[Retros] Are the King and the Rook pieces of what?

[Otto Janko]

Dear Andrey,

Your last two mails did not go to the RML, but to the RML administrator
(i.e. only Joost and myself). You should repost it to the list:
retros at janko.at, not retros-bounces at janko.at.

Best Regards,

- Otto Janko [mailto:otto at janko.at] [http://www.janko.at]
