ClubFloyd Transcript:
Anita's Goodbye by IlDiavoloVesteRosa
You Won't Get Her Back by Andrew Schultz
As played on ifMUD on July 24, 2022 July 24, 2022

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Anita's Goodbye written by IlDiavoloVesteRosa and You Won't Get Her Back written by Andrew Schultz. These games were released as part of the 2022 ParserComp. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages for Anita's Goodbye and You Won't Get Her Back.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

CF | In the darkness, you hear a robotic voice. "Hello... I am to believe
CF | that you are XXXX, are you not? You need not to answer. Unfortunately,
CF | as you know, most of the nerve endings of your body had to be severed,
CF | so I will guide you, instead. I will describe things for you, and you
CF | give me instructions on how to act. As you know, we are not in our
CF | original timeline, but in the alternate one where Anita is alive. You
CF | wanted to say goodbye to her, so I brought you here. Now hurry, as,
CF | ironically, we do not have much time. Start by grabbing your

CF | must lay down their lives so someone, anyone on your side, comes back

CF | anyway. Jacqueline says, "ha"

CF |
CF | > VERBS
CF |
CF | You Won't Get Her Back accepts commands in standard chess
CF | algebraic notation, which seems intimidating, but don't worry, you
CF | don't have to know the details. Also, you can use upper or lower case
CF | for your commands.
CF |
CF | You are a king, which moves you can move to any squares vertically,
CF | horizontally, or diagonally adjacent. That means if you are on f6, the
CF | commands SE, e5 and Ke5 would give the same
CF | result, assuming no other piece can move to e5.
CF |
CF | Of course, you will have to do more than move your king. If you wish
CF | to move a pawn, you can say pc7 or even just c7. (Pawns take priority
CF | over other pieces if both can move to the same square.) To promote the
CF | pawn, c8. To underpromote it, c8=b or c8b will do so.
CF |
CF | To move a promoted piece, qa8 will do so for the queen. Note
CF | that N is used to refer to a knight, as K is taken by
CF | the king.
CF |
CF | You can also say N to set (or re-set) the default piece to
CF | promote to, say, the knight. In this case, although K is
CF | usually the king in algebraic notation, K is referred to as the
CF | knight, since you can't have two kings on the board.
CF |
CF | After typing meta-commands (META lists these) or toggling
CF | options (you can list them with OPT,) typing L or
CF | LOOK lets you see the board again.
CF | You can see options for board display with OPT.
CF |
CF | All command parsing is case-insensitive, though standard chess
CF | notation capitalizes the piece name. This is just so you have one less
CF | thing to worry about.
CF |
CF | Finally, there is no UNDO or takebacks, because we want to
CF | mirror an actual chess scenario here. But don't worry. A successful
CF | run shouldn't take too long, so you should be able to retrace your
CF | steps easily enough.
CF |

DavidW says, "The rook won't be idle, but I'm no chess player."
Roger says, "if we move our pawn now, we'll lose it to the rook, yeah"
Jacqueline says, "Earlier this week, the Wordle of the day was 'TRYST' which is a word I learned from The 7th Guest."

CF |
CF | > ABOUT
CF |
CF | You Won't Get Her Back is my third text adventure based on
CF | chess. The first is Fivebyfivia Delenda Est, for ParserComp
CF | 2021, and the second is Fourbyfourian Quarryin', for IFComp
CF | 2021. That seemed about all I could do, where you placed pieces
CF | instead of making moves.
CF |
CF | But then after some discussion on the intfiction boards about chess
CF | and text adventures, I was alerted to Magnus Olsson's
CF | Zugzwang. It was part of a text-adventure April Fools' joke,
CF | but it was well-constructed and explored different possible moves.
CF |
CF | I'd already done the canonical three pawns vs. three pawns puzzle a
CF | long time ago as a sort of experiment, but I remembered one puzzle
CF | that would fit well. I didn't want too many pieces. And, well, I
CF | remembered one. I hope it's fun for chessplayers and nonplayers alike.

