She would occasionally mutter, "Why doesn't he look anything like me? He's like Candice's carbon copy." Zayn always reassured her, saying, "Well, Candice carried him for nine months. It's normal that he looks like her now." Soon, Lucas began showing signs of exceptional intelligence. Zayn proudly told everyone that Lucas had inherited his brains while ignoring how much the boy increasingly resembled me. In elementary school, Lucas skipped three grades. He completed all his high school courses in three years and graduated as the state's top science student. Within five years, he earned his Ph.D. and was acclaimed as a computer genius worldwide. His breakthrough chip technology led the domesti

"Why do you say that?" "It's because he's exchanging something that only he should be able to use or handle," I said. "If that happened in real life, it would be like betraying the person who trusts us completely." "Is there something wrong there? If you give someone else something or someone that doesn't make sense anymore?" "S-sure .... yes. Your technique is a big mistake." "And how did you say that?" "Playing chess is not based on how many pieces are left on the board. It's based on how you strategy to win with your own pieces." I had to ride it even though it was tricky.

Imre ask while staring at Liam. Liam slowy low down his power when he heard Imre. He didn't actually use all his power and strength to fight instead he made himself loss from Imre because that's what Imre wanted to. And Liam gave that privilege's to him. He already knows that kind of attitude of Imre's to always be the first from everything.

Hades I looked down at the chessboard through my glasses, the faint reflection of black and white pieces staring back at me. My sleeves were rolled up, the cuffs creased, my tie long gone and forgotten somewhere in the room. My hair was a mess, fingers having dragged through it one too many times as the game dragged on. Calmly, I picked up my black piece and moved it forward. The white piece in its path fell. I removed it from the board without hesitation and set it aside.

She asked questions the entire time, and by the end he was pulling maps from a drawer she was fairly certain had not been opened in six months. Tomorrow, if you want to continue. She did. * * * Riven appeared in the library on day eleven with a chess board and no explanation. She had not played in years. He set it up and raised an eyebrow. She played. She lost the first game in thirty-two moves. You sacrificed your bishop protecting your queenside, he said. Your queenside was never his target. Stop protecting the thing you are afraid to lose and play toward the thing you want. We are still talking about chess, he said pleasantly.

The peace held into the next day, fragile but real, and by afternoon Reyes had declared, half-joking, half-serious, that she intended to teach me something useful that had nothing to do with financial records or surveillance patterns. “Chess,” she said, setting up a worn board on the war room table that had, for once, been cleared of case files entirely. “You strike me as someone who’d be good at it, if you ever let yourself simply focus on one thing at a time instead of managing five crises simultaneously.” “I don’t know the rules,” I admitted. “Then we start there,” she said, arranging the pieces with practiced efficiency. “It’s mostly patience, disguised as aggression. I think you’ll take

Seeing the flushed face of the little girl, he smirked in satisfaction. "The price." John embraced Diana's waist, displaying a possessive posture, and glanced at the astonished store owner nearby. "Huh? What?" The petrified man finally regained his senses. Facing John's icy gaze, he trembled and stuttered, "One chess piece costs $15,000. There are 16 white pieces and 16 black pieces in one set, making a total of 32 pieces per set, and there are two sets in total... Please wait a moment while I calculate."

There was a chair across from him, and the second I sat, I felt his eyes on me like he was waiting to see if I’d flinch. “You always walk in like the air belongs to you,” he said. “Even now.” I didn’t answer. He smiled slightly. “It’s why I like you, you’re like a flame wrapped in silence. Tell me, Zoey, do you know how to play chess?” “No.” “You should,” he said. “It’s the game of kings and of wars.” I stayed quiet. Viktor studied the board like it was a mirror. “The king,” he said, lifting the piece, “is the most important, but the weakest. He can only move one square at a time. He’s slow and predictable.” He placed it back down. “Like Graham.”

It had just shifted. And the Queen on the chessboard was finally moving.

I took a deep breath and walked right up to my designated board, and looked down at the pieces. My mind was still fuzzy from the heavy physical lifting of the previous station, but I forced my brain to clear. I played chess with my grandfather when I was a kid. He always taught me to look three steps ahead, and to see the invisible traps. The most important one wss to never rush a King. The white pieces were trapped in a classic corner defense. The black king was guarded by a rook and a pawn wall. Move one. If I moved the white queen to the diagonal square, it would look like an open attack, but it was actually a decoy. The black rook would immediately capture it.
