Image 85051: apple_bloom chess Code

MLP Note: Apple Bloom just made an illegal move in chess, so it doesn't make sense that she could say checkmate, she might possibly say check but the use of the term here is wrong. The only way this could be a legal move is if this were blitz chess, also known as "Fast Chess". However, in this scene, it is never declared they are playing "Fast Chess", and neither of the players are using clocks to time their turns in the game.

MLP Note 2: The reason why Apple Bloom did this is because the game was going to turn into a threefold rep. By pulling this illegal move, she is able to gain insight into Zero's personality, and "un-mask" part of him, thus fulfilling her victory condition in a subtle and Apple Bloom-ish manner. To look at the picture more properly, think of the chess board not as a game but as a battlefield. Zero's other options were to take her King, which would have made him similar to his father, or to call Apple Bloom out on making an illegal move, which would have made Zero look dumb since "lol rules of war". What Zero chose to do was keep his pride and run away from a free victory. Furthermore, by placing his King behind a pawn instead of any other open tile, Zero symbolically shows cowardice.

Hah.

I actually made this myself yesterday (along with a second version that said Equestria instead of Britannia) but didn't get around to uploading it.

I come on here now to upload them only to see this.

Which is just as well as it seems I had spelt Britannia wrong....
