The universal language of chess [D1EE, Market Ward] (Open)

[Dare Shah]

A slightly smug smile curled on Dare's lips:

"Chess might be the oldest game in the multiverse that is nonetheless still played today. There may be a good reason or two for that.

Do you wish to see if we can find a less experienced opponent for you now? Maybe on another day? Life's clock is also ticking."

[Ikkit the Bastard]

"Wouldn't mind another go 'gainst someone a bit less expert."


[Which Ikkit's player would suggest handwaving as a nice fade out on the scene ]

[Dare Shah]

"Sure. Let me introduce you to the President. The living example that sometimes you can play a game for decades and only get marginally better at it."

[Thank you! Although being only SLIGHTLY better at chess than Ikkit is, it was a challenge at times ]
