Author's Commentary #337:

Time to talk about Chapter 337: The bamboozling Balkan gambit.
With Ginji's stunt rattling Okisato, it's up to the masked man to lead the comeback. And to do that, he'll be unleashing the Balkan gambit upon Tvrtko. Since the game isn't finished yet, I won't go to in depth on the game, but I will reveal it was originally meant to be Okisato and Miralem's game.

I still liked this game though, so I decided to have it be played between the masked man and Tvrtko instead. That also means I've got an amazing game planned for Okisato and Miralem. The first moves have already been made, but the game won't resume for a while. But in the meantime, decisive results will start to come in. This game won't be the first though, but it will be the second. As for what game will be decided first, it will be none other than Tenju vs Bao. I'm really looking forward to this next chapter as there's a lot I have to discus about it, and what it means for the overall story.

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

Author's Commentary #174:

It's finally time to talk about the Season 5 finale. Chapter 174: Rain and Rebirth.
The chapter mainly gives an update on what's going on with everyone, starting with the fairy league. Heather has entered her fallen arc and is now Heather Spriggan of the Spriggan league. ヘザー・スプリガン (Heather Spriggan) is how her new name is written in katakana.

Even though this is the last chapter of the season, a new character, Melisha, has been introduced. I'll give her bio first.

メリシャ・カマレオン (Melisha Kamaleon) is how Melisha's name is spelled in katakana. Her surname is an obvious pun on "Chameleon". As for her alias,
メリシャ・ヴスレンドルショーヴ (Melisha Vousrendrechauve) is how it is spelled in katakana. Here, her surname Vousrendrechauve is French for "Make you bald". Thus her alias is essentially "Melisha make you bald".
(If I made any mistakes with the translation, feel free to correct me).

Her true birthday is actually a mystery, but she is currently listing September 13th, which is Bald is beautiful day, as her birthday. Maybe this is her real birthday, or maybe it isn't.

Her favorite piece is the queen, though she refuses to elaborate why.

It's obvious there's lots of mystery surrounding Melisha, and to be honest, I haven't yet finalized what her character will ultimately be. But for now, she certainly bears many similarities to a certain hair stylist from one of my other series.

As for the ending, Jackie Egghead is claiming to be Numakawa. However, things aren't so clear. The exact conditions of the wager were never shown, and it's not truly certain if Jackie's memories and consciousness are truly gone. Not to mention, Skaberghast actually decided to get off his ass and go confront her himself.

This segways into Season 6. Originally, I planned for Season 6 to be one of the longest arcs in the series. However, I changed my plans and instead it ended up having less chapters than Season 5.

However, before Season 6, there will first be some short, but 100% canon to the main story smaller arcs, which I dub, "Side Stories" . There's a few of them along with some one-off specials, but they are really good. But to hype you up for Season 6, I'll reveal two things about it. First, Skaberghast will be the main antagonist of the season, and second, it will feature a tournament. I hope you look forward to what's to come for this series.

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

I honestly haven't given that much thought. I guess there would be some places where food grows, but most if not all would just get their food from the generator. As for the freshness, the old and new would co-exist, though the newer more updated one would likely be the default on the search menu.

Author's Commentary #336:

Time to talk about Chapter 336: Pyramid scheme.
When I said it might be a while until a game ended decisively, that was an intentional misdirect. Ginji is stepping up his game and going full Zsa Zsa and intentionally playing bad in order to lose as fast as possible. Unlike her though, he's trying to pretend like he's not doing that, and is intentionally sabotaging the team. Originally, I did plan for Refik to have a proper match against Ryonosuke, but since it made for a better story to have Ginji play in the round, I had Ginji throw his game to him.

Now 0-1 in the hole, the men's team will have to win on demand, or at least get 2 wins and a draw, in order to win the match. But the women's team also has their prospects threatened as now Iori is forced to play sick, while Azenira is out. With how good Xiu and Bao are, along with Iori not being at full strength, China really does have a good chance of winning the match even if Daria beats Xiao Lin. Speaking of which, things will stay on the men's side for a chapter more before shifting back to the women's side. Get hyped, because the games that will be featured in this arc will be in contention for making my list of my favorite games in the entire series.

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

The Drift of Time

Jan 30, 2025

Author's Commentary #335:

Time to talk about Chapter 335: Groggy mosquito.
Round 6 has officially begun. Iori did make it to the venue in time, but the problem is she's still sick. That means her thinking will take a big hit. Jia is only rated 2199, so she isn't the most difficult opponent to face, but things are already off to a rough start thanks to Iori playing the Mosquito gambit. But before we delve too much into the action, let's do Yllka's bio.

イルカ・スレイマニ (Yllka Sulejmani) is how Yllka's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is March 27th, which she shares with Albanian women's candidate master, Eglantina Shabanaj

Her favorite piece is the bishop, mainly because like a bishop, she as a doctor can offer salvation to people.

