Clue 1: Where does 224 mention marriage in C-DTRH02?
Clue 2: It's 'stale', huh? If these problems were resolved, which chess term would the marriage most likely become.
Clue 3: From a draw to a win.
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Checkmate
Explanation: In C-DTRH02, it says “And, and this is the most interesting part, the White King believed that Nobody would win and that it was certain to be another stale mate. I do not know why he thinks his wife is stale. Perhaps it is marital troubles.” Thus, the opposite is Checkmate.
Summary of Receipt
161 is very fed up that, despite running with all her might, she hasn't actually moved much and is still stuck at the White Queen's courtyard. At the same time there are towers with wheels who can zoom around 'like cars', but they're stuck on foot.

how....... long..... have..... we.... been RUNNING!
AGHHHHHHHHHhhh!!!!!
i thought that the whole nonsense talk was annoying but i didnt realize that there would be SO MUCH RUNNING. wth???? weve been running for what feels like its been days but the sun has barely moved in the sky so ???? could be days could be minutes could be hours???? idk. at least so far we havent gotten hungry, thirsty, or """"tired"""" in wonderland. tired in many, many, MANY air quotes cuz i am pooped. but like i dont feel like i need to sleep or anything. just need to stop running around like mad people.
what the HECk is the point of this stupid "race" if nobody wins? also im like 99% sure the little fat king guy meant that NOBODY as in no one wins this stupid race. i mean its hardly even a race for him he can barely walk let alone run. but those guys in the towers? HOLY CRAP those towers have WHEELS and they have been zipping through the forests like cars. i s2g i think those towers have like motor engines in them or something. which also.... how is that fair???? what is the point of this race if some people have HORSES and CAR TOWERS and we just have to run around on foot?? yuck. i thought wonderland was supposed to be full of cards and silly cats which i was looking forward to but i havent seen a single card this entire time.
and another complaint i have: we haven't MOVED MUCH AT ALL! we are running around like crazy but then boom we are right back at the start of the white queens courtyard. maybe this is why no one ever wins this stupid race because no one can actually LEAVE. oh god. oh gooood. i hope we can leave once this race is over. i am so completely over wonderland. at least no. 224s been having a good time even if we arent really making and progress. oh and of course no. 422 hasnt slithered a muscle since the race started. he said: "whatssssssss the point in running if you end up in the sssssssame ssssssspot????"
which.... fair. tbh.
uhhhhh remember to do some cardio and drink lots of water! love you all <3
