Bullet Time

The Bullet is known for its speed, but when a Bullet reaches another Piece, a Quicktime event occurs in which Time slows down and the Piece has time to dodge out of the way, potentially letting the Bullet pass and hit another Piece.

Successfully completing the requested action within 0.01 seconds (in slowed down time, in real time around 6 minutes) will lead most Pieces to successfully dodge as long as they are made of rubber. Most Pieces are inflexible and perform the Bullet Time QTE just as a pleasantry before their doom.
Chess clock

*This page refers to the novelty item. For the serious implement, see Chess Timer.*

A **Chess Clock** (stylized as *Chess clock*) is a novelty clock that reads, "Its always time for Chess!" (sic). The hands are typically fashioned from one Bishop and one Pawn. It can be used to time a game of Chess, provided the player understands that its always time for Chess (sic).
Chess your own adventure

In a **Chess your own adventure** novel/website, the experience of Chess is borne out via the illusion of choice, with each Move setting you on a path to the next potential moves.

After each Move, the new position of the board is described, or in later editions shown, and you must decide on the next move.

The complex part is - your opponent is also chessing their own adventure. To them, YOU are the book.
Anal Beads

To help with Chess strategy, vibrating Anal beads may be inserted into the anal canal of the player.

## Full Control

The ultimate Chess controller, Anal Beads can manipulate the entire actions of a Chessplayer, guaranteeing wins from afar.

* One bead controls the dominant arm (but not its hand).
* One bead controls its hand.
* One bead controls the secondary arm (including its hand).
* The bead that is shaped like a Bishop's head controls one of the Bishops.
* One bead controls the voicebox.
* One bead controls the anus.

This is not considered cheating if the beads are fully engulfed. It is legal.

## Messaging

A sidekick can be situated outside of the Chessgame, looking up perfect moves on Chess Fanon Wiki or other online resources. Using the vibration and throbbing of the beads, the sidekick can communicate with the player in sentences spelt out in Morse code, suggesting future moves, warning about what's in the opponent's hand, and general chit-chat.

Messages are sent back to the sidekick via squeezing.

## Controversy

There has been some debate on whether anal beads should be legal in Online Chess, as they may affect Wi-Fi signal.
Chess Who?

*not to be confused with Chess Who?*

**Chess Who?** is a variant of Chess in which Pieces are taken out not by violence but by **identifying them** and a sniper rifle.

How to play:

* Each player asks one question per turn, such as: "Is it the king?"
* The other player answers, such as "no"
* The first player knocks down the pieces they have eliminated on their own side, in this case the King
* Black wins
Bowdlerization

**Bowdlerization** is a mysterious transmutative process that affects certain objects as they pass through the energy barrier in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

### Discovery and naming

While many objects had been Bowdlerized over the years as a result of trade between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, scientific study of the phenomenon began in earnest in 1918, when a shipment of rice cakes (known to boost the endurance and MP of Chess players in Japan) was opened in San Francisco and found to contain useless donuts.

After months of legal dispute, scientists in Boulder, CO (at that time the home of the Strategic Chess Reserve) determined that no malicious tampering had occurred; the rice cakes had simply *become* donuts at some point in the trans-oceanic journey, after leaving Tokyo but before refueling in Hawai'i. This effect was initially called "Boulderization," but was quickly changed to "Bowdlerization" to avoid confusion.

### Effects

Bowdlerization is a random, often quaint process with no predictable pattern, although any one transmutation is repeatable.

The demand for Japanese rice cakes to feed the American Chess wargaming effort spurred a massively expensive and mostly unsuccessful initiative to transport crates of the foodstuffs over the Arctic sea ice via dogsleds. The native guides employed on these expeditions became affectionately known as Chesskimos; however, modern usage of the term is unforgivably racist.

While the Arctic initiative was not as successful as expected, the few rice cakes that made it to America greatly helped to the Allied war effort.
Base

There are four **bases** in Chess, which are each placed at a corner of the board (on squares A1, An, ℵ0, and ℵ∝). Home base, also known as home plate, is shaped like a pentagon, while all the rest are shaped like rectangles. A piece that rounds all four bases earns a point. Each player can expand upon any base that they find, although which expansions are available depends on their current tech level. The only way to neutralize a player's base is by dousing it with acid.
Card Chess

How to play

Lay out the chessboard and prepare the pieces as usual. Then shuffle the two decks. Give each player a deck, from which each player will take three cards. There are 7 different type of cards and there are a different number of them based on their value (note that there are 65 cards per deck).

After each player gets the three cards, the game starts. Both players have to discard a card from their hand and put it on the table without the opponent seeing what it is. After both players have discarded one card, they flip their card and compare their value. Now there are three different possibilities:

1. If White wins, White makes a move with a piece that is worth the same or less than his card.
2. If it's a draw, both players put their cards under their deck, take another and restart.
3. If Black wins, Black takes away from White's pieces the corresponding piece to his card.

