Here is the last paragraph from 'A Scandal in Bohemia':
__And that was how a great scandal threatened to affect the kingdom of Bohemia, and how the best plans of Mr. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by a woman's wit. He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honourable title of the woman.
In 'The Five Orange Pips' Holmes says:
__"I have been beaten four times - three times by men and once by a woman."

Is guy riches character of Sherlock Holmes is his latest move more like his real character in books?
The Holmes in the new movie is not at all like the real Sherlock Holmes! To quote a critic (that I happen to agree with) he is like Rambo quoting poetry.
What was the game according to Sherlock Holmes?
This is an easy one! Sherlock Holmes was such a smart mastermind detective that he considered each case similar to "a game". It was so easy for him! I'm guessing you're referring to the quote "Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!" I love that quote! But anyway, yeah Holmes considered the mystery and the chase--the final point of suspense--as a game, a dangerous game in which he also won. Lol this is random but--I also like this quote, because it applies to me when I'm writing my books and so is helpful as well as funny-- "Cut out the poetry, Watson." ---Susan
