ITP: Chess and Other Games

[mind_over_metal]

[--oh oh oh man, it’s the worst feeling, like one of those slow-motion disasters in the movies, where you walk in on something and you immediately know that you’ve walked in on something, the awkwardness hits before your foot touches the ground for your next step but it's too late for you to turn around, the inertia is already carrying you forward

[...hunh

just watching, for now.]

*is totally kicking Erik's arse a second time, and just as quickly :Db*

[vampere]

I see you've had practice.

[mind_over_metal]

We both have. Please don't judge him by these games, we're just testing something out here.

Do you play?

[vampere]

Well, I haven't for a while, but in theory, yes.

[mind_over_metal]

I seem to be getting that answer a lot.

[vampere]

It's not like it comes up a lot here.

[mind_over_metal]

I hadn't realised that chess sets were so rare here. A person could start a business.

[vampere]

Yes, because it's really the chess sets that are the defining factor here.

[mind_over_metal]

Well, it does seem as though a lot of people here know how to play but just don't actually do it. Sometimes, all you need to do is make things easy for people.

[vampere]

Well, if you want to make the attempt, I'm not about to stop you.

[ oh, he can't wait.

he's a skilled, strategic player, but it doesn't seem to be availing him very much at the moment. ]

[vampere]

[...No, it most certainly doesn't and he's frowning a little at the moves.]
