Dear Andre,

BN608 - 768 2P
N768 x N133 6P
Recapture? Only possible by the elephant.

Today it was snowing a little bit the first time in this winter. It's the first Advent. Many neighbours decorated the trees outside with fairy lights. A bit brightness in the dark of the winter. I wish you a nice pre-Christmas season, Andre!

[Andreloha]

Dear Klaus,

Yes I will recapture N133 with the elephant. Somewhat I feel you will surprise me with some moves I did not see. I love this game for this, so many possibilities, full of turnovers. Thank you for sharing these interesting and challenging moments.

I wish you a happy Holidays too. I am not Christian anymore, but I do enjoy the lights on trees with snow, etc ... actually Christmas celebrations were taken from the Pagan celebration of Saturnalia, celebrating the winter solstice. So Happy Saturnalia too!

Kind Regards
Andre
