Humanized Chess Pieces Novels & Stories

Black pawn moves automatically and this game seems to have an automatic opponent. I moved the rook to line 3 third white box. The rook moves to the black side line 6 third Black box. Using the rook, I kill the black pawn then the black rook move to kill my white pawn. I moved my queen to where my pawn came from. The black rook on the left side moved forward. I check my white rook, the black queen moves out. It matched my queen and it was my turn to move it then viola! I killed the most powerful piece of black chess.

I said nothing. The nothing was not shock. It was not guilt. It was the particular silence of a man who has just watched the opening move of something and is already three moves ahead of it, reading the board, understanding the shape of the game that has just begun, and knowing with a certainty that sat below logic and above instinct that the man standing across from him with the performed horror on his face had been in this room before me tonight. And had not left it empty.

She took care of one of my pawns but I ate her hook. The game got intense as she gave me a furious look. I took it that she's playing with me or maybe testing my reaction. She ate my knight which I hadn't anticipated. I stared at how strategic her chess pieces looked at the battlefield. If I moved my queen, she would eat her but one of my pawns had almost reached the end of the line. I moved my queen and Alee took the bait. She moved her knight and ate my queen, which gave me an ample opportunity to replace my pawn with my queen.

I probably shouldn’t but… “Do you play Chess?” He asks suddenly, startling me. “I know the moves but that’s about it.” “Follow me.” He leads me to the center of the study where a large table is. In the middle of the table is a chessboard that looks like it was carved from marble. The pieces themselves are shiny ivory and look expensive enough to pay my salary. “Everyone knows how powerful the lead pieces are,” he explains as he begins moving the king and queen, “But they’re not the most powerful.”

Almost. I sit at a corner table and pull out my notebook. Instead of homework, I draw a chessboard, marking the pieces. Pawn: Me. Small, expendable, but underestimated. King: Chief Langston. The one I ultimately need to take down. Queen: Jace. Dangerous, powerful, capable of ending me if I’m not careful. The rest fall into place. Marissa and her followers as rooks—strong but predictable. Teachers as bishops—slicing diagonally, always at angles you don’t expect. The rest of the students? Pawns like me, though most of them don’t know it.

With a sinister smile as he plays unto the rook, Jay tosses unto him. They draw their expression as one thing remains and forever will be tagged in their worlds. They are their master’s puppet and the rook of the chess game ‘they are playing with. “Besides, we are the highest piece next to the queen. The rook, the palace and fortress of this entire game.”

Reiner's POV: The hallway echoed with my footsteps as I marched towards the end of the hall where Hank and the others were waiting. My hands were balled into fists and my teeth were clenched. If there was one thing I hate, is another man messing with my toys. I see women as nothing but toys. They are either useful to my benefits or are useless and fit to be discharged and replaced. Laura was not just any toy but my pawn. As low ranked as a pawn might seem, it's values are very important in the game of chess. Once it advances to the end of the enemies territory, it can be promoted to a powerful piece.

“Are these hand-carved?” “Yes, each chess piece is done by hand,” I tell her, letting her explore each piece. “The board’s walnut and beech, and the pieces are ash and black oak. I thought about getting a stone board, but I decided a folding board so that you can store it or take it with us wherever we go would be more appropriate. It’s an important gift for me, both in the actual chessboard and in the admission that I want to go wherever this woman is. Hailey caresses each piece before closing the case and looking up at me through those beautiful mile-long lashes of hers.

About seven moves had been made in that short conversation by his opponent and he had indeed beaten him. What followed was even crazier than losing to a chess game. Henry watched the pieces of chess literally come to life. They started by gradually shaking and causing a rattling noise on the chess board before assembling in an eerie animated sensation. They climbed on each other, with the Pawns gathering themselves on the board and helping the Knights climb up on top of then together with the Bishops, Queens and Kings. The scene got even crazier when the pieces began to multiply, all the while climbing over each other until they formed a tall figurine towering over six feet above Henry.

Leo replied. "Risky? Kanji already has an advantage and there are a lot of changes on both sides, but still, Allura should stick with the castling move." Dominic added. I know they are doing this all on purpose. My brows knitted in confusion as their words and suggestions jumbled in my head, causing me to lose concentration and forget my next move. "Shit," I cursed in my head as I made a risky move on my piece. Kanji smirked as he watched me move my piece, and he then moved his queen out of the pawns, or shall we say the most powerful chess piece in the game.
