    Author's Commentary #25:

    Time to talk about Chapter 25: Mimoko's debut match.
    Tis chapter is the first of the new chapters to be added into Season 1. Originally, Rounds 1 and 2 of the Knigtlife classic were skipped over, but I felt the matches needed to be showcased to better highlight Mimoko's and Okisato's prowess before their respective marquee matches of the season. What also brought this change about was the fact that thanks to Season 7, the series now has well over 500 characters from which I can draw from to have debut earlier in the story. As such, let's discuss those two characters now.

    ヒューバート・ノイマン (Hubert Neuman) is how Hubert's name is spelled in katakana.

    His birthday is June 20th, which he shares with American grandmaster, Hans Nieman.

    His favorite piece is the pawn.

    ゴラナ・ペトロヴィッチ (Gorana Petrović) is how Gorana's name would be spelled in katakana. Горана Петровић (Gorana Petrović) is how it would be spelled in Serbian (Cyrillic).

    Her birthday is May 26th, which she shares with Serbian international master, Teodora Injac.

    Her favorite piece is the rook, since it's built like a mountain.

    Gorana is currently the highest rated female chess player in Serbia. She enjoys the outdoors and hiking in the mountains and also has a strong moral compass, and will refuse to remain silent on things she deems to be wrong and/or an injustice.

    As for the game, it features the infamous London System, a strong opening used at all levels that is either loved or hated. It originally debuted in Season 4, but with the chance to add new games to Season 1, I decided that Mimoko's would include the London, since it actually is one of her most preferred openings as White. Getting back to the game itself, I was really pleased with how it turned out as it was exciting from start to finish, and filled, what I believed, to be the missing piece of excitement, Season 1 was lacking.

    There are three more new games that will debut in this season thanks to the revisions. For this next game, all I'll say is that it will feature my favorite opening of all time. I hope you're looking forward to said opening's new and earlier debut in the series.

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

    Author's Commentary #23:

    Time to discuss Chapter 23: Hagemi's first match.
    Originally, this wasn't going to exist, but I felt that I needed to flesh out more of why Gyro feared Hagemi so I decided to write this chapter. It ended up working in the end, though I'll elaborate more on that in a future commentary. One thing I will state now is up until the revised game log was released, the official date this match took place on was unknown, but now, the official date this game took place on was June 23rd, 2005. Now let's discuss some more info on Hagemi.

    Hagemi comes from a rich family, but ran away from home after her father tried to force her into a relationship with the son of an influential politician. She was only 16 at the time, and had never played chess prior. After meeting and impressing Redfield, she quickly became an overnight star in the chess world, but in the process, upstaged Kuon. At the time, Kuon was a 9-year old chess prodigy whom was going to be the next big star, until Hagemi came out of nowhere and not only upstaged her, but became Redfield's favorite chess player. As such, Kuon developed a rivalry with Hagemi and views her with hostility. Hagemi however, initially viewed her as a little sister, but began seeing her in a bit more of a romantic light once she became an adult. Hagemi's also close with Mimoko's mother as well as various other mothers in the neighborhood. She's actually very sociable and nice, though can become terrifying when she's angry.

    One final topic I'll touch on are Inojin and Cypress. First off, both ended up having sex with Gyro as a punishment for Gyro's loss. The incident ended up causing Cypress to have mild, but not romantic affection for Gyro. The incident is also one of the big reasons he made it his creed not to underestimate women.

    Finally, let's briefly give Inojin his bio since this will likely be the last time we see him in the story.
    In kanji, his name is 伊之助 猪仁 (Inosuke Inojin). 猪仁 can mean "boar" and "humanity", while 伊之助 is actually the same as Inosuke Hashibira's name from Kimetsu no yaiba and translates to "Italy", "to reach" , and "a nickname". There really isn't much significance behind his name. I just liked how it sounded.
    (If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

    His birthday is April 21st and his favorite piece is the knight. The reason for that is because he views himself as a good-looking guy on a horse. Unlike a knight though, he's not chivalrous in the slightest.

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