Chapter 843:
En Passant Grandmaster
Peter Morphy, age 22. Height: 178 cm. Occupation: Chess player. Favorite chess piece: The king. Descended from legendary chess player, Paul Morphy, Peter has been hailed as the second coming of him and then some due to how dominant he is at chess. The only problem is that there are very few who can give him a challenge, leading to him often becoming bored.
As the WWCF doesn't want him to end up like his ancestor did, they've made it their mission to foster and seek out great chess talent in order to keep Peter from getting bored. They've even begun printing books filled with nothing but chess games, dubbed Morphy's bible, which Peter will often read to keep his mind thinking about chess.
He prefers studying and playing unorthodox and dubious openings to make things more entertaining, but if he faces someone of equal strength, such as Mimoko or a maestro, he'll play normally. All he asks for in a chess match is to be entertained. Even if he wins or draws, if it was hard-fought, it will satisfy him.
Outside of chess, he really doesn't do much of note. Meal-wise, he runs primarily on pancakes and skim milk, but does eat an overall balanced diet and stays healthy in order to keep his mind sharp. Chess boxing and dive chess are his go-to methods for keeping in shape.
