Chess Pieces, take your places!

Welcome to the first (that we know of) Cosplay Battle Chess of Anime North! Watch as the board game of wits and strategy comes to life, as the sides of dark and light battle it out! Of course, this is all for fun, so it really doesn't matter who wins!...or does it?

The name of the game is FUN. Will you, the audience, get to see the famous Uchiha Sasuke duke it out against another Uchiha Sasuke? Will Marvin from THGTG be able to take on Darth Vader, and win? What will happen when pretty bishi-boy Kuja finally makes his way onto the board, only to find that Cloud Strife is hot on his trail, and looking to chop him down to size? Will Haruno Sakura be able to resist the charms of not only one Uchiha, but three? Uh oh, looks like there is going to be some massive Sharigan action going on, and everyone is going to get caught up in it! Don't forget those awesome pawns who will be sacrificed in order to make things even more amusing. And everyone is in for a treat, as an old school favorite makes its way around the board, with antics that we hope will leave everyone in stitches ^.^

Indeed, we hope to make this first time AN event a good one, and hope that both participants and audience will help us make it memorable for all. Until the convention and the game, I hope you all have a good time thinking up ways the two sides could battle it out!