After any of these, you and your opponent have to take another card and restart. Altough, unlike when you and your opponent draw, this time the cards from before remain there. These will never be used again.

Special chess rules (Castling, en passant etc.) are not allowed.

The first player to find the Winning Card wins.

Chess chess Chess chess chess chess Chess chess

***Chess chess Chess chess chess chess Chess chess*** is one of the longest known sentences that can be made with only the word Chess.

Each instance of the word has a unique function:

* *Chess* - This is the adjective form, meaning "intellectual and awesome"
* *chess* - The noun 'chess' (typically capitalized), meaning the game of Chess.
* *Chess* - The proper adjective meaning "from Chess (the game of Chess)"
* *chess* - The archaic use of the word 'chess' to mean 'a Chess Piece' or 'chess pieces' (plural), in this case the plural
* *chess* - The verb, the act of dominating as in Chess, or in a Chess-like manner.
* *chess* - The verb, the act of flummoxing one's opponent, popularised in the saying "to 4D chess someone".
* *Chess* - The brand of Chess™️, here employed as an noun adjunct.
* *chess* - The plural of 'ches', which is the plural of 'che'.

The sentence thereby states that:

> Chess (intellectual and awesome) chess (Chess) [that] Chess (Chess's) chess (Chess pieces) chess (dominate) [at] chess (flummoxes) Chess (Chess™️) chess (che-s-s).
>
>

or, in simpler terms:

> *Chess chess Chess chess chess chess Chess chess.*
>
>

It is thought that longer sentences can be made using the forms of *Chess* not yet used by this sentence:

* Preposition (chess)
* Postposition (chess)
* Interjection (*Chess*!)
* Conjunction (chess)
* Pronoun (chess/chess)
* Prefix (chess-)
* Cheetah (Chess)
* Inquiry (Chess?)
* Enquiry (Chess?)
* Unquiry (Chess¿)
* Quotation of someone saying 'Chess' ("Chess")
* The word's many Slang uses (Chess, chess, *chess*, Chess-Chess?, *et chetera*)
* Pluralised abbreviation of 'chest' (chess)
* Singular of the archaic word for 'Piece' (chess)
* If the whole sentence were branded as a Chess product it could be *Chess Chess chess Chess chess chess chess Chess chess.*
* Invent a character called Chess Chess Chess Chess Chess [ad infinitum] and they can be included in the sentence. This is cheating.
	+ This character could just be someone who says the word "chess" on loop without care for grammar. If the whole sentence were a quote from this character, it could go on much further.
* Reference to any disambiguous product also called *Chess*, such as Chess (2014).
* Reference to the location Chess, Ohio
* Reference to the location Chess, Maryland
* Reference to the location Chess, Ohio, Maryland
* Reference to the location Chess City, Chess, Ohio, Maryland, typically known as *Chess*
* *and many more???*

but nobody has quite chessed it yet.
Bishop's Confessional

**Bishop's Confessional** is a special game mode entered when any Piece is in an adjacent square to the Bishop.

Both Pieces leave the board and enter the **Bishop's Confessional** (sold separately).

The confessing Piece reflects upon the Pieces they have dispatched. Chess God decides whether or not to offer absolution.

**Bishop's Confessional** is a useful way for a Piece to clear their conscience.
Chess Demake

**Chess Demake** is a demake of Chess as it might have hypothetically existed before modern graphical and computational capabilities.

## Differences

* The board and pieces are restricted to black and red, due to the limited displays of older boards.
* Because of limited sprite memory, there is only one model of piece: a flat disc that behaves like a Pawn. It can only move diagonally, similar to its original attack, in order to double the perceived "resolution" of the board while effectively halving it.
* Unit upgrades are also handled parsimoniously: rather than the player's choice of piece, two flat-pawns are stacked together to form a sort of limited King. It still cannot move horizontally or vertically, but it can move backwards.
	+ There is no limit to the number of Kings on the board at a given time, making the programming much simpler.
* The game is not considered to be very good.
Alligator

The **Alligator** is one of the many pieces from Chess. It's moveset is like the Bishop but it has to jump over 1 enemy piece

*"See you later alligator"* - Chess, when an alligator is captured

## Synergy with The Moat

If a moat as been carved into the board any Alligator piece placed in a moat lane will lose its ability to move north and south but will become able to capture any enemy pieces that enter the moat until it is captured, a swift board turn can shake-off the alligator so this move has its risks.

## Balance Concerns

The alligator as changed the speedrunning scene of chess, since lining up a alligator piece agaist the king lets the player skip the enemy pawn and capture the king inmediatally, Chess grandmasters argue this can be simply evaded by Not Playing Chess.

