Chess Club
A "recreational" group dedicated to monitoring rare board states and unauthorized piece movement. We watch the game play itself.

The board goes dark and pieces start falling simultaneously. On August 12th, a Total Solar Eclipse erases the primary light source mid-game — and on the same night, the Perseids peak at up to 150 meteors per hour. This is not a coincidence. This is the opening move of The Reckoning. We do not know what the board looks like in the dark. Tonight we find out.
Post-Eclipse Debrief
The Sun rebooted. Did it come back the same? Document any positional changes you noticed during the blackout.
The Storm Begins
Perseids peak. Up to 150 pieces per hour falling from Perseus. Count what you can. Do not try to count everything.
Open Board
The shower continues. The board is dark, the pieces are falling, and The Reckoning has officially begun. No agenda. Just witness.
Eclipse glasses (for daytime phase), blanket, meteor counter, something to hold onto.
