A gambling man would speculate on the motives and duration of your revived interest.

An entrepreneur would eliminate it.

And an emperor wouldn't spare it a glance.

Luckily, as a simple chess player, all I have to do is... wait for your impending move.

I'm sure you'll understand my sympathy for the path of least effort over the traditional woe, objections and indignation. After all, I have it on good authority that hard work and too much thinking are unhealthy for me.

[aproselyte]

Careful. That's... effort.

Well, if she does happen to send you someplace, at least you'll be able to play chess with other residents. That's one good thing about it.

For which the only price would be the advantage of territory, staff, strategy and resource. Is that a trade you'd find reasonable, or only one you'd recommend?
