[She smiles at that]

Rather shrewd of you. The first blow always merits a disadvantage since it gives away a player's style.

Very well then.

[she resets the board]

→→Compliment her chess set
→→Ask why she was playing alone
→→Observe silently
→→Player's choice

You knew that, too? [She smiles pleasantly, a sure sign she's not being pleasant.]

But the truth is, it suits me better, too.

[She pauses while she helps to reset the board, then.]

You must have trouble finding suitable partners, to be playing alone.

[and she returns the smile with one of her own that doesn't quite reach her eyes]

That's true. The board is a tool for strategic study. It wasn't always a plaything. Generals of yore used it to plan battles. I don't see it as a "toy" and I consider it derogatory that using it means saying that you're "playing."

Then again, I was never one for convention.

→→That's interesting.
→→That's certainly a strange way to look at things.
→→Battles? What do you mean?
→→I completely understand.

Certain variations were developed to accommodate different types of battle, as well.

However, chess is also something that helps me to relax and unwind while I apply my mind to it.

I see.

I merely see it as a means to help me plan my tactics whether social, political or on the battlefield.

[She lifts up the white queen.]

The most powerful piece on the board.

And yet its real life counterparts are so under appreciated. Take Henry VIII for example. His first queen, Catalina de Aragón, led his troops against the Scots at the Battle of Flodden. But all she's remembered for is how she was spurned in favor of Anne Boleyn...

→→I assume that's your favorite piece. Mine is...
→→I didn't know that.
→→I'm aware of that and...
→→Are you going to make your move now?

She wasn't only great for that victory. She was a great patron of learning and education, too; for women as well, which was unusual in that day.

However, don't overlook the knight, either. Its mobility allows it to reach otherwise unreachable places.

Good of you to know. Most people seem to prefer Anne to Catalina though. I see them as misguided. Anne met her end at the executioner's sword for a reason. Overconfidence and too much trust gets you killed.

As for knights...I've met a few. Their mobility is useless without proper guidance.

[random chess move because her mun sucks at chess xD]

Your move.

→→You have quite a grasp of history ~buying time
→→Make a move with no comment
→→Capture a piece knowing it leaves one of your own unguarded while commenting on something or other
→→Make a cautious defensive move while commenting on something or other

You seem to enjoy history. I'm glad we met for this.

Anne was vibrant. It's a good quality. [But being said as all but an excuse, it's clear she prefers the studious Katherine as far as that goes.] There are movements to rehabilitate her reputation.

[She makes her move, a strong opening.]

Quite.

All individuals have good points and she was no exception. However, an excess of confidence leads to defeat. She was good.

[and she makes a move to counter]

Just not as good as she thought.

[a smirk]

→→Counter accordingly
→→Make a risky move that will risk a vital piece of your choice if she notices
→→Move cautiously and build defense
→→Pause to contemplate

[Ami falls to a brief silence, used to silence throughout a match. Normally, she'd play with more aggressive and risky strategies. But she is not a fool; she will not sacrifice her pieces for nothing in return. And with a sharp opponent like Dorothy, she will do better to be more careful, more thoughtful. The time to strike will come - and then she will do it swiftly and mercilessly.]

[Dorothy's always been chatty. She talked all throughout her fencing match with Quatre before plunging her sword into him.]

Cautious, are we? And here I thought I sensed a warrior's spirit...

→→Respond
→→Remain silent
→→Ask her to make her move already
→→Sensed?

You're more than you seem. Explain.

Now where would the fun be in that?

[She is, of course, referring to how ZERO touched her mind. Everyone whose ever been in proximity with ZERO has some degree of heightened perception.]

[captures a pawn and toys with it]

And I think you may perceive this as a negligible loss but the pawn is widely underestimated. It can only move forward but, once it reaches the end of the board, it can be anything the player wants it to be.

→→Capture a pawn in retaliation
→→Compliment
→→Insult
→→Player's choice

Don't treat me as a fool. I'm aware of the pieces.

[She couples this with taking a pawn herself - trading small pieces is typical at this stage.]

Edited 2011-03-19 05:56 (UTC)

[Dorothy maintains her smile.]

Anger makes fools of us all.

[She moves another pawn.]

But sometimes it is better to be the fool than the king. Thought that depends on the type of fool. Familiar with King Lear?

→→Argue
→→Yes, I'm familiar
→→Make next move in silence
→→Make another Shakesperean reference

Or could it be you're counting on it to make me lower my guard?

I'm not that foolish.

[She's lived the past years of her life having to prove herself to the Dark Kingdom, having to prove the strength of her hatred to the sailor senshi. Being talked down to will not make her happy. But as the subject shifts, she relents.]

I've read most of Shakespeare's known work, in English.

[She specifies this mostly to say she's truly familiar with Shakespeare rather than a translation; but of course the pride is there, too. For a non-native speaker, learning her way around older English had been a feat, but one worth undertaking.]

Stating the obvious?

Admirable. There's no true appreciation in reading it any other way.

It's still your move.

→→Make your move
→→Commence verbal sparring
→→Delay the move and resolve not to let her comments ruffle you
→→Player's choice

[True to her word, the comments may irk her, but they do not seem to distract her from her purpose. She seems as sharp as ever as she makes her moves, setting up a strategy that won't become fully apparent for awhile - hopefully long enough to get them into a strong end game she can make a clean sweep of.]

[Dorothy makes her next move in silence, smirking. Well, this was certainly fun. She had no intention of winning. The game she had earlier played with herself had been a strategy for guaranteeing a stalemate. She simply wanted to see if she could get the same results against another human being.]

→→I see what you're doing.
→→That's a strange strategy.
→→Are you trying to lose?
→→Player's choice

[She is a chess champion herself, after all. And this goes against what Ami clearly said she wanted; of course she remarks on it.]

I told you to play to win.

Our definitions of winning differ.

To get the outcome I desire is winning.

→→Argue
→→Ask
→→Leave the game in disgust
→→That's not winning

What are you trying for?

[She's only against the idea of not competing, after all. She'd be quite happy to equally force Dorothy into a loss or a win. An extra challenge for both of them. Worth it, yes?]

Edited 2011-03-19 06:36 (UTC)

I thought you were well aware of what I was trying to do.

[She makes another move, leaving her king open to be put in check.]

Would you look at that?

→→Are you taunting me?
→→Attempt to figure it out in silence
→→Make a move completely contrary to the opportunity to check
→→Place the king in check

[Oh she can tell - that Dorothy left that check open, that she's certainly not winning at that rate, that the most likely outcome from here is indeed a stalemate. It's just not clicking that this is, in fact, entirely what Dorothy wants.

Well, when in doubt... test. Ami moves away from the check instead of claiming it.]

You disappoint me.

[She makes another frustratingly non-committed move, refusing to protect her king.]

The best battles have no victors. In mutual defeat, the people learn not to repeat mistakes that lead to bloodshed.

→→This is merely a game.
→→Explain.
→→This is the set-up from before. ~recognizes
→→It's been awhile since I've met an actual challenge.
