Who is the best at chess among the races?

It was like imagining who would win in a fight between a Tyrannosaurus and a Triceratops.

No one knows who would win. It’s a problem with no correct answer.

But that’s why it was a law with even more powerful destructive power.

Title: Let’s be honest, chess is dwarf-like

Everyone, think about it.

We dwarves handle complex designs, so tasks that are possible for us require intelligence.

Playing chess is easy compared to that.

It’s easy for us to plan ahead 5 or 10 moves in advance!

-So did you plan on killing with a hammer?

-You guys killed it, you bastards haha

-These bastards made my seed money die!!!!

-We didn’t do it! Why would we kill with a hammer!!!

-How would we know that, of course we wouldn’t know;;

-Ah haha, anyway, we killed it haha

-These bastards

-Haha, dwarves are coming with hammers

-Dwarf rage haha

-Can they chase with their short legs?

-Well, since it’s possible haha

-They might come riding some weird machines haha

-Dwarves are good at hammering haha

-No matter what designs these dwarf bastards come up with, they just end up hammering, so chess is screwed

-We play chess during breaks from hammering?

-Making a chessboard on the spot and playing? Haha

-Why go to such lengths…

-These guys are completely insane haha

-Why are you using technology like that…

-It’s a lie, no no

-Even if you say it’s true, I don’t believe it

Title: Dwarf Chess Party Certification

(Chess pieces as big as dwarves.jpg)

What do you think?

-This is damn huge haha

-Are these crazy people?

-Why are you playing chess with pieces as big as your torso?

-It looks good if it’s big.

-If it’s this big, even a king could play chess

-Do we need pieces at all if dwarves just stand there?

-That’s why the chess players are standing in the king’s place

-Is this for real?

-They’ve gone crazy haha

Title: Even if you don’t know dwarves

Demon << They seem to be screwed

-This is too obvious

-Imagining demons having a fistfight and playing chess at the same time? Haha

-Why are demons playing chess haha

-Do the ones who don't use fists play well? Disregard that

-But we have smart ones too, right?

-But if you're too smart, you'll end up being dragged to the tower…

-Ah haha

Title: We also play chess

(Demons fighting with fists.jpg)

But suddenly it turns into a fistfight

-What are these guys doing haha

-Haha, fistfights are simpler, faster, and more convenient than chess haha

-How on earth do you go from playing chess to fighting?

-Asked for a move back, got told to screw off, and then got punched right away

-Haha, only real men survive here haha

-The weak can't even play chess haha

-Where does a weakling play chess!!!!!!!!

-If you're weak, go build sandcastles haha

-What kind of place is Mazeuros…

-(Insert random raccoon meme.jpg)

-Savages, these demon bastards haha

-Yeah haha, dwarves who can't live without tools

-Yeah, barbarians

-Yeah haha, dwarves with beards haha

-These guys fight whenever they meet haha

-Sometimes I think about locking demons and dwarves in a room together

-Is it a room where you have to solve puzzles to get out?

-That's a bit curious haha

In a world where a demon and a dwarf are left alone… Will they really play chess?

This is a bit difficult…

What are these guys talking about, haha

Title: Weaklings daring to play chess???

(Picture of a muscular demon with fists)

If you want to capture the chess pieces, you have to beat me first

He looks like he could lose even if he fought with just his pinky finger

Wow, he's pretty tough, huh?

Hey, don't steal photos, haha

Who is he?

He's Maron, ranked 3rd among the demons

How do we beat someone ranked 3rd, haha

How strong is he?

He's a crazy monster who can easily crush a Swordmaster, but gets defeated in 30 seconds by the Demon King

What exactly is the Demon King doing…

What kind of being is the Demon King who isn't afraid of such a terrifying Demon King…

If that kid declares war on the gallery, he might be the first to die, haha

Play chess with that guy? Nope, I surrender, haha

He can't even touch the pieces, haha

???: How dare you eat my pawn???

???: Surrender now

Uh… Yes.

Haha, they say you get split in half if you reply

Is this power chess, haha

The demons who often win by time-out and surrender…

"Why do I have to move the pieces?"

"The opponent is already dead in my hands."

Shiver

This is unbelievable…

Is this… chess? What I knew was…?

Can this really be called chess…

Title: But isn't this the strongest chess player

Just playing chess all day, isn't that a pain?

Hmm… The best in chess; the continent's top player who never leaves the room…

Isn't this just a loser?

Oh my

Such facts are not good, Gallbang

Still, being the top player on the continent is impressive

Is that so???

I've been a loser for about 120 years

You need to get out!!!!!!!

Are your parents still alive to let you live like this? Haha

Are they still sucking your spine? Haha, that's harsh

Title: Which race is the best at playing chess

After thinking about it, I found the answer

It's probably the elves

They live long, so they must be good at it, right?

That makes sense, it's logical

Then what about the elf nerds?

Oh

If you're saying that it's amazing that they live long but can't play chess, Gallbang? I don't agree, that's too much

This guy is the worst, haha

It doesn't seem like the elf nerds are the best, haha

Plant Druid) What did you say!!!!

Haha, why are you like that? Maybe they're just weak

Compared to the nerds, the elves are just a piece of cake, haha

They've just wasted their time, haha elves, haha

What's the point of living long, haha oh haha

Don't underestimate elf chess, there are many chess masters

I'm a current elf and I'm good, haha

But the problem is there are many elder nerds

Elder nerds, haha

Haha, are you guys the elder nerds???

I asked someone I know, and they said that it's obvious that the elves are superior and the best, why do we need to prove it? It's obvious that the elves are strong

What's so obvious, you jerk? Do you need to break a staff to come to your senses??