Knight_Otu says, "Right. Rook goes to c6 and threatens the pawn."
MoyTravis says, "Ah. Because he can pin & trade rook for pawn, drawing us."
Roger says, "the pawn can't move to the 8th rank because then it exposes our king to check"
MoyTravis asks, "King up first?"
Knight_Otu asks, "Do we maybe have to move the king "southwards"?"
Knight_Otu asks, "I mean, not now, but after the first pawn move?"
Jacqueline asks (of KO), "Wouldn't that be checkmate?"
MoyTravis says, "No, it wouldn't."
Jacqueline exclaims, "There I am: confused again!"
Roger says, "moving king to any of the 5 is currently illegal, yeah"
MoyTravis says, "Yeah that'd work, I think; because Rook couldn't move left because King would capture."
MoyTravis says, "And pawn threatens d8, so rook can't d8."
MoyTravis asks, "Except that it doesn't really buy you anything because rook can just chase the king up and down, right?"
MoyTravis asks, "The rook can trivially eat your turn by rechecking you?"
Roger says, "There's only so many legal moves here; surely we can brute force it, which is pretty sure how we got a white wife in the first place"
MoyTravis says, "I think you need to start with the King moving to b7, which swaps the turn order."
Knight_Otu says, "Hm."
Roger says, "I'm all for that"
MoyTravis says, "Except that rook can move to c5, which, RIP."

MoyTravis says, "That threatens the rook & the rook has to move either up or down, but it can't go all the way to the last row because the pawn threatens d8."

CF | PINNED PAWN: letting the rook pin your pawn
CF | CAPTURED PAWN: letting the rook take your pawn for free
CF | TRADED PAWN: letting the rook sacrifice itself for your pawn
CF | --
CF | SKEWERED TO A DRAW: letting the rook check you on c1 to

CF | Sorry, I couldn't parse that. Commands never need to be more than

CF | Kb7 and Kc5.

CF | piece can move to a square, and commands are case-insensitive.
CF |
CF | Also, a more comprehensive list of commands is at

CF |
CF | Finally, the parser does not recognize descriptive notation. If you
CF | don't know what this means, don't worry. You're probably better off
CF | not knowing. But for chess players who wish to do so, sorry. I

CF | You Won't Get Her Back accepts commands in standard chess
CF | algebraic notation, which seems intimidating, but don't worry, you
CF | don't have to know the details. Also, you can use upper or lower case
CF | for your commands.
CF |
CF | You are a king, which moves you can move to any squares vertically,
CF | horizontally, or diagonally adjacent. That means if you are on f6, the
CF | commands SE, e5 and Ke5 would give the same
CF | result, assuming no other piece can move to e5.
CF |
CF | Of course, you will have to do more than move your king. If you wish
CF | to move a pawn, you can say pc7 or even just c7. (Pawns take priority
CF | over other pieces if both can move to the same square.) To promote the
CF | pawn, c8. To underpromote it, c8=b or c8b will do so.
CF |
CF | To move a promoted piece, qa8 will do so for the queen. Note
CF | that N is used to refer to a knight, as K is taken by
CF | the king.
CF |
CF | You can also say N to set (or re-set) the default piece to
CF | promote to, say, the knight. In this case, although K is
CF | usually the king in algebraic notation, K is referred to as the
CF | knight, since you can't have two kings on the board.
CF |
CF | After typing meta-commands (META lists these) or toggling
CF | options (you can list them with OPT,) typing L or
CF | LOOK lets you see the board again.
CF | You can see options for board display with OPT.
CF |
CF | All command parsing is case-insensitive, though standard chess
CF | notation capitalizes the piece name. This is just so you have one less
CF | thing to worry about.
CF |
CF | Finally, there is no UNDO or takebacks, because we want to
CF | mirror an actual chess scenario here. But don't worry. A successful
CF | run shouldn't take too long, so you should be able to retrace your
CF | steps easily enough.

CF | Sorry, I couldn't parse that. Commands never need to be more than

CF | Kb3, Kc1 and Kc3.
CF | Note most of the time you can drop a piece's first letter if only one

CF | "We've been here before, haven't we? Just approached things from a

CF | The rook zips down to d1. So unfair! You have feet and legs and
CF | everything, and you're nowhere near that fast! But you see what's up.
CF | You'll be able to guard your pawn easily. Thankfully, the enemy king's
CF | too far away to gang up on your pawn, but it's a stalemate all the
CF | same.
CF |
CF | Okay, let's set things back where they were and try again.

CF | Triumph! The pawn makes it to the eighth rank. The black king laughs
CF | as the white knight, and not your wife the white queen, pops up.
CF | But, alas, the black rook is ready to slide in to c1 and skewer you.
CF | Once you move out of check, the white knight will fall. Then the king
CF | and rook will defeat you.
CF |
CF | Okay, let's set things back where they were and try again.

Knight_Otu says, "I am even more chessed out now. And as ever out-chessed."
Jacqueline says (to Travis), "Yes. Yes, it is."
Jacqueline asks, "Callin' it?"
Knight_Otu says, "At least on my end."
Jacqueline says, "An interesting concept, and I like the narrative aspect, I'm just not a chessy person."
MoyTravis says, "I ain't gonna object to calling it."
Jade says, "there are some simple but very difficult chess problems."
