Editing Chess (section)

== Impact ==
Originally the [[System]] regarded playing chess as something that could level <Strategy> classes.{{cite}}  until the System finally disabled it{{ref|Levels}}, only to enable it again with reduced experience rewards.{{ref|9.61 G}}

Playing chess can also grant [[classes]] as well as [[skills]], for example:
* Niers' [Grandmaster Strategist] class{{ref|Quiet Discussions}} and his skill [Brigade: Castling the Pieces]{{ref|8.80}}
* Erin's temporary [Grandmaster of Death, Advent of Living Chess] class and her temporary skills [Visions of Defeat (Legendary)], [Chessboard: Subsumed Reality, Our Board is the World], [Clash of Wills] as well as the temporary [[Auras|aura]] [Aura of Giants (Chess)]{{ref|9.20}}
* Callidus' [Genius of Sloth] class and his skill [Move Reality Like Chess]{{ref|9.20}}
