It is a skilful trap where you attack the king by pinning down the left side of his formation!!\\ box: in the case you moved the pawn in c3 (fifth move)\\ on the board: a strong attack from the black bishop and the black queen\\ under the board: the pawn in c3 gets in the way, and the pieces in the square cannot move, making it difficult for them to protect the king.\\ 4 kuro: and the pivot to defend is here in h3…\\ kuro: the anti-Marshall!!!\\ kuro: at a first glance it is a meaningless and plain move…\\ box: in the case you saw through the trap and played in h3\\ kuro but in this way you can protect from the strong attack, and make the left side of the formation take action…\\ it is like an investment for the future!!\\ right of the board: by playing the pawn in h3 you removed it from the trajectory of the strong attack.\\ left of the board: and because there is no pawn in c3 the other pieces can move easily.\\ ?: why did he play in such a way from the edge of the board?\\ ?: he just wasted a move.\\ kuro: this is something that people in the 18th century who don’t know many standard moves in chess are unable to understand.\\ it is a move that would trick even a grand master from the future…\\ kuro: I thought that I would never see such a thing in the monochrome, but to think that he would actually use it…\\ 5 kuro: siros!!\\ I will not let you play your game!!\\ si: he is still standing…\\ he is still standing, everyone…\\ si: strangely enough he is an opponent with a strong spirit, brace yourselves, my pawns.\\ shu: the flow of the match is different from what I had anticipated…\\ shu: could it be that siros is playing around out of one of his whims?\\ shu: heheh… he is not even breaking a sweat during the monochrome, a match that would make any adult feel tense…\\ 6 shu: this will be an easy victory as well.\\ shu: siros began to drive the turk into a corner.\\ shu: are things really going well?\\ if we lose philidor will be executed…\\ shu: and Austria will not be able to escape from its responsibilities toward france.\\ kem: no worries.

After the king’s death, several countries have betrayed him and began a war.\\ kem: and the head of the countries that betrayed the king was Prussia!!!\\ TLN: here for countries you have to consider the different small german principalities that constituted the sacred roman empire, that had the right to elect the emperor. Furthermore say that Prussia betrayed the king is incorrect, as Prussia was not part of the empire. The king of prussia was part of the assembly that elected the king as Elector of Brandenburg, so it was the elector of Brandeburg, who was also the king of prussia, that bretrayed the king (who in any case wanted to force the most important noble families of the empire to elect his daughter after his death).\\ Box: a reppresentation of the austrian succession war\\ King: austria\\ Knight: hungary\\ b. king: prussia\\ b bishop: france\\ 7 kem: after a fierce war, we were able to desperately defend the throne, but austria lost the Silesia.\\ note: at that time it was one of the most prosperous regions of the sacred roman empire.\\ kem: together with the life of a lot of low-rank retainers and normal people.\\ co: so that’s the reason why her majesty hates prussia…\\ jo: and now prussia is showing some suspicious movements together with england~~~\\ co: … there will be a war?\\ kem: her majesty is acting so that such a thing does not happen.\\ kem: and francisca is also fighting in secret.\\ 8 kem: the alliance with france is entering in its final phases.\\ kem: france’s greatest rival, England, is siding with prussia, therefore they will become our allies for sure.\\ kem: it seems that the judge will be from russia that is collaborating with us.\\ kem: if we are able to hold our ground on the monochrome, we can avoid an all out war.\\ fra: at last we will fight against prussia to get the Silesia back.\\ fra: and if I win…\\ fra: it will not be a make-shift peace but a real one…\\ fra: I’m sure that our master is doing his best as well…\\ 9 kem: I wonder what would have changed if she would have completed her training at that time…\\ kem: or maybe I should have brought her back to austria sooner…\\ fran: don’t worry, wolf-kun.\\ fran: I don’t want that you and the others go to war.\\ fra: if with chess I can protect everyone… and also you, wolf-kun…\\ 10 fra: I will fight to the uttermost end!!!\\ 13 box: she…\\ box: was too pure to stand on the battlefield…\\ box: her immature mind and body…\\ box: were eaten by resentment…\\ 14 ?: your majesty!\\ the Prussian army has invaded us…!!\\ box: francisca’s victory was not respected, and it ended up into nothing,\\ box: and then the seven years war begun.\\ box: and in order to make francisca recuperate, I married her and made her retire in a secluded place…\\ ?: baron kempelen!\\ ?: your villa…\\ your wife is…!!\\ 16 kem: … the cause of the fire was arson.\\ kem: and what we found in the remains of the fire was…\\ kem: francisca’s wedding ring and…\\ kem: a burned sword that definitely was decorated with the iron cross.\\ phil: the iron cross…\\ phil: the symbol of prussian’s ancestors… the Teutonic Order!!\\ phi: … in other words francisca was assassinated…!?\\ what did maria Teresa do…?\\ kem: I made a petition to her.\\ kem: but we were in the middle of a war… so both the investigation and the trial were not satisfactory and we could not find the truth…\\ kem: … I know that sooner or later, if I continue to involve me with the monochrome, I will find the people who killed francisca.\\ kem: and then I…\\ 17 kem: will compose my song of victory…\\ kem: with the chess that she loved so much.\\ phil: so you created the turk, and recruited kuromu…\\ you are quite selfish.\\ kem: I don’t think so.\\ so what will you do now?