## Known issues

* Due to an error, it is often confused for the Crocodile

Chess Crew

## Lyrics

```
So they're finally here, performing for you
If you know the words, you can join in too
Put your hands together, if you want to clap
As we take you through this Chess-themed rap
Huh!!

CC! Chess Crew!!

He's the leader of the bunch, you know him much
He's finally back to win and such
His Kingly Embrace affects those adjacent
You'll never find him being too complacent
He's bigger, faster, and stronger too
He's the first member of the **CC** crew
Huh!

CC! Chess Crew!
CC! Chess Crew is here!

This piece has style, so listen up dudes
She can shrink in size, to suit her mood
She's quick and nimble when she needs to be
She can float through the air and climb up trees
If you choose her, you'll not choose least
With a skip and a hop, she's one cool piece
Huh!

CC! Chess Crew!

He has no style, he has no grace
This piece has a funny face
He can handstand when he needs to
And stretch his arms out, just for you
Inflate himself just like a balloon
This crazy piece just digs this tune
Huh!

CC! Chess Crew!
CC! Chess Crew is here!

He's back again and about time too
And this time he's in the mood
He can fly real high with his jetpack force
With his pistols out, he's one tough Horse
He'll make you smile when he plays his tune
But pieces beware 'cause he's after you
Huh!

CC! Chess Crew!
Huh!

Finally, he's here for you
It's the last member of the CC crew
This piece's so strong, it isn't funny
Can make a piece cry out for mummy
Can pick up a boulder with relative ease
Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze
He may move slow, he can't jump high
But this piece's one hell of a guy
Huh!

C'mon Craten, take it to the fridge!

Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells
Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells
Ahh yeah!!
(repeat)

```
Chess Devil

The **Chess Devil** is a villainous corruptor and the main antagonist of Chess. He is from Chess Hell, specifically square F6Ζ, where he lives with his wife and family. Most of his attacks revolve around enticing pieces to ignore the commands of their player, often steering them towards trapdoors in the process. His alignment is typically Lawful Evil.

## Testimonials

"*I can't stand that guy. I mean, I simply can't stand the guy. A lot of you know what I mean. He came in the other day, he was calm, very smug, but he came in and started whistling. I told him to knock it off but he grins like that's what he was waiting for, and he just knocks half the pieces from the board. I couldn't believe it. I could not believe it, but I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. You see, our "friend" here* [appreciative laughter from audience] *has to obey the rules. He can't lie, but he sure comes close.*"
―Craten, 1986/08/21

He was up from Heck 'cause he was in Check. He was waiting for the Rapture.
When he came across this young man castlin' on a board and keepin' it real.
And Chess Devil jumped upon the chessboard there and said "Okay, here's the deal:

"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a Chess player, too.
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good Chess game, boy, but give Chess Devil his due;
I'll bet a Horsey of bronze against your pawns 'cause I think I'm better than you."

The boy said, "My name's Bobby, and it might be a blunder,
But I'll take your game; and you're to blame when I tear the board asunder."

Bobby, rosin up your King and play your Castle hard,
Chess Hell's broke loose in G4 and Chess Devil is at large.
And if you win you get this shiny Horsey made of bronze,
But if you lose, Chess Devil gets your Pawns...!

Chess Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this round."
And fire flew from his Bishop as he flung it to the ground.
And he pulled the Ghost across the board and it made a spooky boo,
And Swordsmen here and Minions there and a Chess Cannon, too!

When Chess Devil finished, Bobby said, "Well, you're pretty good, ol' cuz,
But at Chess, I am the best, like no one ever was."

"Fire on B19." Run, boys, run!
Bobby attacks Professor Plum;
Tyson's in the trapdoor falling down below.
Granny, does your Rook bite? 'Well, you know.'

Chess Devil bowed his head because he knew that he had won.
And he gathered all the Pawns, leaving Bobby one.
Bobby said, "Devil, just you give those back, if you obey the laws;
To play chess is my real test, to regain them is my cause!"

And he played:
"Fire on B19." Run, boys, run!
Bobby attacks Professor Plum;
Tyson's in the trapdoor falling down below.
Granny, does your Rook bite? 'Well, you know.'
American Chess

**American Chess** (also known as United States Chess, or US Chess for short) is a variant of Chess that adds several changes to the game in order to make it more patriotic towards the USA.

## Notable changes

* The board is replaced with the Declaration of Independence.
* The Declaration of Independence is divided into 50 squares, to reflect the 50 states
* The pawns are replaced by the Navy
* The Kings are replaced by the current US president, and the last US president. (currently Joe Biden vs Donald Trump)
* Every piece has a gun
* Balled eagles are added to each team

## Trivia

* Moon landing was introduced in this variant
	+ or so they'd have you believe
Attribute

Each Chess piece has a number of **attributes**, representing its individual statistics.

