West of Southern Midgaard stands the Great Chessboard -- a living metaphor of the eternal struggle of the great Paths. Be careful: the wicked black pieces will attack strangers. But if you can defeat the pieces, you can help yourself to the gold in their treasuries.

And if you fancy a real game of chess with living players, try buying a chessboard from the grocer in Midgaard and use it.
