Er ist einer der fähigsten Männer und wird immer dann zu Rate gezogen, wenn seine Kollegen mal wieder vor einem Rätsel stehen. Seine resolute und krimibegeisterte Haushälterin Miss Paddington unterstützt ihn stets mit liebevoller Fürsorge. Und insgeheim verfolgt sie noch ein weiteres Ziel: ihn endlich mit der jungen, attraktiven Elvira Elliot zu verkuppeln. Mysteriöse Überfälle am Bahnhof von King’s Cross geben der Polizei Rätsel auf. Inspector Hudson übernimmt den Fall. Hat der Täter es auf junge Frauen abgesehen? Oder sind die eigent - lichen Opfer die ausgeraubten Geschäftsmänner? Hudson kann sich zunächst keinen Reim darauf machen, bis Elvira ihm unwissentlich einen entscheidenden Hinweis liefert ... 4 Hoerb_Maedchen_7276734.qxd:Hoerb_7276731_Maedchen.qxd 08.04.2013 10:19 Uhr Se Chapter 1: The Attack Harriet March left the bank, where she worked as a clerk, at two minutes past five. She was in a very bad mood and was mumbling to herself. Once again, she had not got the promotion she was hoping for. She had complained to her boss that the man who had got the promotion had been with the bank for much less time than she had. Her boss had growled something about quality of work being more important than quantity of time. When she persisted, he got very angry and had picked on her all day. As Harriet walked a little faster, her cursing increased with her pace. A couple of passers-by gave her strange looks and the volume of her whining decreased, turning into veiled threats of revenge. “I’ll show them. They’ll be sorry that they didn’t promote me. How can my boss be so arrogant and not see my real potential? I’ll make them pay if it’s the last thing I do...” Suddenly, Harriet was grabbed from behind by strong arms... At 5 p.m. the next day, Arthur Harris, the owner of a computer shop, finished work. He emptied the cash register and put his 1,894 pounds takings into a money-sack. He then locked it in his briefcase, put on his overcoat and left by the front door. He pulled the metal shutters down, covering his shop window, and snapped the heavy padlock closed. Turning to the door, he extracted a large bunch of keys from his overcoat pocket and secured all three locks on the door before pulling down a second shutter and closing the padlock. After rattling the shutters to make sure that they were in place properly, he started walking towards the bank next to King’s Cross Station, where he always dropped the money into the bank’s night-safe. Mr Harris was a very punctual man and always caught the 5.27 train to his home in the suburbs. 5 Hoerb_Maedchen_7276734.qxd:Hoerb_7276731_Maedchen.qxd 08.04.2013 10:19 Uhr Se It was starting to get dark and he was already two minutes behind his normal schedule, so he walked faster. As he was passing an alley, he heard the frightened cries of a young woman. “Help! Help! He’s trying to kill me!” Mr Harris was a gentleman so he went to see if he could help. He saw a young girl was being hit by a big man dressed in black leather. “Stop!” Mr Harris shouted. The man paused for a moment and growled. “Make me stop, if you can.” Arthur Harris hesitated and considered the man’s size. He made a snap decision, pulled out his mobile phone to call the police, but was hit on the head from behind. He woke up some time later in lots of pain. He managed to call 999 and ask for an ambulance. Looking around, he noticed that his wallet and briefcase were missing. Then he fell back into darkness.

He was in the courtyard of the block of flats, polishing his beloved Bentley. There was a tiny spot on the front wing that Hudson was having problems getting rid of. Rubbing harder with the polishing cloth, Hudson muttered to himself as beads of sweat formed on his brow. “Come on Hudson. A little more elbow grease. You can’t let a little spot of bird droppings get the better of you.” He faintly heard his Christian name being called and looked around for the source. “James. Oh! James.” Hudson couldn’t see anyone and again looked around in confusion. “James. James. Up here, James.” Looking up Hudson saw a dishcloth being waved out of the kitchen window of his flat by Miss Paddington, his faithful housekeeper. “James. Telephone call from Scotland Yard. It’s Sir Reginald, I’m afraid.” Hudson waved and called, “Miss Paddington, I’m coming.” Wiping his hands on a clean rag, Hudson took the lift to his floor. Miss Paddington was waiting at the open front door with her hand over the phone’s mouthpiece. “It sounds quite urgent, James.” “Oh dear! That’s what I was afraid of.” Hudson took the phone from Miss Paddington. “Hudson speaking.” “Ah! Hudson. Sir Reginald here, old boy. I have a new case for you.” “I’m actually on holiday, sir.” “Special cases don’t wait until you’ve finished your holidays, Hudson.” 8 Hoerb_Maedchen_7276734.qxd:Hoerb_7276731_Maedchen.qxd 08.04.2013 10:19 Uhr Se “But sir...” “Now, Hudson. You can finish your holidays when you’ve wrapped up this case. Please be in my office in one hour.” Hudson hung up the phone with a frustrated sigh and headed for the bathroom to take a shower. “I’ll have sandwiches and tea ready in ten minutes, James,” Miss Paddington said sympathetically. “Miss Paddington, I don’t know what I’d do without you.” “Probably starve to death,” Miss Paddington whispered under her breath and walked towards the kitchen.

Over the years, I’ve tried several variations against both openings, usually choosing lines which White establishes a strong cen- tre although Black had lot of resources as well against those lines. When I was four- teen years old, I analysed Karpov-Polgar, Las Palmas 1994 (see Chapter 4, Game 25) and was impressed with the former World Champion’s play with White. Then, I real- ized the Fianchetto System works well for White for the following reasons: 1) After playing g3 and Íg2, White is able to put pressure on Black’s queenside. What’s more, White’s kingside is fully protected by both pieces and pawns. 2) The Fianchetto System is playable against both King’s Indian and Grünfeld de- fences.

  • Rules for Chess
    Rules for Chess Object of the Chess Game It's rather simple; there are two players with one player having 16 black or dark color chess pieces and the other player having 16 white or light color chess pieces. The chess players move on a square chessboard made up of 64 individual squares consisting of 32 dark squares and 32 light squares. Each chess piece has a defined starting point or square with the dark chess pieces aligned on one side of the board and the light pieces on the other. There are 6 different types of chess pieces, each with it's own unique method to move on the chessboard. The chess pieces are used to both attack and defend from attack, against the other players chessmen. Each player has one chess piece called the king. The ultimate objective of the game is to capture the opponents king. Having said this, the king will never actually be captured. When either sides king is trapped to where it cannot move without being taken, it's called "checkmate" or the shortened version "mate". At this point, the game is over. The object of playing chess is really quite simple, but mastering this game of chess is a totally different story. Chess Board Setup Now that you have a basic concept for the object of the chess game, the next step is to get the the chessboard and chess pieces setup according to the rules of playing chess. Lets start with the chess pieces. The 16 chess pieces are made up of 1 King, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks, and 8 pawns.
