No one in particular, unless you mean intrigued individuals such as yourself. Primarily I play for recreation sake rather than strategy, and I haven't had the opportunity to indulge in the pleasure recently, I'm afraid.
Then we shall begin with the moves. As you no doubt are already aware, the goal is to win via checkmate - albeit there are times where the game will end with a draw, or by resignation.
[ Next she indicates each piece as she explains it. ]
Each piece can move a certain way. The king can move one square in any direction save for backwards. The rook can only move left, right, forward and back. The bishop can only move diagonally, whereas the queen can move a number of empty squares in all directions.
[ And then once she's finished explaining the others, she glances up again. ] Simple, no?
[ She just grins to herself. Almost gotcha there Alexei. She's amused. ] Given the dangerous situation we find ourselves in here, you must have quite a lot of volunteers for teachers and students already.
[He's focused on this game, even if he doesn't seem like it.]
A number of people signed themselves up to be teachers already. There's not as many signing up as students at the moment. I don't think they realize they don't have a say with the draft.
Are you expecting someone or playing for strategy?

Then you may make the first move.
[ Yayz for colorz. But Robin is in no rush, and it's obvious from the casual way she's seated. ]
You're the gentleman puting together the training school, correct?

Yes, I am. [he glances down at the board and moves a piece] Alexei is my name. And you are?

Nico Robin. Are you sure you want to move that there?
[ There is nothing wrong with the move. She's just screwing with you :D ]
How are preparations going then?

... [For a second there, Robin probably did catch him off guard, but he simply nods] It's fine where it is.
It's moving along. I'm already working on the roster for the teachers and students.
