The description is kind of confusing "this is the story of a changeling known as 'Knightmare'. Selected to be Equestria's 'pawn' in the grand chess game began by Celestia, he arrives late and in the last kind of body he expected. Wandering the globe in search for the other humans" Searching for the other humans? the description said he was a changeling. is it a human who became a changeling or something?
1909540 Should you read the story you'd learn, yes, he's a human turned changeling...
In a collective collaborative universe with over two dozen humans turned into native equestrian species by various gods and goddesses for a rather immense game of God-scale Risk.
They still call it Chess, because Chess is classy.
1909552 oh oke, thanks
Which town got destroyed as knightmare was defending himself?![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)

It seem I have forgotten.
damn brain betraying me
anyway, good chapter and awesome weapons.
Still wondering what kind of weapons Aoi and Griffin would have received.
1910129 Ponyville got wrecked the hell up during Knightmare's first moments in Equestria.
And Griffin and aoi were gonna get the Force stealer[magic-eating lightsaber] and Genji Gloves[which let the wielder ltierally grab air] respectively.
Of COURSE the Samurai gets Genji gear.
Just.......
mindblown by those weapons and their potential
1910156 five bits says Knightmare's the only one wo uses theirs.
but, but, those weapons aren't his![:pinkiegasp:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiegasp.png)
1910180 when I said 'theirs' I meant the ones that were given tot hem. as in Knightmare will use Twinkle, but he's likely the oly one to use the one given to him.
whoops, small misunderstanding.
1910193 meh, they happen
1909552 Risk is a fun game. I quite enjoy playing it.
1910763 Yes, but awesome and fun as it is, it's not FANCY! Hence, Chess. otherwise we'd just call it The RiskGame of the Gods....doesn't quite roll off the tongue as easily]
1910775 But I suck at chess, and my brother was in a national chess federation.
I can't remember what each piece does.
1910794 me neither. but that doesn't stop me from doing research to use acurate chess analogies.
1910808 I would, but I'm lazy and search engines take forever to load on my laptop.
1911795 I'm actually placing FNTK on hiatus until I can get it all sorted out.
1910137 so will they ever actually get their weapons or no?
I think you can tell what's wrong.
Rarity got a whip. Kinky.
Hah: Dragon Stopper.
And for a moment I thought Flutter would get a healing tool. Oh well, summoner (sorta) works too.
1917108 It's a long story and this chapter is set a long time in the future. and by 'a long time', I'm talking severl YEARS.

Most of the "Chess Players", as you call them, are gods from different worlds, realities, and religions. The Chess Game of the Gods was a tournament set up by Discord on the same world Equestria is in. The gods, which are unable to directly confront each other directly, must summon champions to fight for them. Apart from summoning champions, or chess pieces, as well as some equipment/weapons, the gods are supposed to interfere as little as possible throughout the pieces journey. Some of the more powerful gods might send large groups of mortals onto the "chess board", in which lesser immortals can claim. The winner is the immortal whose champion survives the longest. No champion is allowed to be of the planets main species (pony) or whatever the champions original species was. Gods can steal other players under certain circumstances. They Gods are playing a chess game, only immortals can play, and mortals from all over the multiverse are the pieces that the gods use to play.
This is as good a job as I can do at the moment to answer your last question. Yes, I threw in a bunch of other info as well. Deal with it. Also, yes, many gods are only doing it for there own sick amusement, cause why not, most gods don't have too many other things to do any more, seeing how they are rarely called upon any more.
As for your other questions, no idea about Trixie, Nightmare was brought back using the armour shard from the thing that corrupted Octavia. That's about it.
1917961 I'd spoil Trixie, but there's hints in the chapter she shows up and in the revised Prologue I made as to why she's showing up. Also, thank you for explaining that, and most of them have reasons other than 'sick amusement', though that IS Discords entire reason for starting this mayhem.
awesome story but now im depressed because another one of the stories i love are on haitus

It's simple as rank system.
Full article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess
Pawn is "weakest", but still can take out any figure if it is near. One step forward or one step forward and side-wise to "kill".
Knight or horse. Г movement. Any direction. Kills any enemy under his steps.
Bishop: Moves in straight line, but his movements are limited by X letter (bishop at crossing part of letter).
Rook. Same as Bishop, but uses + for movement. Straight line any way.
Queen or "I do what I want". Moves any direction in a straight line.
King. Any direction, one step. Most valuable figure.
See? Simple.![:twilightsheepish:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsheepish.png)
Also why chess game? Because for gods each character is a Pawn or any other chess figure (depends on movement range, abilities and etc).
But instead of normal chess game where two players battle for dominance on one battle zone here each player has one piece. Which makes it kinda different chess.
If you watch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durarara!! you will understand that some players can be inside game (be a chess piece AND a player) and game might look just plain odd for someone outside of plan.
So yea. It is still chess, but different kind. Where you tell your piece to go somewhere and do something. It is based on manipulation, interaction and using of mutual interests of pieces to own benefit.
Example. Piece A wants to go to location 8.
Piece B is about to go to location 8 and has transport.
Piece A can interact with B for faster travel (Griffin took Aoi on board and delivered him).
However, if player of Piece B sees that Piece A can be harmful to his piece he/she might want to force Piece to decline in any way possible.
Check Ivan the Zebra for more notes on manipulation.

