Master Chess Novels & Stories

"Congrats, do send my greetings to your father." "Will do," I promised with a smile. I walked away saying under my breath, "Will do when I see that man in hell." The game of chess is not just any old board game but it is also the game of life. You can be represented as the king, all the others are the people around you. Check mate means game over in the game but check mate in real life means your life has come to an end... Those were my father's words, the greatest chess player of all time. Too many victories to count, only 3 draws and no losses.

Father was talking to a messenger boy as I faced Gwen who was seriously thinking as she stared at the board on my desk. "The king." She responded. "Why?" I asked as I picked up the lonesome king. "Because the king determines if he ends the game or not." Gwen explained as I laughed. I sat down and placed the pieces and had all the pieces fall on their faces. Gwen came closer as I rearranged the pieces. "The most powerful piece in chess is the one who controls the flow of the game. In short, the player who wins." I responded as I used a pawn to checkmate the king.

When she spoke, you could see the dark aura enveloping her. “It seems they played me for a fool…”, pausing, looking like she was mulling over what to do. “Let’s play a game with them in return, let’s show them why they should never try and play games with The Mistress. They thought they were dealing with a pawn on a chessboard, they were seriously mistaken and for their mistake they will pay dearly. Let’s show them why the Queen is the most powerful piece on the chessboard”.

This was no ordinary chessboard; it was a battleground for the kingdom's finest minds. Roberick, known for his strategic brilliance on the battlefield, had been unbeaten in chess for years. He was a master tactician who had outwitted generals and commanders from neighboring lands. It was said that his mind was as sharp as his sword, and his decisions were as calculated as they were ruthless.

His mind wandered to the beginning days of his paralysis and how frustrated he was at everything then. With a smile on his face, he pulled Elise. “Let’s go!” As they stepped into the lounge, the chess set was exactly where she’d left it, perched on a side table. Alejandro set it up with ease, explaining the basics as he placed each piece in the right order. Pawns in a neat row, rooks at the corners, then the king and queen side by side. His fingers lingered on the queen, his gaze flicking to Elise with a playful smirk. “This one’s you. The most powerful piece on the board.”

I don't want the fun to end. I duck under and away from his hand, startling him enough to pull my other hand free of his. I continue to laugh, facing him as I slowly back away from him. I am a little surprised when the Master smiles along with me and takes slow steps toward me, saying, "You want to play?" I nod my head and then let out a slight yelp as he grabs for me and I hit one of the chaises, falling backward and rolling over the top to land on my butt on the other side. I look up into the surprised face of the Master and burst out laughing once more.

"I like this rebellious side of you. I was starting to think you're dim-witted." "She won't kill you." He added when I remained unwaveringly quiet. "If you love her why are you doing this? Why do you white men do this? I don't understand. I'm disgusting, you constantly tell me that. I know, Mast—" He glared at me. I wouldn't dare say his name. I wouldn't. He will forever be Master William to me. "I know I'm disgusting but why do you keep doing this. I suppose it's some sort of fun sport for you all."

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.

He thought of teaching a lesson to the disrespectful guy, as he spoke, "Why not try to poke these babies?" Gabriel sensed the trouble coming from far away and she tried to cover it but the guy took his chance saying, "Do you even know who you are challenging?" Noah only smiled replying, "Let's know then, enlighten us, please." The guy only smirked at him and puffed his tight chest as he said, "Lucious's name. I am the royal forth pillar of light." Noah raised a brow, "Pillar of light?" Now everyone in the stadium was quite shocked, but Himeko asked, "You don't know about the pillars of light? From which world do you really belong?"

"Samuel has the breath of a king, which is hard to find for outsiders. But I have been taught by a master and can see through it. I have lived my whole life. Except for the True God, there is no one else who can have this kind of breath. My son, do you understand?" Wang Dong frowned. "So today evening, you invited him to play chess?" "That's right." Mr. Wang nodded. "According to what the Tomes of Arcane said, the master once taught me life-and-death chess and told me that the one who could break this chess game must be a king who came and looked down on the world." Speaking of this, Wang Dong was puzzled. "Can the chess be played?" In his eyes, the black chess was bound to lose. How could h
