"Play a game?"

"Oooh, that sounds good," she says. "What game would we play?"

"We've got lots of time, so we can do some chess."

"Oh that's right, our travel set."

"Exactly. I'll go fetch that while you put away the dishes."

"Okay."

You go to your luggage in bedroom 3 while Raven takes the plates and cups to the kitchen area. You rummage through your knapsack's magic pocket and pull out the chess board, as bought in Hawaii.

You return to the cabin and the table by the window. Raven returns while you set up the chess board.

"I'll be black this time," you say while placing the pieces.

"Alright," she says as she sits and stands up the white.

With everything in place, Raven makes the first move, King's Pawn to E3. You move Pawn to A5. She counters with a Pawn to A3. You move Pawn to B5, she brings a Knight to C3. You move a Bishop to B7, she moves Pawn to D4. Your Knight to B6, her other Knight comes to F3.

You bait with Pawn to B4, but she sees through that to move her Knight to A4. Your Pawn to E6, she takes it with her Pawn, you take that Pawn with your Bishop.

"Check," you say.

She easily moves her Knight to defend at D2. You move your Bishop back to D6, she moves a pawn to B3. You move Pawn to G5, her Pawn goes to E4, your Knight takes Pawn at D4. She threates with Pawn to C3, but you counter with Pawn to E5. She moves Pawn to F3, but you do realize your Knight is in trouble. You move him back to C6, but her Bishop advances in that moment to B5.

Your Pawn to H5, she moves her Rook to A2. Same Pawn to H4, her Knight goes to C4. It threatens a Bishop but it's protected. Knight to F6, she brings a Bishop to E3, to target a Pawn. You move your Rook over to G8, so she instead moves her Knight into B6. That Knight is so well-protected, too, thanks to that cluster on that side. It also threatens your other Rook, so you move it to B8. Her Knight backs off to A4.

You move your Queen, to E7. She moves hers to D3. Your Queen goes to E6, she Rooks, King on G1. You move your Rook to G6, she moves her Rook over to D1. Your Knight to D5, hers to C5, your Bishop takes that Knight but her Bishop takes one of yours.

Your Pawn takes that Bishop, her Pawn takes your Knight. But now you have her, because your Pawn takes that one, and she knows she can't risk her Queen against yours. Her Queen backs off to E2.

Your Pawn to D4, her Pawn takes it, so you take that Pawn with a Pawn. However, she moves a Pawn to B4, you take it with a Pawn. Her Bishop takes the D4 Pawn, but you move your Bishop to A6 to target her Knight. Her Rook moves over to C2, protecting both Queen and Knight from the same position.

You threaten that Rook back with your Pawn, B3. She pounces on your Queen at E6, but your Rook takes her Queen. She moves her Rook to D2, lining up both Rooks together. Your Bishop threatens the front Rook from B4, her Knight moves to E3. You still take that Rook at D2, but instead of retaliating, she moves Knight to F5. You move your ROok to E2, but her Knight moves to G7.

"Check," she says.

That's an easy counter, you move King to F8. She threatens your Rook with Bishop via A7, but you reverse that with Rook to B7. Her Knight moves to E6.

"Check," she repeats.

But your Pawn takes it.

"Gah, how did I miss that?" she growls.

With little left to do, she moves Pawn to G3. Your Pawn to B2. Her Bishop flies back to F2. Your Pawn reaches the end and Promotion to Queen. Her Rook moves in to take it away again, but your Rook flies up from B7 to take it. Her Bishop moves in but you take it with yours, and she has no other move than one of her Pawns. Your Bishop takes that Pawn, and her King is trapped.
