[ WP ] With advanced technology , alien invaders kill every military leader and tactician in one fell swoop . You , a chess grandmaster , are humanity 's last hope .

No one knows how they did it. One day we woke up and the story that covered the news was that the military leaders of every nation were dead. Presidents too, apparently they counted. 
 
 No one knew what had happened either, not until we received the message. They told us that without our leadership we were weak and could not win. Surprisingly they also killed off all our Chess players, or at least all the ones that knew were still alive. For you see, these aliens did n't realize that one of the greatest had faked his own death and was still alive at that moment. That's right boys, Bobby Fischer is back. 
 
 If you do n't know me, understand that I'm the only Chess Grandmaster from the U.S. to ever have lived, considered by many to be the greatest player in the world. To keep my story short, I was accused of tax fraud by the U.S. and took refuge in Iceland when I could n't return. Thing is, The U.S.A. is diligent, and they found me and they hunted me down. I escaped them the first time, and was sure I was safe. 
 
 Turns out I was n't, and was nearly caught in a surprise raid on my home, but luckily I was away at my friend's house. After that near-capture though, I knew I needed to get away. So I faked my death, killed myself off and just made it impossible for the U.S. to keep looking for me. I'm pretty sure I managed to convince them I was dead. After all, if I convinced the aliens I must've convinced the U.S. too. 
 
 So now, I'm standing in front of an Icelandic T.V. studio, about to go live in a couple of minutes, and announce to the world that we still have hope. What that hope is? I'm pretty sure it's not me, although I guess it might have to be. What does a Chess player know about the art of war? Well not much, but luckily I have a copy of the Art of War at home, and that could be useful. After all, I'm not certain that treating people like pawns is the greatest idea to wage a war. 
 
 Although, I guess that's how it's worked for centuries. 
 
 `` Bobby, you better make this good. `` Rejka said to me, `` We might only be able to keep you on air for a couple of minutes at best. The aliens will shut us down fast.'' 
 
 I nodded, `` I understand that. I do n't have much to say.'' 
 
 He gulped, `` Well then, we should get started as soon as possible. If they catch our signals before we go live we're down before we've begun. Alright, guys. Roll the cameras.'' 
 
 I stared right into the camera, knowing that my face was being projected over every T.V. screen in the world and my voice coming out of every thing that send sound out. 
 
 `` Hello, my fellow defenders of this world. My name is Bobby Fischer, one of the greatest Chess players of all time.'' I began, `` And I'm telling you that we are only in check.''
