Of Kings and Aces by ClaireMonday2468

What does it take to change the course of a person's life? One small, seemingly trivial decision. For Jacob, it was when he decided to play a game of poker in a new city he was supposed to call home for the next few years. But he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. For Ace, it was when he drove to a different city in the middle of the night to collect an employee from a police station. A man he believed he's never even met but whose eyes had already imprinted on him a few nights prior. Two people, brought together by simple decisions that rippled and entwined them. Two decisions that landed them as indispensable pieces in a wild game of chess against each other. One night. One game. One web of deception that led to a series of life-changing lethal events. One goal: to protect their king. ♤♡♧♢

Royal Powers and Bad Bishops by bibliomania777

Royal Powers and Bad Bishops delves deep into ancient and modern kingdoms and the crafty manipulation of "bad bishops." Using chess imagery, this book sets the stage for the clash among overarching, supernatural forces, their royal pawns and the revelation of many surprising truths and complex linkages on a chequered background, where stark realities are not so black and white!

Chameleon by Garyorchard

The Ministry of Defence's most closely guarded secret - and their most dangerous operative - has disappeared, leaving behind grisly evidence that their control of his extraordinary capabilities has been lost. Harry Payne, long retired Government telepath is reactivated and ordered to find him. Twenty years earlier, 'Do you play chess?' was the calling card of a serial killer whose identity was never discovered. Now, after an unscrupulous pornographer is gruesomely murdered, Detective Inspector Bannerman must re-open the files. The pieces are scattered on the chessboard, but now one of the pawns is missing, or has it merely changed its shape? DO YOU PLAY CHESS? Charlie does, but then, he can do almost anything.

The Piece System by emxlycolton

There is no true winner. Only fear. Only cowardice. And only one way out. -------- Chess, the ancestor's game. Which of them thought it would be a good idea to model society off its pieces, Jake would never know. If he had a time machine, he'd use it to throw every chessboard into a fire. Because now the world was ruined and no matter how many rebellions he led, nothing worked. So he quit. But a determined young woman set on finding the mysterious killer within the Rebellion isn't about to let him. Do they hate each other? Yes. Will she give up on him? Not a chance. word count: 100K status: pre-written, edited, beta-read and completed update schedule: daily

Castling Deceit by FrivolousFictioneers

"The art of manipulation. My dear pawns, so oblivious to the game being played around them. I am the grandmaster, always thinking several moves ahead. My opponents, mere pieces to be used and discarded at my whim" "I'll start by making a subtle opening move, like gaining their trust, getting the entire Italian Mafia men to let their guard down. Then, I'll slowly begin to maneuver them into position. The knight's jump, the bishop's slide, each piece has its role to play in my sinister symphony. The queen (or more so, the darling Joint Mafia Princess) oh so powerful, but also so vulnerable to attack. I'll make her suffer. I'll use her to trap them, to converge their attention and capture them leading to their downfall. And the king, the ultimate prize, so blind to the danger lurking nearby..... More closer than they perceive." Sacrifices will be made, pawns will fall, but the endgame is all that matters. CHECKMATE! The ultimate victory......... And they'll never even see it coming. Is the reunion of Estelle Rose Arzhel with her family a mere incident? Maybe? Maybe not..... "The game is afoot, and I am the master of the board"

Bad Boy's Game by beautifultragedies

He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

Check Mate (Unedited) by DafireA

"The game of chess is not just any old board game but it is also the game of life. You can be represented as the king, all the others are the people around you. Check mate means game over in the game but check mate in real life means your life has come to an end..." BORING! Chess is the worst board game on earth, if you gonna play chess I'll consider you as one of those who exist and don't live. Chess is the game plan. I play in tournament my father forces me to play in, using the plan I will be using during my next heist. If I win I use it, if I lose I change it. Chess is a boring board game which is the key plan to my fortune. I am the Black Falcon, this is my life on the board and against the law...

The Blindfolded Majesty by nerd_positive

Hidden behind those red blindfolds, were curious eyes that once saw the world, soaked it's hue and carried dreams like every other girl. Gandhari, mother of 101 kids, sister of Shakuni but most importantly, she was yet another bird shackled by rules. We read about people who break rules and come out of their condition but this story is about a person who learns to accept her fate as she moves ahead in her journey of life, sometimes molding herself whilst other times finding leeway. •❅─────✧❅✦❅✧─────❅• "Gandhari, you have changed." My brother said in a heavy tone, his eyes carrying an unknown guilt. "Maybe because now I have been trained for every action I take." I mumbled out the truth. •❅─────✧❅✦❅✧─────❅• This book is fiction not everything is according to Mahabharata, please refrain from pointing that events are not matching. Only the characters are taken from the epic, this book can be read even without much information regarding Mahabharata. This work is an original work. Please refrain from using this somewhere else.
