“People respond to this show because it’s so different. You don’t know who is safe and who’s not. Usually, you know who’s going to win the fight, but in this, you don’t. It could be the hero, it could be the villain.” -Kit Harington

Game Of Thrones Cast for Rolling Stone

The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s King by placing it under threat of capture which cannot be avoided.

#NOTHING MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN PEOPLE GETTING CHESS METAPHORS RIGHT #the pawn; least powerful piece on the board— but with one wild move and if you get it to the end it can become the most powerful #the bishop; amazing range but can only move on it’s color— a piece that will surprise you #the knight; the irrational piece— hardest to predict #the rook; who guards the king— a long range piece #the king; the ultimate goal— but can’t do the work itself #the queen; the most powerful piece on the board— the only piece that doesn’t emulate it in some way is the knight

(not my tags but they are so great, so I add them)
