Chapter 675:

Bird Opening Day and the quiz answers [Special]

En Passant Grandmaster

Welcome back, now before we reveal the answers, I'd like to showcase a little game beginning with 1. f4.

"Why that?" Kisha grumbled.

Because this is the Bird's Opening, and the day this chapter is being uploaded on is National Bird Day.

"Great, another filler chapter."

Play along and you'll get bonus points.

"YO! Sign me up!" Leona grinned.

Then After Kisha responds with 1... f5, you go b3.

"Huh? Why do I have to respond with that!?" Kisha fumed.

Want your points to got to Iori?

"... No."

And thus, the two got with the program. Following 2. b3, Kisha was instructed to move her pawn to g5, while Leona moved her pawn to e4. Next was bishop g7 for Kisha, which she naturally wasn't pleased about.

"YO! I got a check! Hundred mil, please," Leona grinned as she moved her queen to h5, forcing Kisha's king to f8.

She then moved her bishop to c4, yet much to Kisha's dismay, I forced her to move her pawn to e5.

"Checkmate! What do I win?" Leona asked as she moved her queen to e7, winning the game.

5 bonus points. And Kisha, 1.

"1!? Why!?"

Because you lost. Now, lets answer those questions...

First up, anyone here know the answer to Question 1?

"Yup. Cytrash Sickomore," Iori smirked.

"No, it's Cypress Sycamore-"

Correct!

"What!? She got his name wrong!" Kisha fumed.

It's an acceptable answer. Question number 2. Anyone here got it?

"..."

The answer is the Scandinavian Defense: Mieses-Kotrč Variation.

"Why'd there have to be a question about Shouben-kun?" Iori grumbled.

Question 3 should be easy for you.

"Oh right. Muzio goes e4, e5, f4, e captures f4, knight f3, g5, bishop c4, g4, and castle... king's side."

Correct. And with this next one, you'll be at 4 points. Know the answer to Question 4?

"Simple... Humans are sadistic."

Correct.

"No fair! That's her big speech! Of course she'd know it!" Kisha fumed.

Question 5. Want to take a guess?

"Halloween Gambit."

And you're up to two points, though Leona's still leading at 5. Now roving reporter of the Chess Olympics, know the answer to Question 6?

"Fjolla's last name? Gjonaj."

Correct. Looks like you're making a comeback. Question 7?

"..."

The answer was Gorana, Hubert, Maccabee, and Mirjana. Noa was also added, but was not featured in any game, thus, listing her as part of the answer is incorrect. Onto Question 8. Anyone know it?

"Uh, yeah. It's the Jodi Jo Le song Oki-kun and I did a duet on," Iori grinned.

The specific name of the song?

"Uh..."

"Naranča," Kisha glared.

Correct, and you're now tied with Iori at 4, though Leona's still got the lead at 5. Question 9, do you know it?

"2804."

And you're tied with Leona. Last question. Do you know the answer to Question 10?

"I do! I do! Sorcha-chan!" Iori shouted.

And we have a 3-way tie. That's all for now.

"Wait! Don't just go ending things! Bonus round! Bonus Round!" Iori chanted.

"No, then he'll-"

As you wish, next time.
