       In the distant future, the world is enthralled with the latest
       gaming craze. Checkmate! Checkmate is a virtual reality fighting
       game in which players, or teams up to 4 v 4 fight in Battle
       Arenas spread all across the city. Inside an arena, a players
       physical abilitys are boosted immensely, based on your player
       stats, so even a child, with a high enough strength stat, could
       match or beat the strength of a fully grown adult.
       To play the game, you must first own a special watch, which
       players have come to refer to as their Chess Piece. Your Chess
       Piece contains all your records and data, including your
       personal armor model. Armor is fully custom, with certain models
       having a basic stat they excell in. Rook type armor has higher
       defense, but tend to have low speed. Bishops are long range
       specialists with high speed, but low defense. And finally, the
       Knight models are balanced in their stats all around.
       The game is played by people of all ages, and has even become a
       pro sport. Ranking is digitally followed on a global scale, and
       is divided into rank levels. The beginner/child rank is the Pawn
       rank. Next comes the Rook rank, Bishop rank, Knight, Queen, and
       finally, King rank, reserved for the very best. Players are
       ranked in their divisions by letter and number. For example,
       someone with a rank of P10 is the tenth best player in the Pawn
       division. This means they are better than anyone ranked P11 or
       higher, but are lower in rank than anyone ranked P9 through P1.
       They would also be lower on the ladder than anyone in the higher
       divisions, such as B20.
       As with every sport, there are Pros, there are those who play
       just for fun, and then there are the Dreamers, those who aspire
       to be the very best, and wish to get the highest rank, K-zero,
       commonly refered to as The White King.