I hope this was helpful.![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
If not. Imagine that you have friends.![:twistnerd:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twistnerd.png)
You want a cake. For free.
You make your friends give you cake for free. How you do it? Well, that is up to you.
Bigger scale? Politics.
1930916 Yeah, pretty much. Though the term 'pawn' is used for native allies of the Pieces. Characters like Gilda, Derpy, or Nyx are considered 'pawns'.
Vital, albeit weak pieces like Echo are Kings.
Devastating powerhouses like Griffin and Ember are Queens, so on and so forth.
2082180 And what a fitting name for a user who's birthday is on an actual real-world holiday that is rarely practiced anymore due to the inherent insanity of it.
Trying to read through all of the bits of "CGotG" but trying to read this...Where am I supposed to start?????
2329530 it's been going through a bit of a re-write lately, I'm still working on it.
FNTK re-written part 1 Start there.
2330203and then skip to the old chapter 4?
2330212 yup. the 'old' chapters will be overhauled over time and replaced wiht the new ones as I'm able to get them done, which isn't right now.
2330310
Okay. I were just cunfruzed. although, skipping the gala threw me as well. I'll get there eventually
2330497 You SKIPPED the GALA!?
That's the biggest chunk of stuff I've GOT.
Though feel free to read the non-canon and semi-canon stuff that's befor ehte main story[any Musical Mayhems and Visions of the Future/Echoes of the Past will be posted ahead of the main storyline.]
2331086
I didn't skip! That last Reborn chapter says three and the gala chapters CLEARLY say 4. Also, the music visions were what confused me iin the first place
2331131 The 'Musical MAyhem' chapters are, USUALLY, canon but music-focussed chapters I wrote for the lulz.
The Visions of the Future chapters are tidbits of what I[and the other Chessverse authors] have been planning a long ways into the future.
Like...a decade/
2331252
Huh. Sounds fun to be a part of this author-y stuff. Well, I finally got to the GGG bits but...I'm still confused, though not as badly. You don't explain a lot of stuff or don't explain it deeply enough, SO I got confused a lot. It kinda feels like you've ended up letting the other authors explain the whole GGG thing and you just add in bits and pieces. Like, I definitely think there's an entire scene missing somewhere. But whatevs. Hopefully I didn't actually get a headache from being so confused. Pretty sure it's from something else
2331900 no, the GGG is the un-revised portion so it's gonna be a big transition from one to the next and it's gonna make your head spin for a bit, it's kinda my freaky, funky, rreally irritating writing style. I'm trying to fix it but, well, let's jsut say I got bigger issues right now...
2331988
Not a worry. I understand it isn't easy to change one's writing style and certainly no easy task to go back and revise stuff. Though I have to say, your revised chapters do a better job of explaining stuff. Still a little lacking but much better. I actually understand what's going on with those chapters, at least somewhat. I think, as long as you make sure you've actually explained all the bits. There were a lot of times with the GGG stuff that you just suddenly started using phrases or names that never got introduced. That's the only thing I can think of. You need more of teh expositionz
2332140 I know.
trust me, I know.
2332169
Sorrz. I leave it be.. Looking forward to your work! You really are improving. But, before my dwarf-ly instincts kick in and I dig a deeper hole I shall leave.
IGNOOOOOOOOOORE MEEEE!
How is this in the featured box again?! How did it happen?!
2421716 I added a new chapter. Check around the middle area for it.
Also 'WOOT! Featue box within ten minutes!' because yeah. But yeh, there's a new chapter, though it's post-EndGame and has to do with the death Battle: Equestria tournament as oppose ot the main plot.
But it does mention tht I have a GhostWriter, meaning I'll be getting new chapters out with alot of help from Tethhrion.
2421726 Now I'm curious about something. I jumped ship on this, and the chess game as a whole, right at the end of the gala. I've heard there have been extensive edits and this story isn't made of brain poison anymore. True or false?
2423349 I reference damn near everything, dude.
heh.
I gotta say... On the cover art, Shining Armour looks like a tool.
2440957 I plan on getting new cover art made for FNTK done by Io Kusanagi, as the previous artist was, well, not really 'feeling it'. [i.e. he ever read the story, and it was free so I had no right to complain, regardless of how mcuh I didn't like the end result.]
2441053 I've found that Io does a lot of CGotG covers.
2441061 because he's a friggin' badass artist, and is one fo the major CGotG authors.
2332187 No.
2441207 tat's my ghostwriter you're talking too, dinchaknow.
