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 #148:

Time to talk about Chapter 148: Happy International chess day.
So I recently got sick and as such, I was unable to write or do author commentaries until I get better. Since I'm doing these now, I'm obviously feeling much better. However, when I learned that July 20th was International chess day, I pushed myself to make this chapter even though I was sick.

The game in particular ended up being a lifesaver. For you see, the game is actually the infamous 9-move mate game that was played between Fabiano Caruana and Alireza Firouzja in the Crunchlabs Masters 2024. In the game, Firouzja ended up falling for what many dub, "the 100 year old trick" which allowed Caruana to achieve a winning position as white. Firouzja resigned after realizing this.

I decided to extend the game and show one of the possible ways to mate. Funnily enough, Firouzja ended up bouncing back from the loss and made it to the grand finals of the event. As for why the game is called "the 100 year old trick", that's due to the same rook sacrifice plan being used, albeit in a slightly different way, in a game between Carl Schlechter and Julius Perlis in 1911. Funnily enough, this also invokes some word of advice from the series itself as Mimoko made it a point that sometimes capturing a hanging rook could be bad.

If I was feeling better, I probably would have featured a more extravagant game with the main cast, but I think that this was good considering the circumstances. As for the series, It will probably be on break for a bit longer, though I do plan to post something a special chapter on Mimoko's birthday, so look forward to that. Season 4 will likely be one of the shortest seasons, but that's honestly because Season 5 is shaping up to be something big. I thank everyone who's supported this series. There is more good things to come.

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

Author's Commentary #147:

Time to talk about Chapter 147: Interview the author Part 4: The top 10 most hated characters.
Originally, I didn't plan for this to be the last part of the interview, but I ended up getting sick and decided to change course. Though International chess day was the big thing that made me change up my plans more, as I felt that as a chess writer, I was required to do something for that.

Luckily, an opportunity presented itself, and I got the chapter done. I also hadn't even compiled a list of my top 10 favorite chapters yet, so it made sense not to prioritize that over the International chess day special.

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

Iori once again proving she's the queen of sadism. Though Okisato's also not to phased by this stuff, mainly because he's just seen so much of it.

Funnily enough, it's literally a hammer-katana made out of dark flames. I've always liked katanas and hammers as weapons so I decided to combine them to make the ultimate weapon.

Perhaps it's just because Ko reminds me of Yalda, and it got me thinking that maybe Ko was the precursor to her. That, and I also can't help but think the father is related to Yalda's father. Then again, I'm not caught up on Face of Eternity so I could be completely wrong.😆

Author's Commentary #45:

Time to talk about Chapter 45: Super Jester bros super shitshow.
Hey paisanos! It's the super Jester bros super shitshow!
It's the Jester bros, not the Mario bros. But they ripped em off anyway and stole their intro song. A parody of the Super Mario bros super show, it lacks all the goodwill cuz it's the big bad Jester. Aaaaaassss for Pistachio Ragu, the Italian pizza chef, he's a parody of Pizza Tower's Peppino Spaghetti! He ran out of town on the whims of a lie, but when he sees Jester again he'll suplex him and Vinny! UH!

How'd you like that rap? Anyway, this was a really fun chapter from the original that I naturally had to include it in the remake. There was also a crazy hamburger reference thrown in there as well. Overall, this was a rather fun and lighthearted chapter.

As for the next arc, it's very likely the series will go on break for a few days. The arc is mostly finished, but I need a little more time and the daily updates are getting a bit harder to keep up with. I'll still do my best to ensure the series is high-quality though.

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

Author's Commentary #98:

Time to talk about Chapter 98: The hell of Tartarus.
Some of you might remember, but EC1-DNA actually made her debut way back in Chapter 23 at the underworld banquet. Her name is an obvious pun on Echidna from Greek mythology. Considering the Roboborg union is headed by T. Phon and EC1-DNA, I'm sure you can probably guess what the naming scheme and theme for them will be.

As for the chapter, this obviously never happened in the original, though I was planning to make it the final arc. However, I decided not to, since I hadn't written it at the time, and just thought it would be better to save it for the remake. And now, not even readers of the original will be able to know what direction the story will take.

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

Author's Commentary #146:

Time to talk about Chapter 146: Interview the author Part 3: The top 10 favorite characters.
Once again, not much to say. I actually struggled the most with compiling this list out of all the other lists. Probably because there are just so many likable characters.

Even Muramasa Jouzu managed to top the list. For those who don't know, he's the 0mnipoteng 0mni-god of this universe. He decided not to involve himself too much in this story, though he's likely to make an appearance soon.

