Chess

"It's all about strategy. He's planning his next move, and the move after that, and the move after that."

- Elizabeth Weir

Chess is a recreational and competitive game played between two players that originates on Earth. Chess is often played by Atlantis personnel in Atlantis' mess hall and by Samantha Carter and Cassandra on Saturdays. On one occasion, Cassandra even levitated a chess piece when she developed telekinetic powers.
