It's a me. I'm an aspiring light novel writer hoping to one day see my works in anime form. I hope that my works at least brighten up your day and give you something to look forward to.

Author's Commentary #743:

Time to talk about Chapter 743: Xiu's interview.
Since this chapter is being released on Pi Day in real life, I decided to add on a little extra content to the chapter. I was originally going to just have the chapter be that, but decided I wanted to keep the interviews going.

With Xiu, you can expect feet, smugness, and ego. And in case some missed it, Xiu is the top player on the team Yuusuke is on. That being said, Yuusuke will probably be the last one on the team to get a spotlight.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #742:

Time to talk about Chapter 742: Hubert's interview.
We've reached the end of Team Alaskan Wildlife Tours. And in keeping with the trend of the side characters having short interviews, Hubert's is short.

It's more so that I just don't know what to say for some of these characters while others come more naturally. That being said, I feel some of the remaining teams will have some memorable interviews.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

... Might work IRL, but don't take my word for it for obvious reasons. Always ask before you bald. Consent is key.

Author's Commentary #741:

Time to talk about Chapter 741: Solveig's interview.
In case anyone forgot, Solveig's from Antarctica, which essentially is a full-blown nation in this world. Though they didn't get any spotlight, I did post artwork of the Antarctic men's team for the Chess Olympics, which did feature some penguins. One of those penguins is rumored to be the final maestro that has yet to be revealed.

The final maestro is actually a mystery I've wanted to explore for a while, but just haven't found the time in the story to do so. It might become relevant in a future arc though, possibly even the one after this one.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #18:

Time to talk about Chapter 18: Salem bishop and a Witch's Broom.
Mother Salem really hates bishops, so much that she'll even sacrifice the pieces with their namesake just to get them off the board. And ironically, it was a bishop that ended up mating her in the end.

I actually had this game written out a while back, but was unsure when I wanted the match to take place. I was debating having the encounter be in a Side Story, but ultimately decided it was best to have the Mother Salem match be a part of Season 6. As a result, I ended up giving Agatha a bigger role in the grander scheme of the story. It is also worth mentioning that Mother Salem's rating of 1692, is a reference to the year the Salem witch trials began.

Speaking of the game itself, it features a new opening, which I'll dub the Pirc Defense: Witch's Broom Variation. The reason for this is simply due to the fact that after either 1. d4 d6 2. c4 Kd7 3. e4, 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Kd7 3. c4, 1. d4 d6 2. e4 Kd7 3. c4, 1. e4 d6 2. c4 Kd7 3. d4, 1. c4 d6 2. e4 Kd7 3. d4, or 1. c4 d6 2. d4 Kd7 3. e4, the formation of the pieces resembles a witch's broom.

It does suck for Agatha though. She finally killed Mother Salem and will presumably be the next head of the Broadstone family, but Okisato seems determined to ensure she never leaves. It's time to finally see why the two have a history.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #17:

Time to talk about Chapter 17: Witches' Gambit.
This chapter certainly has a big revelation, that being that Agatha seems to have known Okisato's mother. Let's talk about the new characters first though.

サブリナ・ブロードストーン (Sabrina Broadstone) is how Sabrina's name is spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is October 24th. I chose the date at random, but the month was intentional, due to October being the month of Halloween.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

ミック・レオパード (Mick Leopard) is how Mick's name would be spelled in katakana.

His birthday is December 3rd. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is his birthday.

His favorite piece is the pawn.

As for Agatha's supposed relation to Okisato's mother, that will be further explained in future chapters. I will confirm though, that Agatha is not a Desperado, but she does have a major connection to the league.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Think you've got it down pat now. I had no issues with reading, so keep it up. And even then, this genre can allow for some leeway in formatting, so feel free to make use of that to the fullest.

Author's Commentary #16:

Time to talk about Chapter 16: Fianna's dark secret.
This one's a volume original, though I had the idea in mind for it as far back as Summer 2024. It's by far the most messed up and darkest chapter of the series yet which is saying something. I was actually hesitant to go with it even now due to how messed up it is, but for the sake of showing just how evil Fianna is, I had to go with it.

To start, Fianna is incredibly racist against Japanese people. This stems from her distaste in manga which she views as "degenerate", and thus an overall negative to society. But ironically enough, Fianna ended up having Japanese heritage herself. If this fact had become public at the time, it could have torpedoed her aspiring political career, as many would have deemed her a hypocrite. Thus, she decided to discredit Harold, the only person who knew the truth, in the most malicious way possible. This shows the lengths to which she'd go in order to achieve power.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
