Psychic Chess

I used to play chess with my friends. We had 3 chess boards and 6 or 7 players. All of us were newbies to the world of magic, so chess wasn't just about moving pieces; it was about psyching your opponent too. "Pay no attention to the queen" was a common mantra. If you could read your opponents' mind, more power to you! If you could cause a chess piece to stand out and draw attention to itself, so that you could conduct a 3 move sneak-attack; no problem! It was, absolutely, no-holds-barred chess, and I miss it.
