COSPLAY CHESS: ANIME EXPO: NEVER DIE MODE 2013

Hello one and all! Welcome to the official Cosplay Chess thread for Anime Expo 2013. Also be sure to follow us on FaceBook for more information

What is Cosplay Chess? Cosplay Chess is a game in which the cosplayers are used as the pieces for an epic chess match controlled by their Mighty Kings!! The game itself is played out just like a normal chess match. The players will make their moves on a regular chess board and then the Pieces will move to the corresponding locations on a large scale chess board which they'll be standing on. At each confrontation the attacking piece will have a "Battle" with its target. We hope you'll come to watch, or if you think you can meet the call to arms sign up to play!

For Those of you who want to Play as pieces

Alright fellow cosplayers!!!!

There's plenty of time before Anime Expo, but it's never too early to sign up!

Look forward to another memorable match this year! Who knows maybe there'll be a few surprises this year

Damn, I'm skipping out on the first day of the con this year due to the holiday. Guess I won't be signing up this year.

That is a typo I overlooked and will be edited. The date is not set yet for the convention.

[shadowdragon13]

Alrighty then I'll sign up in case it's on the other days of the con. I just need to make the cosplay I plan to wear for this first. :3

It depends on the venue entirely but we try to aim for 2 o'clock. Enough time after lunch, people can sit down, enjoy a good show. That whole deal~

There is an email address in the application that you send it to.

[katio-chan]

Oh man, this sounds so neat! I was at AX last year but I missed the event! I would love to apply for a spot, but I must see how my costume turns out!

Captain Resentment, Signing up!

This is going to be great! I haven't played "human chess" since summer camp.

[Resident-chick]

I should be singing up under another account on here however, what is the theme exactly?