chess is a game to drive into a corner the opponent’s king,\\ and there are 6 types of pieces that you can use.\\ text in black field: up: the type and the movements of the pieces\\down: how to distinguish them\\ even more down: height\\ first column:{ king (K)\\ right: the hearth and the centre of the game, if he is driven into a corner, it is game over\\ left: I cannot move a lot so the queen really frightens me… ah, but I can fight if I want, ok?\\ move: it can move of one square in every direction\\ shape: the cross ornament indicates that it is the most precious piece\\ } in the arrow on the right: tall\\ right of the arrow: the height of a piece is proportional to the importance of the piece itself\\ second column{ queen (Q) right: the lone woman of the group who boasts the highest battle power on the board\\ left: as the first lady I can move in every direction from my starting square <3\\ move: it can move freely in all the 8 directions\\ shape: the eight decorations indicate that it can move in all the 8 directions\\ } 13 third column{ Bishop (B) Right: it trusts into the enemy’s openings, it is an eccentric monk who cuts through the enemy’s lines\\ Left: it is not like I go and cut things… it is just that you are finished if you are on a square with the same colour of my initial one…\\ Move: it can move freely on the 4 diagonals\\ Shape: the diagonal cut indicates that it can move diagonally\\ } fourth column{ knight(N) right: a Pegasus that soars the skies and attacks with an irregular patterns\\ left: I’m a knight because I have an horse!\\ move: it can advance back and forth in the air in 8 particular places\\ shape: the way its neck is bent indicates that it can make L shaped movements } fifth column{ rook(R) right: even if it is a slow starter it is the fortress that represent the second strongest piece on the board\\ left: I’m a fortress that keeps watch, so I enter in the game only at the right time\\ move: it can move freely on the horizontal and vertical direction \\ shape: the four cuts indicate the four direction in which it can move\\ } arrow left: low\\ box: I will translate from German to English for you!!\\ 14 bear: by the way, you always draw some characteristic pictures that completely match my style.\\ wolf: not at the level of the cat on your apron, master…\\ wolf: and the pivot of his handicap in this match is…\\ wolf: the sixth and weakest piece…\\ wolf: the pawn.\\ wolf: they are foot soldiers who can advance of a single square at the time, but…\\ they have the special ability to move of two squares the first time.\\ wolf: however the shitty dog decided that for this time\\ they would move of a square in the first move as well.\\ wolf: look at the board.\\ 15 wolf: there are few white pieces in the centre, right?\\ wolf: generally controlling the centre is the key of the opening phase of a match.\\ wolf: if you can move of just one square at the beginning you will be slow with your advance in the centre.\\and there are a lot of pawn pieces, so the effect handicap is rather strong.\\ wolf: furthermore, the white pieces that the turk controls should be battling first… as the advantage of the white is to attack first.\\ wolf: the fact that the turk cannot do such a thing is an heavy handicap!!\\ ?: the white’s bishop has disappeared, the centre of the defence is already…\\ Frederic has the advantage in the centre… he will strike soon!\\ ??: hey give me a break, I bet 3 copper coins on the turk…\\ 16 wolf: he is the first person I ever saw using this kind of handicap…\\ I was really interested in how the match would unfold, but it must be more difficult than I expected.\\ bear: to think that the difference in just the first moves would bring to such a disadvantage…\\ bear: it is
