Is your character better at chess or driving
Tyra
she's a Pokemon character so

chess
Magical☆Gurll
this is the ultimate dichotomy
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
grainne is better at chess
red is better at driving
tenka is good at neither
pandora is probably passable at both if someone teaches her.
Quinneapolis
Anzu doesn't have access to cars but would still be better at driving than chess if you pushed her into one
Gabiluzbad
Chess
shivorce
driving
Princess Emily
Pascal is better at chess, even though she once wanted to be a racecar driver,
Argent is better at driving,
Hikari is better at Grande Aurex,
Alara is better at chess,
Marina is better at driving illegally,
dragon time
Recalls fondly Iseul in the driving challenge and the drunk chess challenge
dragon time
I don't know which he is worse at
Echo
Jail is better at driving. She is, in fact, terrifyingly skilled at driving and routinely pulls off impossible bullshit stunts.
Echo
I think she knows what the basic rules of chess are and could play it, but probably has never won a game without cheating wildly.
⏏️ndrusi
chess: karen, arianna, olympia, reika
driving: ricky, lala
please don't let her attempt either: dark dream
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
what if we combined them
chess driving
you drive a racecar and you can make one move every lap, even if your opponent hasn't finished their lap yet
Echo
Also, she knows exactly one named chess strategy and it's the Bongcloud Maneuver, which she learned specifically because of the name.
Echo
Mercy is better at chess, although she's honestly only kind of okay at chess. She just has no idea how to drive, she never learned.
moontouched
zoa is better at driving than chess
moontouched
ekkehardt is decent at both but prefers chess
Frozen Time
G'raha doesn't know how to drive, but if he did, I'm going to say that he'd actually be better at it than he is at chess.
Quinneapolis
he learned from the best (Iseul)
Frozen Time
Tsubasa probably doesn't know either but if he did, I'm going to say he's better at chess than driving because obviously Ageha is better at driving than chess.
Echo
Preacher is better at driving, on the grounds that a Gundam is technically a vehicle.
Echo
Magdalena, inexplicably, is fantastic at chess.
Quinneapolis
Zuri is better at driving
Quinneapolis
She feels like she should be good at chess based on her vibes but she just can't get into it
Quinneapolis
meanwhile her synblade power is like the ultimate stunt driver ability
Echo
I think Mercy's older sisters were both pretty good at chess and other strategy games, so she learned because she wanted to play with them. But she was never actually all that invested in the actual game, she just wanted to spend time with them and feel included.
Echo
(Meanwhile, Charity and Prudence were using the game as a socially acceptable outlet to channel their desire to flat-out strangle each other.)
Quinneapolis
also 𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 I feel like it would be absolutely hysterical if Zuri couldn't beat Erina at chess
Echo
So she knows a lot about chess and has a fairly high-level understanding of the rules and gameplay, but is really only a mediocre player, personally.
Echo
Same with go and shogi.
Echo
Most importantly: I can't say whether Celadon is better at chess or driving, because hexachess can potentially involve driving.
Echo
Cars haven't been invented yet, but in a really good game of hexachess that won't stop you.
oh i'm scary
Osha's definitely better at chess
oh i'm scary
and I don't know if she's even above average at chess
𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲
it's officially canon. this is the funniest thing imaginable
Quinneapolis
it's the choice paralysis for zuri. she gets so caught up trying to anticipate the game state in four turns that she beefs it in the present
Magical☆Gurll
jess is better at driving, witch is better at chess, lulu is not
bluecanary
volk is bad at both but the traffic is bad enough in PY that i dont think hes driven in years
big woop
Any given permutation of AmRa is better at driving but mostly because they're all bored by chess
Quinneapolis
carefully planning out how to arrange a checkmate and just drops her queen
Echo
bluecanary : I think Lankhet is excellent at whatever the ancient Sea People equivalent of chess is, but sadly cannot drive on account of not fitting in cars.
Echo
Meanwhile, Ashti's go-to chess strategy is "lean waaaaaay over the board and try to seduce your opponent by making suggestive comments about rooks".
Echo
This is known in professional chess circles as the "Isle of Joy maneuver" and is widely frowned upon.
Quinneapolis
Ashti you idiot the rook isn't even in the top three sexiest chess pieces
Echo
Yes, but they like a challenge.
Echo
Any idiot can make innuendo about a piece called "the queen", you need to mix it up a bit.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
please, so you go for the piece that is literally a tower?
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
go for the bishops
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
that'll REALLYT fuck with them
Echo
Catholicism is inherently horny and you know it, Hannah.
bluecanary
volk: [sweating, trying to remember how to castle]
volk's brain: TIME FLIES IT DOESNT SEEM A MINUTE SINCE THE TIROLEAN SPA HAD THE CHESS BOYS IN IT
bluecanary
ashti: [putting captured pawns into their cleavage]
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i had a counterargument but it's probably too dark and not funny enough for this plurk so instead:
Echo
Exactly, you get it.
bluecanary
hera, standing behind them: volk its the - move the - the pawn to. no. :-( no. put the pawn in - no.
dragon time
Salvezra is really bad at chess but he is great at looking pensive and serious and moving the pieces to other places on the board
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
sara can defeat any other synblade in chess
(she sends her siblings to be distracting menaces and plays while her siblings are trying to sit on her opponent's lap and play also)
bluecanary
connor can play chess because hes a computer but when he drives he mistakes a truck for the sky and accelerates into a wall because hes a computer
bluecanary
bill cipher is canonically obsessed with chess and has tiny little legs so thats easy
Lightning Bolt
Eliza is probably slightly better at driving but everyone would prefer she stick to chess
Lightning Bolt
Audrey doesn't do either really but would probably be less of a danger behind a wheel
Lightning Bolt
Jared is surprisingly good at chess (he may or may not be eating the pieces)
Lightning Bolt
Emma is too young to drive and okay at chess
Lightning Bolt
Franciscus is definitely more of a chess guy, he leaves the driving to his chaffeurs or just rides his giant bird
