Galactic Gambits (Chess Part Two)


You maybe realise to know that the game of chess is not confined to solely to humans. It has become popular throughout other galaxies and in some dimensions chess has involved past a mere strategic board game.

Take the Stfxthqs variations of chess for example. They have included a “Goes-back” move that allows a player, who may find himself in an awkward spot to insist that the game goes back a certain amount of moves to help correct whatever error he/she may have made. The roll of a dice does to determine just how many moves.

This of course gets tricky if any of the “Goes-back” moves were the result of a previous “Goes-back” variation. Often this results in violent frays, eventually broken up by the L.A.R.P.S (lethal Armed Riot-Patrol Squad).

The wisest species throughout the galaxies and dimensions warn against challenging any Stfxthqian to a game of chess, unless you are prepared to engage in mortal combat.
