Chess; the Mind Game

Description

What people didn’t understand was that chess wasn’t simply a game of logic and strategy. It went beyond that – it went towards the mind and behaviour of humans, our society and the way we choose to function in an ever-critical environment.

Foreword

To Woohyun, chess was a game of logic and strategy. It was won by predicting movements and outsmarting your opponents. Chess didn't go beyond the black and white board. It didn't extend from the corresponding pieces, all arranged the same way like clockwork. Chess was just a game.

Or at least, Woohyun thought.

Chapter 1: Woah! The analogies are so on point. And I did not expect the twist at the end. That was a nice way to end a story. Great job, author-nim!

Chapter 1: I can honestly say I didn't see that coming. I mean I can usually predict what's going to happen and I love psychological stories such as this one of yours. But this time, I was left speechless.
I could clearly imagine every scene, their appearances, speech, the house, the wine, everything. And that is something only few authors can do to me. My respect goes to you.
It's really amazingly written, you should definitely keep writing stories like this. It would be a waste to throw away such talent you possess. Thumbs up to you, really.
This comes from a WooGyu shipper (and I ship them really really really hard). Needless to say you just deepened my feelings for the two of them.
All in all, I really loved this, I have no words left. An upvote is definitely deserved. ♥

Chapter 1: Speechless rn... Major plot twist right there, I was not ready for that. But who was Woohyun, just killing Sunggyu randomly?

Chapter 1: i cannot comprehend all of these feels.
how this oneshot relates perfectly to everything.
it was as if you are sunggyu himself, elaborating everything using chess.
i can't think of anything else anymore. (except for woohyun sneakily killing sunggyu like that.)

Chapter 1: I love how you depict chess here . I would have never thought that chess could be this philosophical . I'll never think of chess the same way ever again . Woohyun you sneaky fellow . Who was Woohyun anyway ? Randomly killing Sunggyu like that (Although he did it in such an awesome way)
