[somewhere outside. hopefully where there is quiet and no people. we have a two boys, a chess board and some friendly teaching play]

I expect you've studied that book enough to understand the basic movements and objectives.

I think I understand most of them, at least in theory.

But can I ask. . . ?

From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
You at least understand how the game is won?

Hmm?

Date: 2007-10-31 01:09 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
Mm. The object is to checkmate the king, isn't it? And. . .

[Gesturing at the chessboard. It is all kinds of flamboyant in bright neon green and pink.]

Where did you find one like that?

Date: 2007-10-31 01:24 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
Correct.

[barely glances down at the board]

It's one of mine. I find it effective for areas that don't have adequate lighting. Camp is a perfect example.

From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
You have others for playing during the day then?

Date: 2007-10-31 01:45 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
Of course. Though I occasionally use an opponent's set.

Now if you are done your questions, choose your color.

[glancing down at the board]

Is white fine?

[doesn't look surprised but sighs anyway]

If that's what you wish.

[blinks]

I don't mind changing.

Date: 2007-10-31 02:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
What have I told you about that?

White moves first.

Date: 2007-10-31 02:21 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
. . . all right.

[Pauses to consider, then moves a pawn to d-4. Game START.]

[pawn to e-5 and then waits...]

Date: 2007-10-31 02:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
[Glances at it. Processing. . . processing. . . hey! Takes that pawn on e-5.]

Already?

Date: 2007-10-31 02:40 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
[congratulations. you've figured out how to capture and you didn't even have to trap it in a mech, also chuckling a bit]

You shouldn't sound so surprised. I told you this was a teaching game.

Date: 2007-10-31 02:43 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
[I'd be more likely to capture it if it had a mask and cape. OH OH]

It's only my second move. Doesn't that seem early?

Date: 2007-10-31 02:51 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
[and then you'd blow yourself up. good job. ;;b, also pawn to f-6]

Perhaps. But an important part of the game is looking beyond the individual pieces and rather studying how they impact one another in a larger scale.

From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
[. . . taking that pawn too! i-it was there.]

You've mentioned that before. How far ahead do you usually plan?

Date: 2007-10-31 03:02 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
That depends on the strength of the player. Some make it easier than others.

[knight takes that pawn]

Date: 2007-10-31 03:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
[oh snap. moving his knight to f-6]

The ones you gambled with?

[pawn to d-5]

They almost took all the fun of it with their pathetic play. But at least Rivalz got some amusement out of their efforts.

Date: 2007-10-31 03:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
[bishop to c-5]

They were used to deliberately bullying weaker opponents, and their arrogance made them sloppy. As for Rivalz, the money might have had something to do with it.

From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
[huh. bishop to g-2 o/]

I'm surprised that it took our teacher so long to notice all of your absences.

Date: 2007-10-31 03:46 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thekingsgambit.livejournal.com
You shouldn't be so reluctant to use the more powerful pieces more effectively, Suzaku.

[castling goes here]

I can't imagine why it would matter as long as I fair well on my examinations.

Date: 2007-10-31 03:52 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] oneknightstands.livejournal.com
Ah. You're right.

[staaaring. and then after some deliberation, repeating the castling on his end of the board]

You have to be there to listen to the teacher. Although I guess I'm not one to talk. . .
