ITP: Chess and Other Games

[mind_over_metal]

[--oh oh oh man, it’s the worst feeling, like one of those slow-motion disasters in the movies, where you walk in on something and you immediately know that you’ve walked in on something, the awkwardness hits before your foot touches the ground for your next step but it's too late for you to turn around, the inertia is already carrying you forward

What's this?

[godwinner]

Chess.

[stillagreenmiss]

Is it some kind of game?

[godwinner]

Yes, of strategy.

[stillagreenmiss]

I can see why you and Charles would like that.

[godwinner]

We're playing differently from our usual way.

[stillagreenmiss]

Differently how?

[godwinner]

He's cheating.

[stillagreenmiss]

And you're okay with that.

[godwinner]

I asked him to.

[stillagreenmiss]

...I think I'm missing something.

[godwinner]

We're seeing if I can beat him while he's in my head.

[stillagreenmiss]

Oh! So it's a shielding exercise.

[godwinner]

No. Not at all.

[stillagreenmiss]

You're letting him into your mind?

[godwinner]

Does that bother you?
