First chapter goes up soon. And so much more after that...geeeeze. Once they start talking, they do not shut up, these boys...(Winchesters or Kaibas. Oy vey...)
Titles either come to me before I even start a story, or (more often) I spend hours (well, minutes) agonizing over them. This one was almost going to be Four of a Kind or some other card game reference, but then I happily realized that the chess is even more fitting to this particular story (for reasons that will come out eventually) and besides, chess references always sound erudite and cool, so there you go. (Really, if it existed, a four bishops game would be even better, what with the symbolism that bishops are only useful pieces when you have the pair of them, and one only can move on white and one only on black and, uh, I think about chess metaphors too much? Which is surprising considering how many years it's been since I played the game...finally got tired of the brother beating me every time and gave up when I was like, 12 :P)
