So it looks like things have descended to chaos. Sadly, this means that as a chess game, I'm probably going to have to give this a 1/10. To be fair, I do feel I'm harsher than most when it comes to judging chess games. Even with the d-pawns offing each other, I feel you still could have had the game continue normally. The main problem is that following the incident, no specific moves are given, so it's hard to follow the game. Ultimately, it doesn't matter as things turn chaotic anyway. Sadly this chapter will probably become my least favorite in the book by default because of it. That being said, a more thematic than not chess game doesn't ruin a story for me. I'm still enjoying the main plot of this one and will do my best to finish so I can get on to Vol 4 and be caught up with everything.
