AND THE SURVEY RESULTS ARE: B!! Most of my reviewers are in Group B!!
Followed by C and A!
Chess Instructions:
-There are 16 pieces for every color—white and black.
-8 pawns on each side.
-2 bishops on different colors—black and red—on each side.
-2 knights on each side.
-2 castles/rooks on each side.
-And a queen and king on each side.
Setting Up:
-the 2 rooks go on the last spaces on each side.
-The rook on your left must always be standing on a black square.
-Then 2 knights will stand adjacent to the 2 rooks.
-Followed by the 2 bishops adjacent to the knights.
-Then the king and queen takes place. The queen must always stand on her own color. Say I have a dark-colored queen (black). It goes on the dark-colored square (black). The lighter-colored queen (white) goes on the lighter color (red)
-The 8 pawns stand in a row in front of the other subjects.
-Game begins. White moves first.
How to Play:
-castle/rooks moves horizontally in a "" sign. It may go forward, backward, left, right, for any moves they desire.
-Bishops moves in an "X" way. They may go however many steps they want. The red bishop goes in a red "X" way, contrary the black bishop.
-The knights go in L's. They move forward/backward 2 spaces, then left/right 1 space. They could also move left/right 2 spaces, and forward/backward 1 space.
-The queen moves in any direction it wants with however many steps it wants. The king goes in any direction it wants but can only move 1 space.
-The pawns can go 1 or 2 steps forward in its first move, but only 1 step since then. They kill each other diagonally, and when the pawn reaches to the end of the other side, the controller may choose to make it anything he/she wants, like changing it to a queen.
Checkmate
When the king is open, you may use anything to check it. For example, the king is on a red square. You can check it by using a red bishop, a queen, a pawn, a castle and any other available moves (a knight). When you check the king and it can't move anywhere, meaning that every move it makes is a check, the game is over. You call out "Checkmate".

Chapter 3: The Li Mansion
"What?" Sakura asked, eyes wide. "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Syaoran shook his head. "Waiter!"
The waiter a moment ago came with a towel on his head. "Yes, luvers?" he chuckled. Syaoran stared, and handed him a five-dollar bill.
"What for?" The waiter asked, confused.
"Your tip, Mister Annoying. For you to shut up." Syaoran said rudely. "Excuse this pervert," Sakura smiled, "he's just embarrassed that you called us 'luvers'. Personally, I think that lady over there is staring at you ever since we got here."
"Where?" the waiter gaped, searching around the tables in McDonald's. Sakura shook her head, and laughed. "Luvers!" she whispered playfully.
"Com'on, Sakura, let's get outta here." Syaoran said emotionlessly. He took Sakura's hand in his grasp and led her out of the frenzy.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.
"That stupid waiter. If only I'm in Japan. People would be bowing at me instead of calling us 'luvers'." Syaoran said sarcastically, sticking his tongue out to Sakura. Sakura smiled, and tapped her hand on Syaoran's messy hair.
"You know, for a billionaire, that hair really needs to be tamed."
"Yeah, I know." Syaoran nodded as he snuck his hand up Sakura's back and pulled off her braids. "Look who's talkin'!"
Sakura glared at Syaoran furiously, then burst into laughter.
---------------
Arriving at the Li mansion, Syaoran led Sakura out of the taxi, and into the house. As she pushed open the front gate, Sakura saw a fountain surrounded by beautiful flowers of roses, and milk-colored paved ground.
"It's beautiful!" Sakura gasped. Syaoran paid no attention to her, but murmured something like, "Why is everyone so girly around here?"
As Syaoran pushed the doorbell, a very surprised butler Wei greeted him with a warm welcome. "Hello, Master Li, and welcome home." Syaoran nodded casually while Sakura stared at the majestic figure of the butler with light-tanned hair and shiny eyes. He pulled the door open and as they walked inside, a grand tan staircase like in a palace appeared before them, and red carpets spread around.
"Oh hi, Xiaolang!" A girl with long, straight black hair and light- brown eyes greeted him. "Who's your friend?"
"Nobody. Get away from me you idiot sister!" Syaoran said rudely as he pushed the girl away.
"Don't be rude!" Sakura winced. "Hi, I'm Sakura Kinomoto from Tomoeda, Japan. I will be going to the same school as Syaoran soon!"
At this time, three other figures with the same face and hair popped next to the girl. "Ai!" Sakura shrieked, "CLONE FREAKS!" she pointed at the four, accusing.
"Or... twins? Maybe?" One of them smiled generously. Sakura stared at them for a while, unconvinced. "You know, this is the first time that Xiao's ever brought a girl home!"
Syaoran turned at the mention of his name (he was getting snacks), and blushed deeply. "THAT'S NOT TRUE!!" he protested embarrassedly. Sakura raised her eyebrows, a silent smirk climbing up her face.
