Summary of Receipt
161 runs really fast to the end of the chessboard, promoting and becoming the Red Queen. Now that she can control her own chess pieces, she and 161 just took over for the White Queen and checkmated the Black King. After his loss, the Black King handed them a note from Nobody, claiming he never even bothered trying to win the chess game and instead stole from both the Black and White castles. He also invites the CaD to meet him 'by the tumtum tree' to play another game.

WOW!! I simply cannot believe this! I simply cannot! You will never believe what happened because I hardly believe what happened, but let me tell you this, I will tell you exactly what happened! Okay, so No. 161 had a very, VERY good plan after the race reset for the nineteenth time. She simply decided to run very fast to the other side of Wonderland, where the Black Queen and King live. She was almost stopped by a man with a pointy hat, but he could only chase us diagonally, so we simply moved horizontally to the side.
But, okay, this is the most exciting part, we made it to the other side of Wonderland!!! AND! AND! AND!!! When No. 161 got there, they said, they really said this part, they said: “Congratulations!!! You’ve earned a promotion!” And then they gave No. 161 a CROWN! AND NOW SHE IS A QUEEN! SHE IS A QUEEN OF WONDERLAND NOW!! How very exciting!! They called her the “Red Queen,” I think because her hair is very bright red. But as the Red Queen, No. 161 was able to command her own Chessmen, and with No. 422’s help, No. 161 moved both of the White Queen’s Rooks rank by rank until they had the Black King in Checkmate! WOW!!! What a great game!!!
AND! AND! This is even more exciting… because we won the race/game Nobody did not! And, and this really happened, I am telling you, the Black King gave us a note! Yes, a note!!! From who? NOBODY! Yes, Mr. Nobody gave us a note! He said, and this is what the note said, he said:
“Congrstulations on a race well ran!
You can accomplish anything with a well thought-through plan.
Knowing that I knew somebody would win this race.
As I am Nobody, I figured why bother to give chase?
Instead, I plundered keeps on both the Black and White side.
Why else call it a keep if Nobody is allowed to take what’s inside?
But the winners should still have a chance to get their fame.
So, come find me by the Tumtum tree and we’ll play a new game.”
