I'm afraid I am not familiar with this terminology, sir.
Would you please explain to me in further detail how the game of Chess is like a sword fight? We may enter a debate through personal messages, if you so desire, but leaving it here for the public to read is good as it may increase their knowledge on the subject.
I, for one, find Chess to be very unlike a sword fight. A sword fight usually means that two individuals are battling each other with a one-handed or two-handed blade.
Chess, on the other hand, sets you in in a monochromatic grid-based world where you take command of an army consisting of 16 units (including King and Queen). Your goal is to put the opponent's King in a checkmate by forcing him into a situation that he may not escape from by the next turn.
Now, I should say... it's your move!
No shadows on my kicks, too much chi, horrific.
