Things have been rather quiet around here, haven't they? The melon fever seems to have died down, and the island seems to be satisfied with presenting that to us--at least for the time being ( Read more... )

Oh, Chess? I know about it, but I'm a little hazy on the rules.

Kyon was mentioning playing some board games, so I wouldn't mind brushing up a bit.

son_of_sigurd July 26 2008, 04:02:36 UTC

All right, sounds good. As for the rules, you could reread some of them or just pick them up again as you play. Which would you prefer?

heroic_commoner July 26 2008, 04:13:32 UTC

I should be able to pick it up as I go, if you don't mind going slowly.

son_of_sigurd July 26 2008, 04:16:58 UTC

Sure, I have no problem with that.

*brief timeskip to mid-game*

mmm, this is complicated. It's kinda hard to believe that some people can do this so easily.

The knights move like this, right?

son_of_sigurd July 26 2008, 04:33:36 UTC

Hm? Let me see what you're doing...

Yeah, that's right.

It gets more complicated than this, actually. The books I was looking at were referencing different formations and strategies used by master chess players.

heroic_commoner July 26 2008, 04:36:01 UTC

Yeah, it's crazy how much effort some people will put into games like this.

Let's see, what can I do here... *moves knight* Uh, check, I think.

son_of_sigurd July 26 2008, 04:40:52 UTC

Eh? ...Oops! How'd I get that careless?

*captures the knight with a nearby bishop*

heroic_commoner July 26 2008, 04:47:57 UTC

*another brief timeskip*

Man, you're really good at this. Maybe you played these kind of games a lot before you came here. *sacrifices her second bishop*

son_of_sigurd July 26 2008, 04:54:35 UTC

I don't recall playing a game like this before, but I still have a lot to remember. Most of my childhood from age seven onwards is still a blank outside of sword lessons.

*moves a rook to where it has a clear shot at Haruhi's king* Check.

heroic_commoner July 26 2008, 07:14:12 UTC

Ah! Jeez, uh... hmm.

I don't think I can get away, so I guess that would mean I lose... unless you see something?

son_of_sigurd July 27 2008, 04:08:08 UTC

Hmm... Looks like you've got one move left to make. But even then, I can just move my queen and it'll be checkmate.

heroic_commoner July 27 2008, 14:26:22 UTC

Yeah, okay. You win.

It was fun, though. Thanks for the game.
