Although I'm rubbish at chess, it does provide a good backbone for a story. Who else should be playing Faramir?

Eee, Amrothos playing chess would be scary to write! They do have a game in The Lost, but it's mainly an excuse to have something to look at rather than each other while they have a conversation about emotions. Like you say, I can imagine Amrothos becoming so distracted by the elegance of the design of one of his strategies that he doesn't notice a tiny but fatal flaw in its basic premise.