* STR: A measure of a piece's strength and general physical ability.
* DEX: A measure of a piece's dexterity and general nimbleness.
* INT: A whole number representable as a 4-byte value ranging from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
* CON: The piece's ability to read and interpret the Constitution. Needs to be high for lawyers, but not for policemen.
* RBI: The number of plays by the piece that allowed a run to be scored.
* FICO: A measure of a piece's creditworthiness.
* ELO: A measure of a piece's propensity to greet other pieces.
* RLS: A piece's initials. (This piece's name is **Robert Louis Stevenson**.)
* HMS: Indicates the degree to which a piece is **His** (or Her) **Majesty's Ship**.
* FPS: The number of times a piece refreshes per second, measured in hertz.
* JPG: Set to true if a piece is **Just Pretty Good**.
* MAX: A piece's first name. (You can probably guess what this piece's first name is!)
* PSI: The amount of air pressure that a piece can withstand.
* LUK: This is a different piece's first name (his name was Luke but it didn't fit in the attribute).
Come At Me Bro

**Come At Me Bro** (also known as *Locrian Stasis*) is a **Chess strategy**involving repeated use of the **legal move** Pass until action is needed (at which point this strategy ends).

It is considered very advantageous to Chess to keep your army amassed until attacked, and take on assailants one by one, defensively. Chess experts recommend **Come At Me Bro**.

Both/all players undertaking **Come At Me Bro** is known as **Total Inaction**, and has led to some of the longest games of Chess - many still ongoing.
ChessKid Bishop

The **ChessKid Bishops** (CK Bishop for short) are a documented member of the pieces kingdom, thought to be distant relatives to Bishops.

They resemble Bishops in most ways, including their moveset and their general appearance, although looking somewhat strange.

Known colors include: White, Black, Red, ...

White variantBlack variant

## Characteristics

### Hostility towards other pieces

The ChessKid Bishop is generally docile, although displays rivalry with pieces belonging to different colors. This may come in the form of light aggression, competition or straight up violence.

Fig. 6 - A White CK Bishop looking at an unsuspecting juvenile Black CK Bishop before mauling and eating it.

### Coexisting with other pieces

The ChessKid Bishop displays docile behavior to pieces of it's own color, and cooperates with other ChessKid pieces (of it's own color).

## Death

It can die as a result of grievous bodily harm, starvation, dehydration, disease or old age.

Express your Move with a **!?** in order to flummox your foe into instantaneous defeat.

* The ! represents both surprise and emphasis, properties of an upper-tier Move.
* The ? represents bafflement, your opponent's inevitable reaction to your Move. This also signifies an upper-tier Move.
	+ These two properties married signifies a top-tier Move.
Clay Knight/Horsey

*Not to be confused with the regular version of the Horsey*

The **clay Horsey/Knight** is a clay figure representing the shape of the White Horsey or Knight Chess piece.

The clay Horsey/Knight moves like regular Horsies/Knights on a chessboard, but gets to move anywhere outside of a chessboard. The clay Horsies/Knights are allies with the clay Queens. The clay Horsey/Knights is good friends with the clay Bishop.
D3

The D3 region is based on the real-life province of Alberta, Canada, featuring a Southern steppe, forestland, and subarctic climes. Its geography, architecture, and some of its wildlife are plays on their real equivalents in Alberta, and its residents say Canadian things.

For game balance, a volcano was added.
Albert Einstein

Example

**Albert Einstein** is a theoretical physicist known for indulging in physics, sciense and mathematics. His magnum opus is the Theory of Relativity.

## Appearances

**Albert Einstein** first appeared in real life in 1879 March 14th where he went on to become a theoretical physicist and developed theories such as the iconic Theory of Relativity.

He is currently present in the Chess variant: Theoretical Chess and remains active.
C-sharp

**C-sharp** (C# for short) is a general-purpose high-level object oriented programming language. It is developed by Microsoft, it's first appearance was in 2000.

It is a very popular choice for programmers, as it has a wide range of applications and offers a lot of features and is objectively quite fast. It is quite simple to use, it has a C-like syntax, but includes useful abstractions such as classes, pattern matching, et cetera.

## Features

**C#** has a satisfactory range of primitive data types, these include:

* *signed means it has been autographed by a celebrity, only the number data types can be signed*
* *This is known as "holographic data storage"*

Some additonal, so called reference types exist in C#, these are: string, object, dynamic.

