Colorado-Stalemate {ELF}

Can a wayward Pole-elf (Amlan Satan) find 'chess-dreams' in Denver and ward-off darkness while reinventing Xmas-effort(s)?

A vignette about Xmas-magic, inspired by Elf (Will Ferrell), a stellar story!

Amlan Satan had been a wayward elf in the North-Pole and abandoned his post at the Santa-station to 'transform' into a human-prince to become a Xmas-salesman in Denver, Colorado (United States). He entered the city, posing as a simply immigrant looking for a well-paid position as sales-clerk/associate/helper in the Christmas-store on Denver's main street. This is his unusual story!

AMLAN SATAN (Elf): The life of a Pole-elf was no-IQ for me; Ieft-behind Santa's station(s) and trekked to Denver social-media!

He became a cool ice-hockey fan in Colorado (United States) and started really cheering for the Avalanche-team and met a pretty woman (Tandy) and decided he'd teach her how to play chess, so she'd chat about it, about competition-spirit(s) on social-media (ha).

He got the position he looked for in Denver, in the Xmas-store during the holiday-season that year, and his boss, Ezzy, liked his work and the quality of his experience(s) as explained in his offbeat resume (experience-includes --- bank-teller, telemarketer, restaurant sous-chef, toy-store rep in Algeria). Ezzy found Amlan Satan the elf to be rather eccentric but affable...and hard-working (of course!).

He decided he'd attend a special Avalanche-Flyers game in Denver, since the Philadelphia sports organization was suddenly 'all-rave' in the United States, and Tandy claimed it'd be a social-media 'exercise' in market-IQ for Xmas that season (hmm).

He then got a part-time assistant pseudo-volunteer position coaching a Boys-Girls Club youth-ice hockey team in the city and started to think that the 'link' or chess-bond between ice-sports and Santa's vision(s) of Christmas was a 'thing' of human distances...and medicine. It was all a magical bond of ice (wow), and he looked great as a coach now. Even Ezzy was impressed with this.

When he wasn't serving as an ice-hockey coach in the city, he was working in the Xmas-store in Denver. This made for a completely reinvented life for the ex-elf (Amlan Satan), and for the first time, he didn't miss Santa at all (wow).

JOURNAL: Obtaining chess-crafted for ice-hockey (for youth-IQ) is 'excellence' in modern education/activity/coaching.

All this exciting work past his past-life as a Pole-elf drew the interest(s) of a spying moon-Martian who hoped to challenge this chess-playing ice-hockey coaching Denver Xmas-store clerk/elf and hacked into his cyber-net to see if he'd been a fan of sci-fi media (Alien movies!).

MARTIAN: Damn; you've drawn a 'cool' rook-bishop double-line against my queen-knight advance(s) for everyone!

ELF (Amlan Satan): Excellence, Mr. Alien; seems such a 'Colorado-Stalemate' warrants sovereignty for the Earth-pole(s).

MARTIAN: Indeed...I suppose you'll continue your society-Crusade; I'll resign to the ocean as a self-exiled isolationist now.

ELF (Amlan Satan): Sounds awesome; you're an 'excellent' chess-player, however (hmm).

Such competition-IQ from the Martian's envy drew Amlan's attention to another aspect of Denver --- the crime(s) of blood-diamond traffic. He read in cyber-news of merchants/banks 'sullied' by piracy-gems trafficked by smugglers into Denver, and he decided to perform a magical 'Robin Hood' action that Xmas, after exiling the Martian with a 'Colorado-Stalemate' in chess and swapped bank-gems from Sierra Leone with toys (ha!).

BANK MANAGER: This guy in hat/Coronavirus-mask/sunglasses claimed he'd sought Baron Ion's box-photos and made a switch!

TANDY: All these ideations of chess/Xmas-rule(s) and Denver light(s) makes wonder if 'elves' are cyber-photographers.

JOURNAL: Denver's safe now, and when Santa comes riding his sleigh in the night-sky, an elf awaits with goodly-chess heroics.

SANTA: When I find that wayward Elf (Amlan Satan), I shall grab his ear(s) and define his refreshed sense of Pole-position(s)!
