We had mentioned the light cycles would make good castles (AKA "rooks"), but I/O towers would be cool, too. There are "good" (blue) and "bad" (red) I/O towers, so it could work.

Have the "real" MCP as the black bishop.
I suggest Crom as white pawn, and Ram as white knight.

Plus it would reflect how it was in the film. Sark could move everywhere on the grid (just like the queen piece can) but the MCP was limited in movement and much more effective as a menace in the real world. (Just like the King Piece can only move one square)

But there are 2 black bishops. Having 2 MCPs would seem odd...

Here is my attempt:

Pawns W: Misc Programs (with discs) B: Guards
Rooks: Lightcycles
Knights: Recognizers (explains their movement lol)
Bishops: Tanks
King: Flynn/MCP
Queen: Tron/Sark

Oooh...nice combo of kings there Corruption! I'd only say a few changes to that list:

Pawns W: Misc Programs (with discs) B: Guards
Rooks: I/O TowersKnights: LightcyclesBishops: Dumont/Sark's Lieutenant
King: Flynn/MCP
Queen: Tron/Sark

Yeah I wasn't totally happy with tanks as bishops.

We need two more bishops (unless we want twins). Maybe Clu for white.

Or go for non-people for all duplicate pieces ( rooks/knights/bishops) - ie Lightcycles, Recognizers, and I/O towers.

I liked bits for pawns, but thought it would be more fun to go with programs/guards.

I don't think so. According to the dictionary, a king is "one that is supreme or preeminent in a particular group, category, or sphere." Or, "The perfect, omniscient, omnipotent being; God."

The MCP, in my opinion, is much more powerful than Sark. His sphere of influence and power stretches the entire game grid/mesa. The MCP bosses Sark (and Dillinger) around, thus implying he is at the top of the chain of command; just as any king would be.

In the end of the movie, it wasn't the defeat of Sark that freed the system; it was the defeat of the MCP. Thus, my vote for king is definitely the MCP.

Exactly what I was getting at. I mean we all saw what happened when Sark stepped out of line for that brief moment (In front of the MCP). And let us not forget his psychology.

It all comes down to this in the end: The Chain of Command.

Well I wasn't much into psychology over here. Never majored into ieither. Just pure programming fun for me in what ever I did over here. I guess you can say Programming is like chess to some extent. Now lets just get back to what w're going to be the chess sets. I wonder if this would look good in like a gold (Or Copper looking) and silver looking Aluminium made characters on a mahogany and oak set.... Hmmm. Pondering. You know the kind that looks kind of expensive there. But not really.

It's a bit off the topic, but, how about a Tron-sector chess set...with us as the peices?

anyway, for my idea...
You can't have a Tron chess set without Dumont and Ram...
It just wouldn't be right, leaving them out...

As for that psychology thing, I took a little sociology. The rest is from years and years of observation (And writting stories/fanfiction). I've never taking psychology.... I just happen to know stuff..... ^^;;

Well to each their own right Kamui. Well when I try and do story writing there. Like for film or just in general story telling. I used a technic that I had learnt and from what I had learnt from programming as well. Kind of detailing the code of what does what and how certain things works within the program. Kind of like just little comments about things in the program itself.

I try to imagine it like on the big screen whehn I close my eyes. And just try and give as many details as I see the scene. and describe it as much as possible. When I do my story telling anyways I think its going of topic on this one. And it should be about the tron chess pieces.

At least we agree the queen and king from the black side is the MCP for teh king, Sark for the queen. Tron and Flynn for the otherside. I'm just wonering if Yori should be a part in that as for the queen sie for the white. And maybe either flynn or tron for the king there. What about using dumont as one of the other positions like for the knights, or castles I guess you can call them.

OK MCP is the king ( less mobile) sark is the queen Dark side
light side would be uhhh .. tron as the king and mercury as the queen (cas yori was a wuss ) Or the I/Oguardian as king and Tron as queen ( but I think he'd digitize your azz if you called him a queen ...


The rest of the pieces should be the same for each side

Pawn= Bits Yes for light and No for dark ??
Rook - I/O tower ( because rooks are usualy depicted/referred to as towers
Bishops- the movie ICP w/ staff
Knight - Cyclesorder abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

*Cracks knuckles* Okay. Here's what I'm thinking:

(Program/user mix)

Tron: Queen (Because he can move anywhere)
Flynn: King (Because he was more powerful than Tron)

If you followed the Program/User mix logic, then you HAVE to have Dillenger on the otherside and that screws things up.

Next version (Programs only) :

Tron: Queen
Yori: King (Why? Because in the movie, if it weren't for Tron would she have really planned her "escape" on her own? She needed/relied on Tron to help her out. So she is kinda limited on movement.)

This works a bit more smoother because then you wouldn't have to reconfigure the otherside to slot Dillenger in. So less worry and less hassle if you get my drift.
