Max had been playing chess for over 20 years. No one who played chess with him couldn't make it to 30 moves, but Grace was clearly better than him. "Max, you're too kind. My grandfather taught me chess when I was a child. I rarely play chess in my daily life." Max was shocked to hear that.

Everyone was fascinated by him. Thorne rolled his wheelchair over. Then, sitting across from William, he leisurely picked up the chessboard and began setting it up. William observed him, seeing him move slowly, and couldn't help but worry for him, "Can he play chess?" "I knew a little." "Have you been here before?"

It was there in case someone other than me got to this point of the process. He was also a big fan of the movie “WarGames” so I assumed he wanted me to play a nice game of chess and not global thermonuclear war. For a moment, though, I pondered how much power this machine in front of me actually had.

Cheryl “What are you? You think ten times faster than the average human,” Gavin teased, laughing. “I mean, Gavin’s the OG chess player, and you’re over here whooping his ass,” Isaac added with a grin. I shrugged. It wasn’t exactly news to me. I’d always been like this, though it mostly went unnoticed unless I was in school. And chess?

MICE PLAY IN THE ABSENCE OF CATS. Same as how the envious smaller gods play in the absence of bigger gods. This part happened somewhere between sacred nights and mornings. "The Montenegro child has already shown up." A young man gently pushed a pawn across the chessboard. Then, stopping his move right next to the White Queen, he settled the piece and looked up at his competitor. "Oh, she did?"

I took a step back and let them have it. Back at the main chamber, I found Schnell with Bob. They were—of all things—playing chess. With magnetic pieces. On a stolen Control board. “He’s cheating,” Schnell said without looking up. “You’re using equations to optimize your pawn structure,” Bob countered. “I call it even.” They both glanced at me. “Didn’t peg you two for bonding time.” Schnell grunted. “We are not bonding.” “Not in ze slightest,” Bob said at the same time.