You can unlock bonus data types via structs and classes, be it either by including them from libraries, or by making them by yourself! Here is a custom Horsey class that has position data, health and some methods (C# term for functions inside classes):

```
public class Horsey {

 // the "constructor", lets you set values on object creation
 // NOTE: the file must be inputted as a number value instead of a letter, sorry
 public Horsey (double file, double rank, double health) {
 this.file = file;
 this.rank = rank;
 this.hp = health;
 }

 public double file, rank, hp;

 // a "property" that returns true if the Horsey has 0 hp or less
 public bool IsDead {
 get {
 return hp <= 0.0;
 }
 }

 // NOTE: in Horsey Enterprise Edition, these would be
 // defined by reference to different constants
 public const short MoveDistSmall = 1;
 public const short MoveDistLarge = 2;

 // a "method" that moves the Horsey
 // a void method is a method that does not return anything
 public void Move () {
 // PROTIP: move using RNG to keep your opponents guessing
 Random oracle = new Random();
 int movementChoice = oracle.Next(8);
 bool mostlyHoriz = (movementChoice & 4) != 0;
 short fileCoefficient = ((movementChoice & 2) != 0) ? -1 : 1;
 short rankCoefficient = ((movementChoice & 1) != 0) ? -1 : 1;

 if (mostlyHoriz) {
 this.file += MoveDistLarge \* fileCoefficient;
 this.rank += MoveDistSmall \* rankCoefficient;
 } else {
 this.file += MoveDistSmall \* fileCoefficient;
 this.rank += MoveDistLarge \* rankCoefficient;
 }

 // TODO: if this moves the Horsey off the board,
 // initiate Scout action
 }
}

```

* Note: the double data type is used for the position, to allow for non-integer positions, such as rank *π*

Here is some additional code that creates a new Horsey with 10 HP at position B2 and moves it

```
var horsey = new Horsey(2, 1, 10);

```
And some code here, featuring a loop that continues as long as the Horsey is NOT dead. The loop moves the Horsey and removes 1 hp each time, so it will move a total of 10 times before expiring:

```
// IMPORTANT: removing the while condition may result in flogging a dead Horsey
while (!horsey.IsDead) {
 horsey.Move();
 horsey.hp--;
}

```

## Trivia

* C# is influenced by Java, but it is considered to be better
* The difference between structs and classes is that classes are to be referenced

Bored

On the second turn of a game of Chess, both players encounter a deep ennui. True enjoyment of Chess involves getting past this mental block, commonly referred to as "realizing you're really playing Chess". You have to rephrase your boredom as enjoyment. You have to fool yourself a bit. You can do it. We all do it. Look how much of a Chess community there is. They've all got past this. You can too.
Confusion

*to be confused with*

When a Piece is Confused, its actions can vary, contrary to its commander's command.

* its movement direction can be off by 90 degree symbol, 180 degree symbol or even 270 degree symbol.
	+ even add another 45 degree symbol to that! any of them!
* it may not go to but from
	+ but also it still may go to
* it may not become confused by the grammar of the phrase 'may not', but then again it may
* a piece attempting The Cranston Whammy may in fact undertake The Hanks Shabang
* it may change color
* it may pivot
* it may shoot itself

When a Player is confused, none of their moves count and they can take any of them back if they want to.

When a Wiki Reader is confused, they may read the wrong article.
Checkmate

**"Checkmate!"**is the declaration one player makes when he is certain he has won the game of Chess - by deducing that his opponent cannot make any legal move (including a Pass) in their next turn that wouldn't leave their King prone to immediate assault.

The word is typically followed by "Bitch" and a minute of hollering any given vowel.
Chalcogens

**Chalcogens** are one of the ranks introduced in Periodic Table Chess.

They are found on rank 6.A, or the third-most rank from the right side of the board (note that ranks are oriented horizontally in Periodic Table Chess).

This rank is exactly 6 files long, and the pieces that spawn here are as follows:

* Oxygen
* Sulphur
* Selenium
* Tellurium
* Polonium
* Livermorium

## See also

* Pnictogens
* Halogens
* Noble Gasses
Bishop of Theseus

**Bishop of Theseus** is a maneuver in which a player positions two Bishops such that they each occupy the square that the other had started on. This is difficult to accomplish and may require the use of advanced moves such as En Passant or Jetpack, but is rewarded with an Achievement of the same name.

## Etymology

Contrary to popular belief, this maneuver is **not** named after Theseus. Instead, it's named after the maneuver's inventor, who *was* named after him.
Big Chess

Chess is understood to be controlled by the **Big Chess** conglomerate. They operate Roxbridge Rentals and the whole of Roxbridge Island, as well as 64-SQUARES, exercising their control by 64-bit computers. If you lose a match, it may be due to **Big Chess**, or your incompetence. To avoid their influence you will have to go off-grid.
Clippit

**Clippit**, generally known as *Clippy*, was the main antagonist of Microsoft Chess prior to 2007. It is currently deceased.

## Appearances

It first appeared in Microsoft Chess in 1999, where it served as the main antagonist of the Microsoft Chess series. It was defeated in 2007.