"Really?" she sneered as Syaoran backed away to the wall. She inched toward him, sucking his soul. They were so close that they could feel each other's breaths.
00000000
Sakura: What a freak! He's never brought a girl home? And to think, I believed him head to toe when he said he was the hot soccer captain and the boy of everyone's dreams. He's just a big bragger.
Syaoran: Uh-oh. WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO TO ME? WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE, klutz! Waittaminate... I've brought a girl home before! Meiling!! ... Hold on... I didn't. She beat me up then dragged me home... Ugh! Terrible memories. Why can't I just fight the girl back?! Stupid soft spot Syaoran!
00000000
"Of course not!" Syaoran bloated. "Who do you think I am? Freak-show?"
"No..." Sakura admitted, "I just thought that I was special for being the first girl to the Li mansion!"
Syaoran thought for a minute. "Okay. You win. I lied. If I'd ever brought anybody from school here, they'd know my secret—then I'm dead."
Sakura nodded in sympathy. "What made she special this time?" Fa-Fa asked. She has the same face of all the twins, but she was evidently the leader of them all. "I mean, we made our social background clear at our school. Guys like Ken and Mike and Josh and totally falling at our heels!" Fa-Fa said dreamily.
"And Aaron." La-La added.
"Whatever."
Sakura walked away from the anxious Syaoran, and stood next to the twins. "Yeah... why won't you tell kids at our school that you're a billionaire?"
Syaoran stared at Sakura hotly. "You really are a klutz."
Sakura's face reddened, and rested her head on one of the twins. "Look, Kinomoto—" Sakura raised her eyebrow at the sound of her last name (he remembered! She thought.) "—If I ever do tell people at school about my social background, all the girls and guys will throw themselves at me. Seriously. I don't want gold-diggers by my side! I want real friendship!" Syaoran argued.
"Xiaolang..." Ha-Ha trailed off, "just because you're a billionaire doesn't make gold-diggers come to you! I mean, you can still have a steady relationship and real friends!"
"She's right." Ta-Ta agreed.
Syaoran sighed. "You wouldn't understand." He ran and left the room. Sakura stared sympathetically, and turned to the sisters. "Excuse me for a while, please." She pleaded politely, and ran after him.
Out in the garden, Sakura found Syaoran sitting on an un-built brick wall, burying his head in his laps. "Syaoran?"
Syaoran turned, then buried his head back again.
"I know exactly what you are talking about." Sakura smiled warmly as she sat down next to him.
"Oh yeah?" Syaoran sat up, stirring interest.
"Yeah. High school girls will just throw themselves at you, and the guys would help you finish your homework and even volunteer to do them for you. It's like suddenly everyone wants to be your best friend." Sakura explained.
"How do you know?" Syaoran asked.
"Well... let's just say that I read a lot of books. Besides, your sisters have nothing to lose. They're twins. They are their real friendship. You wouldn't have yours if everyone were gold-diggers." Sakura grinned. Syaoran muttered something like, "Just two more years and I'll be off."
"What do you mean?"
"About what?"
"About 'just two more years and I'll be off'? Is that your dream of getting out of here?" Sakura said gently.
"Well... kind of. You see, my mother has already agreed to let me live on my own when I'm eighteen. And that's the same year that I'll start college. Hopefully I'll get out of this dump by then." Syaoran whispered as he picked up a wild sunflower in between weeds and shredded it with his hands.
"Don't do that!" Sakura protested as she reached for the sunflower and planted it in the soil again.
"Why not?" Syaoran asked, annoyed. Women, he thought bitterly.
"Because. Because that sunflower is loved when you didn't pick it up. It has its life with morning sunrays and scarlet sunsets—melted in moonlight's shadows. Wind kisses it softly against its tiny body, and birds singing, chirping merrily at it—its whole existence on this earth is love. But when you pick it up and shred it cruelly with your hand, you're ruining its life because you're expressing your anger through it. Don't do that. Let the sunflower live happy." Sakura said cheerfully.
Syaoran gazed in her eyes, then turned and saw the sunflower standing meekly among weeds, so strong, yet so weak. "We've had my turn. What's your dream, then, Sakura?"
Sakura smiled at herself as she began exploring her daydream. "I have two dreams. One is to be an internationally-known chess champion."
"Um-hmm. And the other?" Syaoran asked curiously.
"The other... well, I want to be like the sunflower. I want to be loved, be held, be kissed... nobody's ever done that to me at the orphanage before." Sakura admitted sadly.
Light raced through Syaoran's mind. "Sakura... what would you say... if I granted one of your dreams now?"
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked cluelessly.
Syaoran gazed at a sea of emerald, reached out his hand and placed it on Sakura's chin. He inched closer... and closer... and closer...
