Hi, When surfing the internet i encounterd these cartoons. Cartoon 1: ![](http://www.collegediksmuide.be/_TEMP/schach001.gif) And this one Cartoon 2: ![](http://www.collegediksmuide.be/_TEMP/schach004.gif) But since I’m not german I don’t understand them very good. Cartoon1: The are talking about how the situation is, and there’s going to be a breaktrough. And then the pawn says: TOR? What’s that about. Tor means gate, no? Can someone explain. (=\> Particulary winking to Lost, because I know he’s german…) And then the second cartoon. Can someone translate what the king says? I’ve tried the translator of worllingo, but it didn’t made any sence… Thanks… ---

Tor means ‘Goal’, I believe… 🙂 And Dauerschach is ‘continuous chess’… ---

This is what happens in the first one… They’re talking about a secret birthday party for a friend, and then they are saying who they’ve invited and then he says hes invited George! But the party is for George! So the surprise is spoilt. ☹ The second one… He’s running around looking for his banana and at the end he shouts, “Where’s my banana?!?” - Soul :s: ---
