| This cheese is the only food which can entice the Chess Master, for its delicate aroma carries the scent... of victory! The Kings of both teams long for a morsel of this cheese, believing it will bring them mastery over the game, but if you can defeat them, the Chess Master himself will challenge you for a piece. Don't leave this cheese out too long, though, or you may find yourself with a stale, mate. | |
