a rook. I'm pretty straightforward
What chess character are you?

Gray Knight
Knight--Because I like coming at people out of left field.
Gray--Except for in an actual game, having the colors black and white give people info about you. White good (& hard to keep clean); black--you think you're bad.
Also, there is a construal called "the gray man." Someone who operates without giving off any information about his purpose, background etc.

I think I might be a knight, because I am different from others. Or I might be a pawn, weak and vunerable now, but able to be promoted.

A pawn. Start out small, but occasionally one will make it to the bigtimes, and can promote to whatever he wants to be.

A pawn for sure... First one into the battle, and many times i've been the one needed to end the war... So powerful yet over looked.
A blocked pawn. Of minor use, and with little potential.
...yes I'm a depressed cynic, why do you ask?

Here is a quiz I made up some months ago for those who want to find out "which chess champion" they are:

I'm a passed pawn. It seems I'm kinda useless, but when the time has come, say when I'm needed or I really need something, I change into something extremely powerful and I silently win the game.
The king is more seen as a leader But he can make enemies as well as friends. in time his friends blindly follow him. If you screw up that is it then...
What chess piece personality would you be? Queens are powerful and like to attack, but many want to take them. Knights are different from others, but they go where no one else can. Think up other piece personalities and see who you are.
