It Is Both Horrible And Awful As Well As Intriguing To Me - Tumblr Posts

I'm bored with "smart guy characterisation being he wins effortlessly at chess". Chess should have more potential for characterisation.

"I think you're losing there."

"Nah, he's playing right into my hands."

"... you have one rook, a bishop, and seven pawns. He's lost one knight. What are you gonna do? Charge and turn 'em all into queens?"

"Let him whittle down the king's defences, republicanize the pawns, overthrow the monarchy, negotiate peace with this packet of smoky bacon crisps, and begin a glorious age of democratic rule by will of the common people."

"That's not how it works."

"Kinda did for Russia."
