Author's Commentary #700:
Time to talk about Chapter 700: Human chess fanservice.
This was a fun idea, but boy was writing it out a huge challenge. Since all the pieces are played by individuals, I decided to have their names be shown instead of the piece names. As such, I constantly had to look back at my own key to see who was what piece. If you hate this format, don't worry, it'll only be for this game. If you liked it, I'm glad I met your expectations, but I'm still not doing another game like this after this.
In a visual format, I doubt there would be any issues, but written, it really was a challenge. As for why I went with this idea, the answer is Iori smacking her fully exposed breasts into people as she captures them. When it comes to these fanservice chapters, I don't hold back.
Speaking of which, thank you all for your continued support, especially since we've now surpassed the milestones of both 1,000 likes and 100,000 views. The day of this 700th chapter's upload is also special since it's the birthday of 12th world chess champion and Russian grandmaster, Boris Spassky. As such, I hope the game was entertaining.
Finally, though I'm now starting to revise the series in volume format, I will continue to write chapters here in the original until the overall story is complete. This original is the original, ans as such, it's very near and dear to me. It's my passion project, through and through. Thank you once again for all your support. Here's to another 700 chapters of En Passant Grandmaster.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
