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.
The Foundation is now stronger than ever with new members and under the leadership of LJ Black who upsurped control of the group from Steve Hughes. Black was elminated from the Any Given Night 3 battle royal by Stephen Clay who went on to elminate El Presidante Brian Dunkel and win the MWA World Title. Now the Black king has begun to position his piece on the board and is preparing to make his first move using men and women who do not even know they are unwitting pawns in this game. The opening moves in this game are about to be made. Black must make sure that his follow Foundation members hold championship gold while Black himself sets in motion events that will lead to the ultimate prize and place - the white king in checkmate.
The opening has begun and in a bold move the Black king and his rook John Patrick prepare to take on the two white rooks Jack Griggs and B.A. Brian Richman, both of whom have experienced emotional upheavals in their lives. Griggs has been reunited with his parents whom have estranged themselves from his life for the past eight years. With the help of his girlfriend MWA reporter Amy Renya on the opposite end of the spectrum, his tag team partner for this match, Richman, has lost someone he loved for the second time in his life with the tragic suicide of his girlfriend Meredith, who was masquerading as the masked wrestler Scorned to carry out her goals of revenge against members of the MWA roster who she felt had destroyed her life.
Before her death, Scorned was revealed to be the sister of MWA Bitch Champion, Sierra Devereaux. A person willing exploit such events in the life of his enemies is a man who will do whatever it takes to reach his goals.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, unknown to anyone in the MWA another man has set in a game of deadlier consequences.
LJ pulls MJ back up on the apron. She nails him in the gut through the ropes. LJ turns in surprise right into a Missile Shoulderblock from Mary Jane. Mary Jane throws LJ toward the buckle and he lands on top. She goes in to do a superplex, but LJ kicks her in the face, knocking her to the mat. LJ goes up top and is going to attempt a moonsault. Mary Jane is down and LJ is ready on top of the buckle. Clay sees this and climbs up the buckle behind LJ and back suplexes him to the mat below and hooks LJ's tights. Dillon counts

Goodman- Clay eliminates LJ! The Foundation is out of Any Given Night 3. We are down to three people remaining.
[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 Mary Jane all but eliminated, but Stephen Clay came up behind me and pinned me. Not only that, he had my tights. Mary Jane knew he was coming. She set me up. Smokyn Hott has been a thorn in the Foundation's side long enough.
[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 gift for Dante.
Trin: Since when are you and Dante such good friends, that you are buying gifts for him? Are you sure you did not have to much to drink tonight?
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 not even Dante has thought of such things. It will be of great influence on him and his war with Blayze and Mary Jane. You see, much like Steve Hughes and Reiver, Dante is nothing but a thug, a pawn to be used by men such as I.
[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 MWA will play this game. I am the black king and I have my eyes set on taking out the new white king, Stephen Clay.
Trin (smirks): Personal assistant at your service, Mr. Black. What can I do to help?
LJ: I need you to ensure Amber's services to the Foundation then I will unfurl my plans for my next pawn - Co-Union President Ran Smith. I will bribe him to ensure that the Foundation gets the title shots it deserves. I want all of you wearing championship gold soon.
Trin: Getting revenge at those little bitches Mary Jane and Fyre is all I want. I want to take back what's ours and if it means bringing in the heavy artillery, consider it done.
LJ: That time will come, but first John Patrick and I must get past the two white rooks on the board - Jack Griggs and B.A. Brian Richman. I know just what it requires to take both men out and at the same time. As I attack Richman mentally, I can hit Sierra at the same time. The Foundation must do everything it can to ensure that Clay keeps his title.
Trin: Yeah, but what cost is that to us?
LJ (laughing): At what cost to us baby? It is the MWA that will pay the price. I am going to use his own advise against Stephen Clay, advise he gave me a while back to use my money as a tool and not a crutch. I will reveal my plans for him to you soon, but for now it will be sweet to use the white king's own words against the white rooks and oh do I have plans for them. Griggs has finally reunited with his parents after eight years, which reminds me I have a business call to make tomorrow. I am looking to by up a neighborhood in Virginia Beach. Perhaps we should get some sleep.
Trin (glowing with excitement, hugs him tightly): YAY! I always wanted to have sex on the beach, for now I think our bed is good enough.
[LJ turns off the television. Picking her up in his arms, shivers goes down his spine.]
LJ: Weird. Why would I think of him at a time like this?
LJ: John Solomon. He lost all his money when NAEW went under. He always did have a thing for the dark side of humanity. It must just be that book that brought him to mind. For now, though let's forget everything else but each other.
[LJ carries Trin into the bedroom, shutting the door behind them as the scene focuses on the chess set and slowly fades out.]