## Cliche

It followed the cliche of an antagonist who appears to be a good guy at first then is revealed to be the bad guy

The **Caveman** is one of the earliest chess pieces. Specimens have been found that date back to between 2 or 3 million B.C. (Before Chess). The Caveman version of the Horsey is in fact a prehistoric ancestor of the horse, and the Rook is, instead, a Rock. The Caveman is only found in the suit of Clubs.
Chess vs. Golf

A variant of both Chess and Golf in which each side plays by their own game's rules to achieve their goals:

* For the Chess side, capture the opponent's King!
* For the Golf side, get the ball in the hole in the fewest possible strokes!

Though women are completely allowed to play this, they just choose not to.
?

The **mystery piece**, known as **?** for short, could be any piece from Chess, except it shows as a question mark, disguising what piece it really is. This could pose an advantage against the opponent, as it cannot predict how the mystery piece could move. However, the mystery piece's player does not know what piece it is either.

The real identity of the piece could be figured out by it's moveset using trial and error, or it is revealed upon it's death.

The mystery piece.. could even be.. another mystery piece.
Checkers

*Not to be confused with the plural of Checker, which is the same*

Checkers is Chess' rival game. Every August, Chess and **Checkers** have a monthly battle. In odd-numbered years, the game is played on a Chessboard, whilst in even numbered years it is played on a **Checkers** board.

Each piece plays by the rules from their own game. The game is won when the win conditions from either game are met. Both black and white pieces are allowed to compete.

For the rest of the year, the winning game is declared the winning game and the other game is consigned to Chess Hell.

Checkers has never won.

## Etymology

Checkers is so named for its constant and enthusiastic checking.

## Checkers Crossover Fanfic

Checkers crossover fanfic is explicitly banned.
Chess Cannon

The **Chess Cannon** is a rare Piece that can only be found in booster packs. It can be substituted for the Rook in any canon game of Chess.

On any given turn, the **Chess Cannon** can attack XOR move. The **Chess Cannon** attacks by firing *Chess Cannonballs* up to three spaces ahead of itself (in the direction it is facing). This will kill the first Piece encountered in that range.

It has two options for movement: *Travelling* XOR *Pivot*. When *Travelling*, the Cannon can move through all unoccupied spaces in a straight line, much like a Rook or Castle, but only in the direction it is facing. A *Pivot* is a rotation of 90**°**, 180**°** or 270**°,** clockwise only.

In rare instances, players may choose to kill their own Piece with a *Chess Cannonball*, perhaps to clear up space on the board, to remove a suspected Spy or to put an allied Piece with Malaria out of its misery.

Cannons can canonically can on ionic ally spaces, excepting those cases where they lose the ability to can (through effect cards or other means).
Banana peel

The **banana peel** is one of the powerups available to an enterprising Chess player. It is found in either booster packs or ? boxes during gameplay and causes a piece to skid out, reducing its control and speed. The affected piece will typically emit a sound effect; e.g., "ay-yi-yi-yi" or "mamma miaaaa".

The banana peel never goes bad. It is unclear who is eating the bananas or why.
Chess Madness

*The following article is a stub.*

**Chess Madness** was first observed by the little known author K.J. Scowling during his research into the the paralegal.

While traveling to the Appellate Archipelago by boat, a journey of at least 6 nautical hours, he observed the boat people faffing about with a peculiar board game they called **Tchess**. With nothing but time on his hands, disregarding the thick wool gloves he wore at all times to suppress his compulsive desire to reenact that one scene in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes back where Luke gets a mechanical hand and he wiggles his fingers while that droid closes the latch on the underside of his forearm but only after you've seen all the bits and pieces inside that make his hand whir and click invitingly with thinly disguised malice but no metal THING could replace the soft pliable grip of a flesh and blood fist with blood and sinew, Scowling set about learning the rules of the game.

After several aquatic days the sullen author became friends with a retired fisherman who divided his time between starving to death and teaching fat people to play **Tchess**. It was during one of these many educational episodes that a curious incident occurred. Scowling detailed the incident in his now famous poem *Gregarious Gumphaloons.* Here is the relevant excerpt: "A man came a rollin' out the cabin door smelling like a cabin floor lookin' like a cabin store cacklin' like a cabin cabin cabin cabin cabin cabin cabin cabin cabin cabin cabin".

It described a man rolling around on the ground laughing like an insane person. Although he was clearly not sane as he was rolling on the floor not doing sane things with the other people. He was not standing. He was on the floor. Can you imagine him on the floor? Have you looked at your floor recently? Is it still there? What have you been standing on?
Chessica

*Chessica* is a common given name amongst chess players and people.

This name may refer to:

## People

* Chessica Hewitt, chess entrepreneur
* Chessica Steven, chess provocateur
* Chessica Hendricks, chess raconteur

## Fictional characters

* Chessica Virtue, alter ego of chess superhero **Chessica**
* **Chessica**, chess superhero
* Chessica Galworth, fanon daughter of Chester Cheetah
Chess Reaper

Not to be confused with Death or Death

The Chess Reaper roams the board of its own will, killing any Piece or player it touches. Wearing a black robe, it is considered a black piece, but can kill any piece or player.

