 What does team chess entail? And can I be a rook?
We make three teams, White, Black, and Rook. Only Dream Trawler is on the Rook team, and he moves all the rooks. Chaotic neutral. Must ask permission to castle.
I would also play this if it was happening.

From what I understand:
6 or 8 people will be split evenly into two teams, one black and one white. Each member of each team will rotate making moves. Otherwise it's just normal chess
Here's a link to the first one: https://webdiplomacy.net/contrib/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5112
Looks really fun! I'd be down to join if it's happening.

:D

I thought I was being a bit obvious, luckily nobody else caught on :p

Next round will be up soon
There have been quite a few chess references in 20Q, especially as of late. Maybe I should bring back Team Chess for a third round on the forum.
do it!

idk what team chess is but it sounds fun :3
just read through the first game... would love to play this (even though i'm not very good at chess :p)

I figured you were onto it when you asked about the death location. Yes, Robert (Bobby) Fischer is correct!
:D

I do think it's likely a chess player given the answer to sports even if it isn't him

 Is this person primarily known for playing a sport?

(this is all I could think of that would cover a grey area with 'entertainment' so if this is no the hesitation is probably specific to this person)
Yes, at least it is in one of Wikipedia’s categories of sports.
