IF Queen Margot had not thrown down a heavy gauntlet to us... IF the aspiring grandmaster Marik Egorov had not fallen into his own mat network... IF we had not had to drive a dump truck with waste paper into the city in order to slightly update the famous aphorism... IF our captain Stella Hwang had not planned to feed a group of well-fed and appetizing students to the sharks... IF it had not been for Operation 13-30... IF the feisty cow Kisa had behaved decently and had not provoked a forced marathon... IF it had not been for the saving idea of ​​opening a HELL in the village... IF, finally, our once lush mountain had not been insultingly nicknamed Bald... In short, IF it weren’t for a string of endless adventures, these notes could not have been born.
