About this deal

Group Captain Ian Gilmore was not fond of chess, claiming that "wars are fought on battlefields, not chessboards." ( AUDIO: Peshka) The Eleventh Doctor once claimed that the Time Lords had invented chess, and making it "[their] game". ( TV: Nightmare in Silver) However, another account showed that they favoured variant of the game which was known as four-dimensional chess and was described as having been "adapted from Earth chess". It shared the latter's basic rules, but also involved "multiple levels", "the ability to dematerialise pieces from the board and have them materialise elsewhere on later turns of the game", and time-travelling pieces. ( GAME: The Iytean Menace [+] J. Andrew Keith, The Doctor Who Role Playing Game ( FASA, 1985).) At the end of the universe, Ashildr sat in a reality bubble with a chess board. ( TV: Hell Bent) This eventually gave rise to a legend. ( AUDIO: R&J) Humphrey, a fictional character created by Annette Billingsley, was taught chess by his grandfather and used his knowledge to beat a minor villain in one of Billingsley's The Troubleseekers novels. When a Ch'otterai brought The Troubleseekers fictional world to life, the Tenth Doctor encountered the robber and agreed to his challenge of a game of chess. However, the Doctor said it was inevitable that he would win because he had never lost a game of chess except to a metal dog which did not count, so he refused to play the game and claimed victory anyway. ( PROSE: The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage)
