[ you can do that.

The horse gives you the stink eye but doesn't move ;|a ]

[...I can't move until the white side takes a turn!!]

Oi, horse.

[ . . .

THE HORSE MOVES TO THE SQUARE YOU USED TO BE ON. ]

[...MOVES DIAGONALLY BACK TO CAPTURE IT !!!]

[ the horse snorts and when you step on its square it turns into a small ivory horse charm '-' ]

[this is goin in my pouch!!]

[ > white knight acquired ]

Anyone else?

[hopping onto another black square for expediency]

[ a white castle appears four squares over and one up ]

[don't mind me]

I take it you would rather play chess than go see what else there is.

[giku]

...A game is meant to be played, is it not?

I suppose so.

Lucky for you I can play any role.

...Are you going to play? You ought to be a knight.

Then I will be.

[which will conveniently allow me to go capture this rook. hops over to do that]

[ you capture it and gain a white castle ivory piec e]

Maybe we can get a full set.

[picks it up]

Perhaps. Though it's the king we really need to corner.

[looks for a king =|a?]

[ no but there is now a white queen piece, directly opposite of beato's position on the board ]

[...checking to see if she can do this without being endangered herself

if she can, TAKING THAT QUEEN

otherwise moving pretty far out of the way]
