It's an expensive marble set, and he seems to be handling it with incredible care. As soon as it is set up, he sits down in front of it and begins to play both sides by himself.

He casually resets the board, then turns it so one side is facing away from himself and offers the other man a seat.

He points to the front row of white pieces, as they're on Angel's side. "These are your pawns. They can only move away from you, two spaces the first time you move them, and one space every other time." He just waits.

Arman reaches over to Angel's left-most side, and puts his index finger on each piece as he describes it and its uses. "First we have your rook. This piece moves in straight lines - forward and backward, left and right - as far as it can reach, unless the path is obstructed. Next to it, we have your knight. The knight moves in an L shape, going two spaces in any of the four directions, then one space perpendicular to that. It can hop over other pieces. The bishop is just like your rook, only it moves in diagonals, and the queen is a combination of both the rook and bishop. Your king can move one space in any direction." After that, he makes a move, mirroring Angel's. "Make sense?" Back to Top   Angel Black Agent Defense [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Gender: Posts: 677 Checkmate.

"I think I understand..." Then Angel would move the horse on the right side to sit at the far right side of the board. "Like that?"

"Like checkers, you can take an opponent's pieces by moving onto their spots. The objective, however, is to isolate the opponent's king with whatever you've got left on the board."
