    Author's Commentary #706:

    Time to talk about Chapter 706: Team Alaskan Wildlife Tours.
    No Mr. Filler this time, but I feel he'll probably be back. He was close to appearing though as I wasn't able to get a game for Yuusuke yet. Now before I discuss any further, let me do the bios.

    レックス・グラタ (Rex Grata) is how Rex's name would be spelled in katakana.

    His birthday is September 6th, which is the day before that of American businessman, investor, and philanthropist, Rex Sinquefield, of whom he is a nod to.

    His favorite piece is the king.

    ミスター・フィラー (Mr. Filler) is how Mr. Filler's name would be spelled in katakana.

    His birthday is January 1st, which is New Year's Day.

    His favorite piece is the pawn.

    Getting back to the behind the scenes stuff with the games, I'm currently feeling a little exhausted and have been struggling a bit to find the motivation to write out the games for this season. Prior to the announcement of the new contest, I was mainly focused on crafting new games for the volume releases. Now I feel my attention will be divided further with the contest. I do apologize for this as I do want to continue the main story here, but keep getting sidetracked. I feel once all of Chess Olympics is adapted into volume format, I'll put the volume releases on hold until I get more arcs of the series done here. I'll also try to work on my contest entry as well. That being said, I'll try to get some games done for this season. I doubt they'll be long ones, but I'll try my best.

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

    Author's Commentary #704:

    Time to talk about Chapter 704: Negotiator.
    When you're 700 chapters in, it's hard to keep coming up with chapter titles, especially for chapters like this. All this amounts to is a buildup to a match happening later. Speaking of which, let's talk about Pnina.

    プニーナ・サピア (Pnina Sapir) is how Pnina's name would be spelled in katakana.

    Her birthday is April 26th, which is when Pearl Day took place in 2025.

    Her favorite piece is the knight.

    For those that don't know, the Ginkawa family in my stories are know for predominantly having silver hair and lapis lazuli colored eyes. Not all members have one or both these traits, but most tend to have both. When going through Wikipedia searching for names, Sapir caught my attention due to it translating to "lapis lazuli". I also liked how Pnina sounded, and thus chose to name the character Pnina Sapir. Since the name has Hebrew origins, I decided to have her have Jewish ancestry on the non-Ginkawa side of the family.

    In terms of her Ginkawa lineage, her mother is the daughter of Harumi's father's sister, thus making them cousins. Pnina is based in Cyprus, though has villas throughout the Mediterranean nations, mainly because she can't help but have different views of the sea. Her wealth was acquired thanks to her startup company, Pnina Sapir, which specializes in jewelry and fashion, making her a rival to Mizuse Niimi inc. Initially, Pnina was going to be a singer, but I didn't really have much for her beyond that and her Ginkawa lineage, thus I revised her into the character you see now.

    I actually hesitated with deciding the teams thanks mainly to the different route the volumes are taking in regards to Mizuse and her company. However, I think I've sorted that out now. That being said, there will still be some teams I have yet to finalize things for.

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