How to Not get Killed - Tuesday - Period 3

When the students joined they class they would see a gigantic person sized chessboard along with chess pieces that dwarfed even the tallest in the class. Yondaime walked out from in between two of the pieces and smiled. "Chess is a game that has been played for centuries and just about every culture has their own version of it. It teaches the player strategy, when to hold back, when to move forward, when sacrifice is necessary, how to plan…" He paused and shrugged. "It's been used as a metaphor for real life and so today you'll be playing the game with yourself as the pieces. I would like everyone to break up into two teams for each side of the board; you're obviously not going to replace all the pieces. One person on each side will be the captain; it's up to you all to vote who and that person will order the other pieces around the board, but bear in mind to think through all your choices carefully or you'll kill your classmates."

Well not literally, but it did put a sense of responsibility to the role of leader.

"I've included a packet on how certain chess pieces move and the basics on how to win a game. Try to keep everything clean and I'll have a first aid kit over here in case anyone gets hurt. Obviously the point of it is not to get hurt and to avoid loosing as many of your people as you can while capturing the King of the opposing force, but it may be more difficult than you realize."
