And yet none of the pieces revealed themselves to be BotBots in disguise. Sigh

Chess is an Earthly game originating from a landmass known to the squishy fleshlings that inhabit it as India. Because of the Hungry Dragon campaign, two versions of this game include pieces based on an elaborate cover-up by an autonomous government agency.

It is not Fullstasis.
