Chess  is a strategic board game played with two players. Each player has sixteen pieces of varying powers, including a king, queen, knights, rooks, bishops, and pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the other player's king. This can be done by capturing the king or blocking all possible moves for the king so that it cannot avoid capture in the next turn cycle.

Hi guys and gals! I just found a new website called lichess.org. Check out my profile here, at https://lichess.org/@/MyLittleBronyDude

Tiny thing for a post. Typing up the second chapter to my second fanfic now. Still not going to be out anytime real soon, but at least there is forward progress. Since it's a chess scene that doesn't actually have any spelled out chess moves I don't really get a chance to put in what I think a ponyfied traditional chess layout is.

The two sides are night and day instead of white and black.

In possibly the biggest project up to date (87.5k words in the English version), repitter, with the help of FoxcubRandy and makise_homura translated Way To Go, Minuette, Way To Go! to Russian. As it's often the case, there are two versions available:

Don't ask why white had his rooks upside down. I don't get why he did that either.

Computer is saying: ''Greetings [name of user reading this]. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?''

So, as some of you know, I occasionally play chess. However, I noticed the distinct lack of a dedicated chess group on fimfiction, which was weird, given the groups on fimfic sometimes get almost as specific as derpibooru tags ("chessboard incorrectly oriented", anyone?). Don't worry, though, it's already fixed. I present to you my new group:

It is known that in Chess, what color you play as is not equal. White, going first, has a slight advantage. 

One “solution” I’ve seen around is various forms of “Real Time Chess.”

I made a new Chessverse story but I want to know if this needs editing?

The next chapter is on its way and I'm making good progress, so now I'm just keeping in touch with ya'll. Since I'm here I had a question for everyone. I didn't see anyone mention it but I was wondering if anyone got the reference that was Zee's screen-name.

It's kind of arcane so I wouldn't be surprised if it went unnoticed, but since it was more of just a private joke with myself and wasn't going to be relevant to the narrative I thought I'd share it with you all.

...even though the majority of chess stories I see in this world are NOT really my bag.

As I commented on gapty's latest chess story:

I love how this story is both about chess AND about life, and the protagonist's realizations about how to live it. She makes meaningful progress in personal growth during a chess game against Twilight Sparkle.

Oh my god I can't believe I finally did it. This story has been the the making for a long time, to give you a idea how long the reason I joined Fimfiction was to write a Chessverse story. At first my story got rejected by the group admin for my lack of writing skills and going back and reading it I can see that it was. So that put me off for a while. I became a lot more active in the group and kept trying to get people to help me and although some did I could never get the story to a level I

Hey, you know what makes me incredibly self conscious? Hearing someone else read my words. I'm all like 'no, you're reading that really well but I shouldn't have phrased that that way! Why did I use the word 'fight' in two sentences in a row!'

Nonetheless: this Reading of a Chess Story is very well produced, and the guy has a really nice voice.

Go have a listen plz.

Hello everyone, I know two blog posts in a row as well as two new stories how lucky are you.