Are you out of your mind?

Being out of your mind is obvious, haha

Anyway, I'm good at it!!! Bam!!!!

Are you a kid? Haha

ㄴIf you're that old, your brain must have rotted, right? Can you play chess?

ㄴThere are actually people who have gone senile and forgotten how to play chess, you know?

ㄴHaha, can't even play chess, yet calling themselves veterans, legends.

Title) So, who is the weakest race?

Dark Elves?

ㄴWhat are you talking about? We always play chess too, you know?

ㄴWell, Dark Elves are pretty smart too.

ㄴThey're good with magic… and stabbing people in the back…

ㄴIsn't it humans who are the weakest? They don't have any strong elements for chess.

ㄴWell, it's ambiguous when it comes to lifespan, intelligence, and characteristics.

ㄴIs that so? Haha, sounds plausible.

ㄴI don't know about others, but a race with disposable heroes would be at a disadvantage.

ㄴWhy?

ㄴWhat does that have to do with anything?

ㄴJust their existence alone is a debuff.

ㄴHaha, what a curse, right?

ㄴHero) ……

ㄴGalbong, haha, not going far, huh?

ㄴGalbong… died…

ㄴHilarious, haha.

ㄴDon't curse the hero, haha.

Title) What does it mean to play chess?

(Showing a picture of a cat's chubby hand.jpg)

We have trouble moving the pieces.

ㄴHaha, they really can't play.

ㄴThat's why they're trying it out after joining the guild.

ㄴThey may be good at other physical sports, but they can't play chess, haha.

ㄴBut aren't they good at it if they try?

ㄴThey only know when they're criticized, haha.

ㄴIsn't it an unsolvable mystery in the end?

ㄴSeriously;;;

In the end, you have to see it to know.

You won't know until you actually try it.

But deep down, everyone seemed to have similar thoughts.

"Aren't we the best?"

"The other races don't seem like much, do they?"

"Isn't that right? Your Majesty?"

"…Yes, that's right."

The Queen of Elan, Eris, nodded vaguely while answering.

The other races may not seem like much. Whether that's true or not.

What's certain is that there are too many people in the world who play chess well.

To Eris, who felt a wall at Tier 1, the words of the old fogies sounded like nonsense.

"When I used to play chess in my prime… mumble…."

"The tactics of our elves are excellent… as stated in the ancient texts…!"

"The 40,000-year history of the elves proves it!"

"Do we really need to prove that…?"

"Does the Queen play chess too?"

"Yes, occasionally…."

"Then would you like to play a game with us?"

She nodded and brought out the chessboard.

While Eris was relieving stress by beating the old fogies at chess.

The Emperor of the Empire was also thinking along the same lines.

"Of course, our Empire must be the best, right? We have Hwisun Gyeong!"

"Uh, um…. I think so. I can't guarantee it though."

"Gyeong is too humble for his skill. He should have more confidence."

But isn't the continent vast and full of talents?

Such thoughts crossed his mind, but Hwisun Gyeong just nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It was impossible to refute the words of the Emperor, who held absolute power.

Hwisun Gyeong, who was weak and fond of flattery, could only bow his head.

"Hmm…."

The Emperor, who was in the middle of playing chess, stroked his chin.

Which move would be good here?

During the time the hourglass was running out, he pondered.

It didn't take long.

"Your Majesty."

The Knight Commander, Ersha, who quietly approached him, whispered.

"A messenger has arrived from the Kingdom. They say they have made contact with Judak."

…!

It was an unexpected turn of events.

***

After the friendly chess match with Hwisun Gyeong.

The Emperor returned to his study.

"Hmm."

He was pondering about Judak.

He was trying to figure out a way to persuade Judak.

Now that killing or burying Judak was impossible.

The only option left for him was to persuade Judak.

Rather than killing Judak and taking a big risk, it was better to make Judak join their side with less risk!

A win-win situation!

When I obtain the Jutak, I will be able to pressure the kingdom with that much power.

The kingdom naturally followed the image drawn in the Emperor's mind.

"Hehe…."

Above all, he was confident in his persuasive skills.

"Persuasion is a piece of cake."

The reason he was able to make the Empire stronger than before.

It was because he brought people of talent regardless of their race or background.

"Jutak is no different in the end."

If the Empire provides a powerful infrastructure, overwhelming rewards, and shows inclusivity… anyone would be tempted.

Everyone has a desire to go to a better place!

Or they must have some kind of desire.

Any race is bound to have weaknesses.

The weakness of Jutak was already known to everyone in the gallery.

"A woman…!"

He had already thought of a way to persuade.

Perhaps, the reason he was in the Osen Kingdom was because the queen was beautiful.

Women with good figures and beauty are abundant in this world.

If he tempts Jutak with women, will he be able to resist?

"It's impossible!"

So, he just needs to create a reason to call Jutak.

But if he calls without reason… he will inevitably raise suspicions. The Emperor's dilemma deepened.

"Chess. Does he dislike chess?"

Checking his gaming history, Jutak had not played a single game yet.

But if he wasn't interested, would he have added these games to the gallery?

He judged that the probability of Jutak responding to a chess call was quite high.

First, let's lure him with chess.

It would be suspicious to call him out abruptly, so a cautious approach is necessary.

The Emperor sent a reply to the letter.

─I am considering a tournament to determine the strongest chess player on the continent. I need Jutak's help.

─How about engaging in genuine interaction while playing chess?

"Hehe…."

Of course, the interaction would not be through chess, but through physical interaction with the prepared women.

Don't let him escape once he falls in!

The Emperor's opportunity to lure Jutak had arrived.
