Fun sentence construction game
The recent threads on ugly machines, plastic machines, etc gave me an idea. Construct a single grammatically correct sentence using as many commercial chess computer names as possible. Plurals are allowed so long as the sentence remains grammatically correct with correct spelling (i.e. Executive and Executives are fine).
Here is my first attempt:
Me and my Travel Companions - Chess Mate Senator Nigel Short and Chess Pal Genius Leonardo Madison - were wandering along Miami Beach and headed to the nearby Coral Restaurant and Bistro when we were accosted by Marauders King Arthur and his cohorts Igor and Ivan wielding Rapiers - a combination against which our Avant-garde fighting techniques and Silver Bullets were no match.
Sentence uses the following chess computer names:
Travel Companion
Chess Mate
Senator
Nigel Short
Chess Pal
Genius
Leonardo
Madison
Coral
Bistro
Marauder
King Arthur
Igor
Ivan
Rapier
Avantgarde
Silver Bullet
Score: 17

Chess is like painting the Mona Lisa whilst walking through a minefield.

OK I'll play. Can't resist the temptation to play with words
“Bravo Virtuoso! What an Aurora! You are a Master and Cavalier, your Allegro has a unique Solar Star Brute Force that creates the effect of Coronas and Spectrums on the spacious mind" said Chess King Boris the Legend and Premiere Diplomat of Sierra Leone who was sitting at the American Mensa auditorium with his Cougar Escort Alexandra, America’s beautiful former Beach Belle of Atlanta with her famous Bistro eyes and Tiny pouting lips, when tears had welled up as he listened to Grand-Master Galileo’s Capella from Roma sing the final Aria of the new Concerto named Disney’s Magic Castle written by Cosmic Merlin who is a true musical Titan and Traveler of the Cosmos and Galaxy and very different to the Maestro Mephisto from Berlin, Alaska whose music has a more Savant Conquistador sound that is more Forte to the Sensors compared to what his Regency just heard which was Elite and very Avant Garde.

Hi Nick, you are ready to construct sentences using your own words in Portuguese-Brasil. Or not?

Voce me conhece, eu nao falar bem portugues, so um pouco.
Abracos
ps. for those who are wondering. I spent time in Brasil a few years ago, and I met Oswaldo in Sao Paulo. In fact I bought my Saitek Corona from him and some hand made wooden chess pieces suitable for a Chafitz ARB board.
In fact those same hand made wooden chess pieces I ended up selling to John Cleese also few years ago. John Cleese's secretary had contacted me after seeing the ARB on my website. John had lost his chess pieces moving back from England to his California home and asked if I had a spare set to sell. Since I had this spare set I sold it, feeling quite pleased with the knowledge that John Cleese whenever he plays with his ARB is playing with my chess pieces which I had bought from Oswaldo
Oswaldo is a good man and a gentleman!
Best regards

about pieces, computers and Nick
Hi all, Nick has a particularity,
Well, well, thank you for your words Nick. I remember, even as we speak in my home, Nick played an informal game with Mephisto MM II, anyway, without paying much attention, won easy. He's not just a collector, knows a lot about chess;
Grateful for your words, always be welcome in São Paulo;
Abraços
Oswaldo

Well, I don't think that I can do it in Portuguese, but here is one more shot that I felt like writing this evening. I have not counted how many computers but I know it's a lot.
