It's me or the show is too pink. Well the chess game became a totally random game about a war and the power to transform your enemies into your allies.

Kind of overrated.

That chess/strategy game is probably the most intense, epic and glorious chess-similar game I've ever seen! Sora's skills are not only used strategically but also creatively! Plus, Shiro as the kawaii symbol only adds up to how amazing this episode is! Steph talks a lot which is not a good character trait but she's basically the manifestation of the audiences who do not know what's going on so it's alright...

I thought there would be a fan-service scene after this opening, but instead, we got...

Quite fun episode, although I didn't like all the randomness that ended up appearing during the game... I guess this is one of the reasons why some people say NGNL is full of ass-pulls.

Well it's not chess anymore, there's troop morale and morality in actions (or in this case, hotbloodedness!) as well! Lots of improvisation, and impromptu decisions, then we get to see their self doubt so I guess that accounts for something.

Loved this episode, Shiro herself may not have the commanding presence that this game required, but she perservered and showed her best. These to are really a good team.

This anime is so goofy that it is pretty good! It's a fun to watch episode with all sorts of bits to remind you of other anime you have seen. The image linked by the OP of this thread reminded me of Cromartie High and its artwork. Well done!

Purple bimbo internally boasts that they'll never figure this game out but then instantly gives it away by moving a pawn 3 spaces on her very first turn. What purpose was there even in that move? Why the hell would you even do that? It took no pieces nor could it possibly set up a strategy worth giving away the workings of the game. That's so stupid.

Sora is a genius, he almost always knows what to do and when he doesn't, he always manages, it's amazing. The way in which he brought the queen to his team was very funny and just ingenious.

Objected Phoenix Wright style, Followed by a Jojo reference of course we won't have anime without Jojo references

Chess with the pieces that has a will of its own that's new of course the siblings won't give in to their tricks, And yet there they are again with their niche type of playstyle, Of course I'll surrender my life for cuteness especially if it's for Shiro.

This episode was absolute bullshit and I loved it, for a moment I thought there would be actual stakes and they didn't they just bullshitted the rules, which is lazy writing, yes, but it was absolutely fun to watch. Also I just want to massively compliment this anime for its unique way of handling conflict, using games rather than generic boring action fight scenes.

I enjoyed this game of "chess" which wasn't actually chess than most action battle scenes I've seen. This episode wasn't very good story or narrative wise, but it did have amazing writing when it came to dialogue and that's what made this episode so entertaining. Also I absolutely love the dynamic between the two siblings.

Also Jojo reference

What kind of chess game is that?? On top of that the funniest part is how Sora is manipulating the chess pieces. Who in the world motivates in that way๐Ÿ˜‚. Sora and Shiro in no way loose any game. I liked the way they both coordinate each other during games.
The plot is cool, it sticks to the gaming anxiety adding comedy to it. This chess match is super.

The madlads really packaged their Phoenix Wright references with their own knockoff Cornered theme that genuinely sounds good as its own track.

Probably should be more embarrassed to admit this but that speech in all its hype and degenerate glory gave me the most goosebumps I've had from anything in like forever. I was out on the board ready to die for my nation before I even knew it.

Love how we went from a board game to an RTS to zombie tag(?) to Fire Emblem in the span of half a duel.
