the other team, also a Pawn.

            I heard him say to her, “Well this is going to be interesting. Are you or I going to get our gear off first?”

            She replied, “The way things are whoever goes first will be followed by the other.”

            He nodded in agreement, “Looks that way.”

            Then to our surprise, he introduced himself. “I’m Jeremy,” he said holding out his hand to her.

            “I’m Amita,” she replied, taking his hand.

            Then Peter called out, “Amita when you finish fraternising with the enemy can we get on with the game?”

            This brought a laugh from everyone on both sides but it didn’t faze Amita.

            “Certainly Peter,” she replied. Then she looked up at my opponent said,” Donald please feel free to continue when you are ready.”

            “Thank you,” Donald replied. “Perhaps you would be kind enough to move over the side line and take your clothes off for me please.”

            Donald then called, “Jeremy you can capture Amita and send her off.”

            So in the event, it turned out to be Amita when white opened what would turn out to be the last major exchange of the game. She was soon peeling off her bikini to bare her breasts and pussy to everybody before she sat down on the bench joking with Lizamoa. I noticed that Donald was also checking out Amita too. I’m sure she realised this but she didn’t seem to mind. In the next move, I sent Jeremy to the side of the board for his strip as well.

                   White                                                               Black

19)	Pawn	B4 X A5	(Amita off)	-------	Rook	A8 X A5	(Mandara)
20)	Bishop	C1 - A3		-------	QB Pawn	C7 - C5	(Brian)
21)	Pawn	D4 X C5	(Brian off)	-------	Rook	A5 X A3	(Mandara)
22)	Knight	B1 X A3	(Mandara off)	-------	Bishop	B6 X C5	(Jeevan)

            Wow did that clean up the board. If I had any doubts about winning this game they were gone by now. It was just a matter of time until he was in Check Mate. As for my team, I think many of them were still unsure as to how the game was going but once we got into the next few moves I believe it became obvious to all on both sides what was happening.

             Of course, there was the danger here that he would get himself out of check by taking my Bishop and sending Joseph off the board but then I had Katrina to take his Queen so I was fairly certain he would back down.

                    White                                                               Black

23)	King	C2 - B2		-------	Queen	D5 - B7	(Katrina)	Check!!
24)	King	B2 - C1		-------	Bishop	C5 X A3	(Jeevan)	Check!!
25)	King	C1 - D2		-------	KR Pawn	H7 - H5	(Shanti)	Check!!
26)	Rook	E1 - E2		-------	Rook	F8 - D8	(Shanti)	Check!!
27)	King	D2 - E1		-------	Rook	D8 - D3	(Shanti)	Check!!
28)	King	D2 - E1		-------	Queen	B7 - H1	(Katrina)	Check!!
29)	King	E1 - F2		-------	Rook	D8 - D1	(Shanti)
30)	Rook	A1 - B1		-------	Queen	H1 - G1	(Katrina)	Cheek Mate!!

            Now white had the chance to stop us here in what I considered to be the most dangerous part of the game for us, but to my surprise, he moved his rook without taking our rook which opened the way for me to move Katrina into a Check-mate position.

            So the game was over and White had been Check Mated. We now watched with amusement as they all now had to get their gear off, including Donald who had been my opponent. Quickly shedding his gear, he came over to shake my hand.

            “ Congratulations, you played a strong game.”

            “Thank you,” I replied. ""You did well too."
            “That was a fun way to play chess,” he said.

            “Yes,” I replied. “It’s different when the chess pieces are all your friends too.”

            “Yes isn’t it?” he agreed.           

            Suddenly Shanti called out, “Let’s all go for a swim. Let’s all go skinny dipping?”  With that, she pulled her bikini top off and then stepping out of her bikini bottom headed for the pool nearby.

            Soon players from both side and many of the spectators too were following her. Those of us who still wore clothes were throwing them off until we were all in the water, totally naked. Even Katrina quickly joined in.               

            While we were swimming I over heard Donald and another of his group, David, talking about us.

          “I think that younger girl, Katrina is so hot,” David whispered to Donald.

          ”Yes she is, “ Donald replied. “I like her mother, Amita too.”

         “I think Katrina looks great naked.”

         “Yes she does and so does, Amita,” Donald said with a smile.

          I was rather amused at that little conversation. I wondered if Katrina knew she was being checked out by that young guy.

          Later, Lizamoa challenged me to one more game. I had heard she was good at chess but I had never had the chance to play her. Donald was nearby and so I asked if his team would be interested in another game. They agreed and so we arranged to meet at the chessboard the following morning.           

            This was the morning after the final of the Beach Girl Contest. There were even more people watching this time as word must have got around about the game. We divided our teams up so both teams were mixed up. Donald was happy to hand over to Lizamoa and he became her King. I took Sarvesh as my King and of course, Katrina remained as my Queen.

            I won’t go into too much detail about this game because we didn’t keep a record of the moves. But, it was a closely fought game and Lizamoa gave me a tough struggle before finally, I managed to Check-Mate her. By then, most of both our ‘chess-men’ were sitting naked on the side of the board.

            Of course once Lizamoa and her remaining three chess pieces had done their strip we all joined them skinny-dipping in the pool. We even invited the spectators to join us and many of them did again too. 

            So that was how we came to play another version of strip chess. I think I like this version much better than how we had played it before.

            Well that must be all for this letter.

            Mootie and I and all the India Team say good bye until the next time. 

                        Love from Hansini.
