ARBITER FROM CHESS THE MUSICAL BLAST

[lystful]

‘ there’s no gambit I don’t see through

I call him Stas lmao

Love thinking he’s a blond dude

Freddie gets fined $200 by the Arbiter every time he wears jeans to a chess match. He keeps doing it anyway.

I think the metric for designing arbiter is how well can they pull off Jojo poses.

More Chess fanart that no one asked for

Also I realized after I drew it, but the scene from Endgame is actually between Sergievsky and his wife, not Florence. But oh well.

These are my character designs and are based solely on the music and a few glances at the set and costumes.

Chess hot take; I know Svenska chess is unmentionable, but I actually really like nobody’s side. The vocals are awesome, both the ensemble and Florence. The nightclub setting is definitely an interpretation but 💀 I kinda love it. And the bit where they start banging the floor scratches my brain. Nobody’s side is my favourite song anyway so maybe I’m biased

EDIT: it seems like I’ve awoken all the Svenska fans. I’m sorry. This post is literally me praising it dw ☹️☹️

[svu-barisi]

I wholeheartedly believe that Raúl Could do Chess as a one man show. Lol.

The raddest possible way to come out

I like The Arbiter because he just openly declares to the entire audience, over a funky rock beat, that he doesn't like women.

And he's at most the second least heterosexual character in the musical.

[the-tcclique]

chess au is so funny bc brent, nick, sophist, and cherie are absolutely going through it. meanwhile vern’s out here arbiting like

[purplelea]

TIL when there's a blind chess player in a tournament, the moves for their game need to be announced by 1. giving each file a name instead of a letter 2. saying all the numbers of the ranks in German 3. saying all the names of the pieces in German 4. annoucing castling in German too smh

[waltokov]

did my yuletide signup 🥰 i literally didn’t request any characters except walter and molokov for chess 😭

[fasciation-fascination]

I can't believe we finally found a bootleg of the 2006 estonian production, what??? there soo much stuff in there. canon time loop??? set backstage at a production of chess?? florence kisses walter and freddie at one point?? in endgame they list all the world champions up to Kramnik for some reason?? all the new songs they added?? I am being soo normal about this.
