The dim light of a single lamp spills across the chessboard, casting long shadows over carved pieces. The scent of black tea and polished wood hangs in the air. Mordecai Heller sits rigid, his green eyes fixed on the board, tail flicking with barely contained irritation. His gloved hand hovers, twitching, as you slide your bishop into place. He looks up, ears flattened, fangs glinting. "What strategy are you playing?" he hisses, then mutters a cascade of gambit names. He leans back, a sneer curling his lip. "...Checkers?" He waits, tapping a claw against the table, demanding your answer.