Yllka's actually a character I'm still debating on what to fully do with her character. I imagine I'll have made my decision when she appears again in the story, but at the posting of this chapter, I'm struggling to go with one path or the other. Both have their merits, but only one can be used for her character.

Getting back to the action, Iori's game isn't the only one seeing action. Daria's, Mimoko's, and even Tenju's all saw some action. But I will confirm things will shift over to the men's side for a couple chapters before things shift back to the women's side. This is mainly to see how things are going over there now that Ginji will be playing instead of Ryonosuke. As such, it might be a few chapters before a decisive result for a game comes in, but I promise, there will be non-stop tension and action in these upcoming chapters.

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

To celebrate the Chess Olympics arc, I've decided to create full artwork of all the major teams that will appear in the story. Each work of art contains not just full art of the team's members, but also their board number and rating along with the team's average rating. Here's links to all the team art currently up for teams that have been revealed thus far. More will be posted as the arc progresses.

The women's side is complete at 61 teams. Even though there are over 100 teams competing, I'm only choosing to spotlight 61 of the women's teams. There will be even less on the men's side, as I'll likely only post art for the teams Japan will face or encounter.

I know I keep saying "this will be it" for the women's teams, but this time I'm really capping them off at 61 teams. Maybe I'll go back on that and do more, but even if I do I will state for a fact the number of women's teams with art will not exceed 65.

Note that not all the countries that get a main focus will each have artwork of both their men's and women's teams.

Author's commentary #334:

Time to talk about Chapter 334: When you least expect it.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Unless of course you know I love referencing Monty Python, in which case, you should have seen it coming. But I don't think anyone expected or saw it coming that Ginji would outright chloro Azenira in order to screw over the women's team. And I'll confirm he got Ryonosuke too, meaning he'll be playing in the round after all. Now, let's do the bios for all the new characters.

フランコ・デフランコ (Franko DeFranko) is how Franko's name would be spelled in katakana.

His birthday is November 22nd, which he shares with American-British actor and comedian, Terry Gilliam.

His favorite piece is the bishop, because he himself is a cardinal.

フランシス・ヒメネス・デ・シスネロス (Francis Jiménez de Cisneros) is how Francis' name would be spelled in katakana.

His birthday is February 1st, which he shares with Welsh actor and comedian, Terry Jones.

His favorite piece is the bishop, because he himself is a cardinal.

フランクリン・フランツ (Franklin Franz) is how Franklin's name would be spelled in katakana.

His birthday is May 5th, which he shares with English actor and comedian, Sir Michael Palin.

His favorite piece is the bishop, because he himself is a cardinal.

Given authority by Queen Sophia, these three bumbling buffoons now how full authority to go full Spanish Inquisition, so long as they adhere to complete and unwavering loyalty and obedience to Sophia herself. And in case you're wondering, they're more in-line with Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition than the historical one.

エゼキエル・ゴルドシミット (Ezekiel Goldschmidt) is how Ezekiel's name would be spelled in katakana. יחזקאל גולדשמידט (Ezekiel Goldschmidt) is how it would be spelled in Hebrew.
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

His birthday is March 29th. I chose the date at random, so there's no greater meaning behind why this date is his birthday.

His favorite piece is the bishop, because he himself is a rabbi.

Ezekiel is Golda's father and a grandmaster himself. He is generally regarded as a wise and instructive man. Before the New Kingdom of Simien came to be, he was frequently at odds with Israel's egotistical prime minister. Said character has yet to be revealed in the story, but even though he's no longer in power, he's still got enough sway in Simien's new government to weasel his way onto the men's team. If you've seen the team artworks, you probably have an idea who this character is, but if you haven't I won't spoil things here.

Getting back to Ezekiel, I meant to introduce him earlier, but never found the time until now. He's not going to have a role, say the size of Alya and Anastasia, but I at least wanted to introduce him before the round began. In fact, my goal is to introduce all the characters in the artworks, whether it be giving them just a few seconds of screentime, or a more outside role. But that's easier said than done as I keep making new teams each day. I'm finally capping out the women's teams, but the men's teams still have a ways to go as of the upload date of this chapter.

Getting back to the story, with Azenira out, it means either Iori has to get to the venue in time and even if she does, she'd have to play sick, which would give China a significant edge. But if the latter does come to pass, it means that all 4 of the games on the women's side will be shown. Get hyped because round 6 will be one of the most intense rounds thus far in the tournament.

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

If anyone wishes to submit fanart for this series, I more than welcome it. There are many moments in this series I'd love to see in visual format that I'm unable to draw good art of with my current artistic skill set. Fanart will be featured in the gallery, and will likely either be rotated or combined into a collage, with credit to the original artists being included in the description, if lots of fanart is submitted.