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

I really like Bear's analogy with stone and metal. As they say, only rocks can cut other rocks. I know sound weird, but for some reason I can't shake the feeling that this is a prequel to your Face of Eternity series. Then again, it could just be me overthinking things.

Author's Commentary #44:

Time to talk about Chapter 44: Arrivederci Athens.
The girls are leaving Athens and heading for Venice Italy. There, Tetsuka gets a proper introduction. Eriza's also along for the ride, but seems to be acting a bit different. The chapter's main focus is obviously Tetsuka though, so let's talk a bit more about her.

As mentioned before, she takes some inspiration from Gajeel Redfox of Fairy Tail, in fact she essentially has all his powers. The reason for that is because I planned to have her be a main cast member in a battle series spin-off staring Muramasa Jouzu. I ended up canning the story after losing motivation, but I might end up rewriting it.

As for Madoka, she's now 19 years old in the story. Her birthday will certainly be a memorable one, and naturally, I'll have plenty to talk about in these commentaries.

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

Author's Commentary #97:

Time to talk about Chapter 97: A taste of Tartarus.
This chapter is actually something I wanted to see in Shokugeki no Soma. What happens if a contestant's meal is poisoned? Since Shokugeki never delved into topics like that, I decided to do that here.

I will confirm that Ookuma was the mastermind, and only poisoned herself in order to garner public sympathy. Rika's hatred for her is only going to increase from this point forward. Another thing that might be apparent is the fact that conflict is likely to brew with Benihime. Should she find out about Rika's past, she very well might turn against her.

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

Author's Commentary #145:

Time to talk about Chapter 145: Interview the author Part 2: The top 10 worst games.
Basically, my top 10 least favorite games in the series. I'll admit, I actually considered just doing a top 5, since there were only a few games I truly loathed making, but as I went through so of the games, I realized there was just enough to make a top 10 if I included the games I removed after rewriting them.

Though one thing is clear; every single Numakawa game made the list. And worst of all, there are more to come. Perhaps I'll even have to do a list ranking all of Numakawa's games.

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

Author's Commentary #43:

Time to talk about Chapter 43: Black sail of the labyrinth Part 3.
The climax of the Athens arc is here, and it is easily one of the saddest chapters thus far. Melinda was truly ruthless and poor Emeri suffered. There actually was a major deviation between this and the original though.

In the original, Eriza was actually left on the isle of Naxos, much like how Adriadne was in the Theseus myth. Since Eriza will be a big part of the story now, I decided to have her just stick with the gang here in the remake. This means that she'll be traveling with them when they go to the next local.

As for Emeri, this event will naturally effect her going forward. Even though she complained about the lifestyle her family imposed on her, deep down she truly did love them. I will confirm that the minotaur truly was Koki and not a trick by Melinda. Though I will also confirm that Serika's theory was true and Melinda had her eye on the Kuramoris from the start.

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

Author's Commentary #96:

Time to talk about Chapter 96: The 10 finalists.
The much hyped up remake exclusive Headmaster selection arc is back, or so I'd like to say. In reality, the true name for this arc is the Tartarus arc. The Roboborg union which was mentioned in Season 1 will be the primary antagonists for this arc along with it's leader, Dr. T. Phon Laqutte. Laqutte did briefly appear in the original, however, I was unable to properly showcase him there. Here however, he will get his own arc.

ドクター・ティー・フォン・ラケット (Dr. T. Phon Laqutte) is how his name is spelled in katakana. He along with the Roboborg union are an obvious reference to the Borg from Star Trek. Laqutte's name is also a reference to Locutus, the name Jean-Luc Picard was given when he was assimilated by the Borg in the season 3 finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation. His name is also an obvious pun on Typhon, from Greek mythology.

His birthday is May 8th which is also the date the episode that debuted the Borg first aired.

As for his favorite food, he technically doesn't have any since he is a cyborg. Though before he became a cyborg, water was the sustenance he deemed most necessary for survival.

If you're familiar with all the things the Roboborg union is referencing, I'm sure you can get a basic idea on how this arc will play out. This will probably be the darkest arc in the series, not to mention the most emotional.

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

Thanks for checking this out. Since there are hardly any anime,manga, or even light novels focused solely around chess, I decided to make one. The idea of chess with death battles was an idea I had for a while, but didn't refine until I decided to write this story at the start of the year.

As for my elo, I'd say on average it's around 1000-1200. Sometimes I even drop below 1000 when I'm not focusing, but on average I'd say it's probably 1000 at the least. Though my peak elo was 1100, at least as of this moment, so I guess we'll say that's my elo for now.😅
