Reviews for The Chess Players
sleeploss chapter 1 . 2/1/2016
I'm absolutly thrilled. This story is amazing, exactly in Pratchett's spirit. Vetinari is my personal favourite and the meeting with the Doctor is flawless. Makes me wonder: is there any chance for something more? At least one more Discworld fic for this perfection sake?

This may be the best thing to happen ever in the grand possibilities of everything this... This is perfect.

Great idea!

I loved this fic.

Very in character and well-written.

I love this cross over! Two of the most scheming, convoluted and yet "perfectly sane" genius characters ever created playing an unfriendly game of chess- brilliant. This was a fun read nice work. Though personally if it had been me I would have had it end in Stalemate...

I really love the concept here - these are definitely two characters that work well in opposition to each other :D And the bit about the chess-playing machines is just brilliant. I think the style is probably a bit more Simon R. Green than Terry Pratchett, though (not that that's a bad thing; they're both great authors). One minor quibble: I can't really see the Patrician saying "Oh and um...check." Maybe that's just me, but he doesn't really strike me as an 'um' sort of person :) Great writing, though!

Oo! That was fun! :D The footnotes were especially interesting and I love how the story focused around someone other than Death. Yes, he is everyone's favorite character (usually) but it is nice to have some variety. I it and have added it to my C2!

PS. Thanks for the fav! ;D

I love it. You completely captured Terry Pratchett's voice, as well as kept me laughing the whole story. It was hilarious and perfectly in character.

I love the part about the world rolled into a ball and doing a strange spinny thing on its axis.

Never seen any of the Doctor Who series and only recently introduced to the Discworld series of books, but I have to say your little story is most impressive :)

Great job capturing the style of the Discworld stories, I really enjoyed this piece! It's too bad the format doesn't work so well with footnotes, but I'm glad you put them in anyway. Thanks for sharing!
