Poor Negi. He’s going to be scarred for life. One day he will get his revenge as a corrupt chess politician.
Good point Harry this is one of the reason why i know their competitions, they think so highly of to be silly, and why i threw that knight in their faces! Now its time to take all their medals and tricky titles away from them and lets see if they walkin around like SUPAGENIUSES, remember Um usin tricks cuz they want people to think they are sooo smart. Susan Um a lil confused i thought chess was here before fide started handin out medals?