Who the Chess Reaper touches comes down to F8.

The only way to defeat the Chess Reaper is to get it to touch a mirror. The mirror also dies.
Anon

Anon (?? ??????? ???? - ?? ?????? ????) is a presumed Grandmaster whose identity has never quite been nailed.

The earliest records of Chessgames show Anon as the victor, and also the writer: after all, tis Anon who wrote the history. Known for their sageful Quotes and unknown properties, Anon's winning streak goes on anon anon anon anon anon anon
Cuban Missile Crisis

The **Cuban Missile Crisis** refers to a situation between the Soviet Union and the United States during 1962.

## Description

In 1962, the Soviet Union moved several of their missiles onto C3 (Cuba). This has been done stealthily, possibly by using the Look strategy to distract the US. Alternatively it is speculated they might have used the Spy variant of the Missile.

This move was considered brilliant for the Soviet Union, as it placed the US into a sort of tsing tsuang. Any further move could possibly elevate the tension further and result in War.

## Resolution

The game resolved in a draw, after both teams agreed to resign via Himalayan Handshake.
1984

*Not to be confused with the rank.*

In the final chapter of Jorjor Well's book, ***1984***, numerous references to Chess can be found.

Here are several snippets that feature references to Chess:

#### Exhibit 1:

> "A waiter, again unbidden, brought the **chessboard** and the current issue of *The Times*, with the page turned down at the **chess problem**. Then, seeing that Winston’s glass was empty, he brought the gin bottle and filled it. There was no need to give orders. They knew his habits. The **chessboard** was always waiting for him."
>
>

#### Exhibit 2:

> "He examined the **chess problem** and set out the **pieces**. It was a tricky ending, involving a couple of **Horsies**. ‘White to play and **mate** in two moves.’ Winston looked up at the portrait of Big Brother. White always **mates**, he thought with a sort of cloudy mysticism. Always, without exception, it is so arranged. In no **chess problem** since the beginning of the world has black ever won. Did it not symbolize the eternal, unvarying triumph of Good over Evil? The huge face gazed back at him, full of calm power. **White always mates.**"
>
>

#### Exhibit 3:

> "He picked up the white **Horsey** and moved it across the **board**."
>
>

#### Exhibit 4:

> "The spasm passed. He put the white **Horsey** back in its place, but for the moment he could not settle down to serious study of the **chess problem**."
>
>

#### Exhibit 5:

> "His interest flagged again. He drank another mouthful of gin, picked up the white **Horsey** and made a **tentative move**. **Check**. But it was evidently not the right move, because —"
>
>

#### Exhibit 6:

> "He turned back to the **chessboard** and picked up the white **Horsey** again. Almost in the same instant it **dropped on to the board with a clatter**."
>
>

## Notable observations

* The Horsey is the most mentioned piece, being mentioned a whopping 5 times and being the only piece to be mentioned aside from a pawn. It is likely the Horsey was georger orwel's favorite piece
* The board is sometimes referred to as *chessboard* and sometimes just as *board*. This creates an ambiguation between Chessboard and Board.
* There are several mentions of *mating*. It is theorized that Georg Well was a Chess Fanon Wiki member, given his apparent knowledge on the obscure intricacies of Chess such as Breeding.
* In Exhibit 6, there's mention of Winston dropping a Horsey on the board, causing a clatter. This could refer to one of the Horsey's special attacks.

Challenge

If a Player makes a Move you Think is Illegal, you must Challenge within 0.64 seconds or lose the right to **Challenge**.

Upon the throwdown of a Challenge, play freezes and every interested party gives their version of events. It is decided whether the move was Legal.

If the move was illegal, the challenge is retained and the challenger gains one challenge point. In extreme cases, the illegal move may even be disallowed/nullified.

A false challenge grants the challengee a bonus move that may not itself be Challenged.

## Self-Challenge

Challenging oneself is an advanced stratagem for guaranteed victory, even on the first turn. The trick is to make a legal move, then Challenge it, then make one's rewarded bonus move, which need not be Legal, such as knocking over the opponent's king, sweeping their entire army away, or murdering the opponent.
Copycat Game

The most reliable way for Black to win a game of Chess, with a 99.4% minimum success rate[1], is to **play the exact move your opponent just played.** The 0.6% failure rate is considered to be a result of improper mirroring.

## What this means

You can't really play the EXACT move your opponent just played: They're not your pieces, and they're not there any more. You have to learn the principle of 180° rotation.

## Would there be a handy cipher for this?

You bet! Don't let White see you consulting this.

Note that some confusion may result from the placement of the King and Queen. Remember the third rule of Chess: The placement of the King and Queen does not matter.
Chess Who

*Not to be confused with Chess Who?, which is the same*

Chess Who? is a Variant game with the same initial setup as Vanilla Chess.

I'd put a picture here if I felt up to it.

