Chess Trivia (Mini #34)

Grab your board and pieces, because it's time for chess trivia. For our latest bonus mini episode, I've got 10 quick trivia questions about the game.

What piece starts in each of the four corners of the board? The Rook #3 What piece can move diagonally and only diagonally for as many squares as it wants to the Bishop #4 how many spaces are on a chess board? The board is 8 by 8, so 64 spaces total #5 What word is said when one player defeats another in chess? Checkmate #6? What is it called when neither player can win a chess match? Stalemate #7 How many different types of pieces are there? There are six different types of pieces in chess #8. How many total pieces are there in a complete chess set? 32 pieces in total #9 How many squares at a time can a king move? Unless castling, he can only move one square at a time? #10 What piece combines the moves of both? A Rook and a Bishop. The queen and that's it. I love a nice game of chess. Anyone else let me know on Spotify what your favorite chess piece is, or if it's not your game, what your favorite war game is. We might feature it in a future episode.

Immortality isn't just about living forever. Sometimes it's about forever refusing to let things die. For his 15th birthday, David Rose wishes for things to go back to the way they were. He wants the nightmares to end, the bullies to leave, and the claustrophobic memories of his near drowning to disappear, not to mention his surreal encounter with a mythical creature. He stands with his little sister Rachel in front of their mother's grave and pledges to seek the truth about what really happened on that terrible evening a year ago. But this quest for truth threatens to unleash a sinister plot centuries in the making. David must awaken in time to the incredible truth, to his new found powers, and to the realization that to protect his family and survive in a world he's always known, he must come to grips with the dark secrets of a world he never knew existed. Evolved Publishing presents an extraordinary adventure through Time, an epic tale of hesitant heroism and the timeless battle between good and evil in the first book in the David Rose series of young adult fantasies, The Awakening of David Rose, written by Darrell Rothman and narrated by Brian Rollins.
