Chess pieces?

I don't suppose this is your doing, Lezard?

It's pretty weird. I wonder why chess?

extantlaw July 24 2009, 19:46:03 UTC

It is a civilised game, at the least. I prefer the pieces on the board, however. It is considerably less painful.

feathered_earth July 24 2009, 19:47:56 UTC

I think it's kind of silly, but on the board is definitely better than falling out of the sky.

extantlaw July 24 2009, 19:50:50 UTC

Silly? Really now. Do you play?

If it started hailing boards as well, we could all collect pieces for a full set and hold a tournament.

extantlaw July 24 2009, 19:57:29 UTC

It would be considerably more enjoyable than some of the events that pass for entertainment here.

snowburned July 24 2009, 19:58:35 UTC

It would probably last longer, too, if it's true what they say about the time it takes to master the game.

extantlaw July 24 2009, 20:43:43 UTC

Indeed. Although I would rather not spend decades here, chess or no.

flenceburgsbest July 24 2009, 20:21:58 UTC

Oh, how I wish I could claim credit for this. I simply call it 'destiny', and request a game.

Kazahana's suggestion of a tournament sounds like a fun idea, but I'm afraid we may be the only ones who know how to play, save for two or three others.

snowburned July 24 2009, 20:50:26 UTC

I hadn't intended that as a literal suggestion, but if you're looking for others to play against, why not arrange to teach the game?

flenceburgsbest July 24 2009, 21:53:00 UTC

Hmmm. You may be on to something, though I do have other lessons to teach. Perhaps Edgeworth would be happy to lend his knowledge?

extantlaw July 24 2009, 22:53:12 UTC

Is there any particular reason that you insist in drawing attention to my name?

I have no objection to teaching chess to those who are serious about learning.

I'm still missing a black king for a full set.

kleptomonkey July 24 2009, 22:19:35 UTC

Is it the tall one with the cross on the top?

I've got one.

floating_bamboo July 24 2009, 23:00:31 UTC

Oh, perfect!

crowsloveapples July 24 2009, 22:34:28 UTC

I have an extra one too whitey-chan!

Well if you're missing any pieces or want to make a second set, you've definitely got a good chance to do so. :)

extantlaw July 24 2009, 22:54:33 UTC

...And have you kept up your practice, Lucy?

lemonshine July 24 2009, 22:58:24 UTC

Yes, but you'll still beat me.

extantlaw July 24 2009, 23:38:39 UTC

Then you need to practice harder.