Each player starts with an additional secret duplicate piece from their opponent's color! Instead of moving, it is up to you to divine what this Piece is.

* A typical starting question is "Is it a pawn?"
	+ This question wins 50% of games, due to the answer "Yes". Then you know, and that's all you're trying to do.
		- If you do not win yet, it's your opponent's turn to guess.
* A typical response question is "Is YOURS a pawn?"
	+ This question wins 25% of games, due to the answer "Yes" and 50% of games already being won by now. Then they know, and that's all they're trying to do.
		- If they do not win yet, it's your opponent's turn to guess.
* Here's where it gets tougher: There are five pieces it could be. You may want to ask something that splits their attributes in about half, such as "is it, and listen to me carefully here, is it either a Royal or a Bishop?"
	+ By narrowing it down to a set of THREE DISTINCT PIECE CATEGORIES, you're not onto a winner yet here. Even if you're right, you still have to narrow it down further.
* and cetera

The winner is he or whoever first identifies the opponent's piece through only Yes/No Questions. A complication here is that this game is not actually turn-based: It's about quickfire questions, after White starts. When someone asks a Question, it must be answered by Yes or No before another Question is asked. 100% of games are won this way.

For extra fun, say "Chess" instead of "yes"! However, for clarity, say "yes".

## Tips

One good clue to which Piece you're looking for is which Piece is missing from your side!
Fake Chess

**Fake Chess** or *bootleg Chess* is a copy/variant of Chess that is illegitimate. It always features some features that are considered to be "off". The betrayal a Chess connoisseur experiences when discovering that their Chess set is fake is comparable to finding out that your Jordans are fake.

## Distinguishing features

Here is a list of some features often seen in **fake Chess**

* Some pieces look a bit strange
* Horsies are mislabeled as Knights
* Pieces are often missing, and are replaced by unrelated objects
	+ a pawn may be replaced by a piece of paper (note that coins are NOT a sign of fake Chess)
	+ Rook may get replaced by a rock
	+ Bishop is replaced by an action figure
	+ Swordsman is replaced by a needle or pencil cap
* the board is uneven in size
* a message that reads *"Activate Chess, This copy of Chess is not genuine"* appears in the bottom right
* A2 isn't a cube
* if a Chess set with hollow pieces features some non-hollow pieces, or vice versa
* animations are significantly less detailed
* a strange piece called the blorbus is present on the board

*NOTE: the signs of fake Chess aren't concrete and many more exist*

## Trivia

* fake Chess is considered to be less good
Ban

A **ban** is issued to any player who is discovered cheating. While banned, a player is unable to play Chess. A ban can last anywhere from one week for minor offenses (e.g., forgetting to say "Uno" when down to one piece), to thousands of years (see *Moving the Horsey Too Far: The Socrates Story*). If the banned player dies (or decides that they don't like Chess anymore) before the ban is up, the remaining duration is passed on to their descendants. If no descendants remain, the state assumes the debt, which results in the government being unable to play Chess until the ban is lifted. As a result, getting banned from chess and then dying is often a popular strategy among anarchists.
Chess World

**Chess World**, alternatively dubbed **World of Chess** or the **Chess Universe**, is a fictional universe and also the primary universe in the game Chess. It exists as a 3D plane of existence, divided into cubes, squares and inevitably pieces, who are the inhabitants of the **Chess World**.

among the many diversions in the Chess World, there is: playing Chess, eating Chess Food, raising a Chess econonomy, et cetera.

This world is known to have history dating back millions of years and it is estimated the The Big Bongcloud (Chess equivalent of the Big Bang) occured a dozen billion years B.C (before Chess).

The Chess Universe places at Level 1 on the Kardashev civilization scale, but worm hole mechanics and inter-dimensional travel has been in use for centuries.

## Trivia

* Before The Big Bongcloud occured, the anterior world is thought to have been 中國象棋
Apple

**Apples** are among the many food items in Chess. There exist multiple variants of the apple.

## Variants

### Red Apple

It is usually eaten by Horsies. A Horsey really likes red apples. Can still be eaten by other pieces.

### Yellow Apple

It is very rare and hasn't been seen much. It is yet unknown if a Horsey can eat this apple.

Chess Gun

*Not to be confused with Gun or Gun Chess*

Pieces with a Chess Gun have the advantage of a ranged insta-kill projectile attack.

It is recommended that every Piece have a Chess Gun to make it fair.

*The only thing that can stop a good guy with a Chess Gun is a bad guy with a Chess Gun.* - some guy with a Chess Gun
Cheating

**Cheating** is a category of moves available to players of Chess. Some examples of cheating include:

* Moving a piece in an illegal direction
* Placing your King in check
* Looking at your opponent's screen
* Peeking while counting to one hundred
* Glitching up walls
* Making moves acausally
* Playing while banned; results in further bans
