"Perfect! You'll be playing on my behalf!" Lorenzo declared, making me hiss mentally. Getting up from his seat, he signaled to take his seat. I turned my gaze towards Vincenzo but caught him already staring at me. First time since I've come here. Yes, I used to play chess, and I was champion at school, but how am I supposed to win against the devil sitting in front of me? As I sat taking the seat I could feel the anxiety taking over me. I shifted uncomfortably in my place and looked down at the chessboard.

The chess pieces were made of jade, and the chessboard was carved from a fine white jade that was very smooth and pleasant. Danny was still young, so even though he was intelligent, playing chess was still difficult. Dexie sat with him on the carpet next to Luke and played chess. Danny was quiet and didn't talk much while playing. At first, he was unfamiliar with the game, but after two

"Now it's Theodore and Sigourney's turn to give their gift. Your grandfather has been waiting eagerly for it." "He keeps glancing your way." Several of Tom's friends spoke in jest, and Sigourney and Theodore asked Butler Park to bring their gift over before stepping forward. They approached the sofa where Tom was seated. "Grandfather, Sigourney and I know you love playing chess, so we had a set of chess pieces crafted from precious gemstones just for you…” Theodore gently spoke to Tom as he opened an exquisite box in his hands. He could clearly see that at the mention of the chess set, Tom’s face lit up with anticipation.

" A battle of wits? Felix nodded without hesitation. If they could avoid hurting innocent people, that would be ideal. He was also curious about what Bonnie was really after. "Tell me, what kind of battle did you have in mind?" A flash of excitement crossed her face as Bonnie lowered her legs. With a wave of her right hand, a game board appeared on the table. It resembled chess, but not quite. With another wave of her hand, red and blue game pieces appeared on the board. Each piece looked like a tiny person without facial features, identical to each other. "The Humanoid Chess is a magical treasure the Ancient Sage bestowed upon me. Our battle of wits will be a game of chess."

"It can't be a draw. Your skill is definitely superior to mine. You're just going easy on me because of my age, right? I may be old, but I can still tell!" Branden smiled faintly and didn't respond. Catherine looked at the chess pieces on the table, each one smooth, round, and translucent, clearly of high quality. Thomas noticed Catherine's gaze and quickly showed off his new treasure. "Cassie, these chess pieces are made of emerald, which feels especially comfortable in hand. It's a gift from Branden," he said proudly. Catherine glanced at Branden, and they exchanged a meaningful look. She didn't expect him to be so good at pleasing people.

As the jet touched down, Alex noticed Sonia closing her eyes, her fingers pressed against her temples—a gesture he'd seen before when she was processing complex information. "Another memory?" he asked hopefully. "Not exactly," she answered, her brow furrowed. "More like... instinct. I've been in the villa before, in Carlos's private study. There was a chess set—" "His Staunton set," Alex interjected. "The one from the London tournament." Sonia nodded, her eyes brightening with recognition. "He always kept the black queen slightly out of alignment with the other pieces. He said it was a reminder that sometimes the most powerful piece works best from unexpected positions."

Luca whispered, "I officially understand where all the missing money went." Even Alexander couldn't hide his surprise. "This estate..." "It's beyond extravagant." The Patron smiled. "I built it over thirty years." "One stone at a time." --- Eventually... They entered an enormous circular hall. Its ceiling stretched nearly twenty meters high. At the center stood a giant chessboard carved into white and black marble. Every piece was life-sized. Kings. Queens. Knights. Bishops. All crafted from polished stone. The Patron slowly walked to the black king. "This..."

Though, I’m not sure that was what he was referring to. Doesn’t matter. He leaves me and I sip some more as I inch farther into the well-appointed room, clearly the sitting area. A nice blaze is crackling in the fireplace and there are two sofas and several chairs and accompanying tables. A chess set. Christ. Why do eccentric people always have chess sets at the ready?

Only then did Maxwell remember that he was still carrying the gift, so he hurried forward and opened the gift in front of Myles. After opening it was an antique chess box. In front of Myles, he slowly opened the chess box. Inside were two intricate round compartments with white and black chess pieces. The white pieces were slightly translucent in warm beige, while the black pieces were smooth and pure onyx black. The chess box unfolded into a chess board after turning it upside down, exuding a faint earthy fragrance. Although Sonnet did not know much about wood, she could feel that the material of this chess board must be made with high quality wood.
