Author's Commentary #597:
Time to talk about Chapter 597: Going in blind.
Blindfold chess is here, and it's a bit different due to the rule that players must call out the algebraic notation for their moves. I initially messed this up, but decided that it could work by having just Saori incorrectly state the moves while Mimoko stated them correctly. Saori really is despicable.
Though not an official WWCF member, she is in contention for being the biggest jobber in the series. If she gets an official rating, it would likely be 200. She's not horrendous at chess, but she isn't exactly much better than a low-level player either.
And with that, we're only 3 chapters away from the big 600. The end of this season is also nearing as well. As a result, you might see me rushing a bit to the end and not showcasing all the main character's matches. I actually wanted to showcase some more matches, but I feel that if I decide to, it'll be via revisions long after the season is done. I might do one last minute revision and merge some chapters together in the short-term though, so be aware that it's a possibility.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
