Most chess games are played in three stages-(1) the opening, (2) the middle game, and (3) the end game. In the opening, players move their men to positions where they can attack opposing men or hamper their movements. Experts suggest that players move only one or two center pawns at the beginning of the game and that they bring knights into play before bishops.
Players often castle during the opening to protect the king. This is the only move during which a player can move two men at the same time. To castle, a player moves the king two squares toward either rook, and places the rook on the square the king passed over. A player may castle only if the king or rook have not previously been moved and if no other pieces stand between them. A player cannot castle if the king is under immediate attack (check) or if the square the king crosses or the one it lands on puts it into check.
Much of the excitement in a chess game occurs during the middle game, as players try to gain an advantage in the position of their men in preparation for a direct attack on the enemy king. During the end game, each player concentrates on queening a pawn. Players may use the king as an aggressor during the end game, when most men have been captured and it is safer to bring the king out into the open board.
A player who attacks the enemy king traditionally gives notice by saying "check," though this is not required. A player whose king is in check must move only to rescue the king. The player may capture the attacking man or move the king to a square that is not under attack. A player can also place a man between the king and the attacking man (interposition). If none of these moves is possible, the game ends in a checkmate. The attacking player wins. A player can resign (surrender) before checkmate if the position appears hopeless.
A chess game may also end in a tie, called a draw. Players may agree to a draw if neither one has an advantage that could lead to a victory. Sometimes, players repeat the same sequence of moves. They declare a draw when they have repeated the sequence three times in a row. Players also draw if each has made 50 consecutive moves without moving a pawn or capturing a man. A kind of draw called a stalemate occurs when a player's only move would put his or her king in check.
LJ Black gets up. Boy Gorgeous nails LJ Black with a springboard dropkick. Boy Gorgeous climbs to his feet. Boy Gorgeous uses a legsweep faceslam to bring LJ Black down. Boy Gorgeous goes for a pin. Shawn Pack counts the pin. ...1 ...2 ...3.
[The scene opens in Manila in the Phillipine Islands in the penthouse apartment purchased by LJ Black. A hand picks up a remote muting the television as Trinity K. Litrell walks out of the bedroom wearing a pair of white short shorts and a white t-shirt, having changed out of the evening gown she was wearing at the charity event sponsored by the LJB Corp, attended by herself and LJ Black. The large screen television continues to play the match as Trin looks around the room which has not been properly furnished since Black had just bought the place before leaving for the charity event. Sitting in a black recliner wearing a black tuxedo, only having removed the jacket which is draped across the back of the chair, LJ Black turns his attention to his fiance who sets on his lap and gives him a questioning look.]
LJ: What is that look for?
Trin: I know you do not like those events. You only sponser them for tax write-offs Now you come back here and watch that tape again. It is not like you to sulk over a loss like this.
LJ: Trin, honey, I am not sulking. I am planning for the future. I had Boy Gorgeous beat. He got lucky and a fast count from the ref gave him the win. The GDW fears me and what I will do. The GDW will learn to fear me once I beat DJ Clue and leave him clueless.
[Trin places her finger over LJ's lips to silence him.]
Trin: Stop right there, hot stuff. I want to know what you have planned. When you start looking at tapes and talking like this, I know you are up to something.
[LJ reaches over on the endtable beside the chair, picks up a book and hands to her, waiting for her response.]
Trin: What is this?
[Trin looks at the cover of the book which reads "120 Days of Sodom."]
LJ: That, my dear girl, is a map for pure evil.
Trin: It is just a book.
LJ: Such na�ve humor from such an intelligent woman is refreshing. Tell me, have you ever heard of Marquis de Sade?
Trin: He was some kind of writer wasn't he? French, I believe from the name.
LJ: Sade was a controversial French author considered by some to be a brilliant mind. Others consider him to be quite mad. The acts depicted in this novel are so deprived that no one in the GDW has though of such evil and I will use it win the mini Civil War and become one half of the tag team champions.
[LJ points to the table on the other side of the room and the marble chess set in the middle of the table.]
Trin (looks at him, laughing): You want me to play a game of chess with you?
LJ: The whole GDW will play this game. I am the black king and I have my eyes set on taking all the gold in GDW starting with one half of the tag team championships. If i can not then you will do it.
Trin (smirks): Personal assistant at your service, Mr. Black. What can I do to help?
LJ: Just help me to make sure one of us wins the mini Civil War.
Trin: You got it, babe. Why was this charity event held in the Phillipines anyway?
LJ:I have business to conduct here tomorrow so lets get some sleep.
[LJ carries Trin into the bedroom, shutting the door behind them as the scene focuses on the chess set and slowly fades out.]
