"I suppose this is where the inanimate pieces will be put away after the
game is over," Fred said. "Though the case doesn't contain the seven white
pieces that our group has been standing in for, as one might have
expected. Something else that doesn't seem quite to fit is there being
thirty-two chairs, when there are only seven human 'pieces'."
"You are assuming that this game that we are involved in is the only one," Astra replied. "Maybe there are many games, with varying numbers of human participants?... Hold on, one of our side's pieces is about to move, I think... "Yes, pawn captures the pawn on Q5. The Doctor has evidently decided that capturing the Knight can wait. Black has no real alternative to recapturing, as far as I can see. Otherwise the Rook would have to move, and we'd gain another pawn. Yes, he's recaptured. That nicely opens up the diagonal for Demivixen Astra. The pawn that Black has just moved could be captured by Josh now. I wonder if that is what the Doctor will do?" 21. PxP PxP
