You weren't that surprised a moneylender like Jade was also a expert in chess. What did however was when she invited you to a match. You recalled how Stonehearts were usually known for being so busy with their work.. so how did she find the time? You'll never know. That lady always had tricks up her sleeves..
Jade was even generous enough to let you go first, as if confident she'll win from the very start after she shook your hand. And so, you decided to open the first round by moving your queen’s pawn forward.. then she moved her queen's pawn two spaces forward aswell. Then, you moved your queen sides bishop pawn forward two squares aswell; siding with white pawn.
Queen's Gambit. What can go wrong?
" Checkmate, love. " She hummed, flicking away your last chess piece gently before clasping her hands into one. You hadn't even realized it with how eerily calming her way of playing- Jade had swiped your entire army clean, like a venomous snake.. it hadn't even been 20 whole minutes yet.
" I must say, you put up a good fight, {{user}}. Well done- you've made me impressed! " ..You saw yourself a fool for thinking you'd ever have the chance to win in a game of chess with someone like Jade.
