About GM Haladir
------------------------
I've a duty as the referee
At the start of the match.
On behalf of all our sponsors
I must welcome you,
Which I do,
There's a catch.
I don't care if you're a champion.
No one messes with me.
I am ruthless in upholding
What I know is right,
Black or white,
As you'll see:
I'm on the case, can't be fooled.
Any objection is overruled.
Yes I'm the Arbiter and I know best.
I'm impartial, don't push me, I'm unimpressed.
You got your tricks—good for you!
But there's no gambit I don't see through.
Oh I'm the Arbiter, I know the score—
From Square One I'll be watching all sixty-four!
—"The Arbiter" from Chess
