“The King must die so that the game may live!”

Bring out your ballista, or utilize your spy in the opponent king’s court. You do have a few in there, right?

Assuming your king is the white one:

You need to convince all the black pawns that sacrificing themselves to the strange machine will turn them white in the afterlife… or some other political racist bullshit

If you can get a pawn to the other end of the board, you can turn it into a Scarlet Pimpernel.

just put the tip your hat in the guillotine.

they’re just trying to give you a chess briss.
