Seems like some JRPG. Your grandpa died, and you guys loved playing chess, so he leaves you his super special set that he never let you touch. One night, you hear the pieces clatter and shake. You open the box... Nothing. You turn to go back to bed, when it starts again, accompanied by an otherworldly glow. You open the box again and the pieces are set. You feel completed to move a piece and suddenly you're in the spirit world, and your grandfather has a message: He wasn't just a hobbyist, he, and therefore you, come from a long line of chess shamans. Whenever the chess board glows, they must play against spirits that wish to barter for enter our reality. If there is no shaman, there is no one to stop the flow of spirits in this world. With dwindling interest in chess, many spirits enter without a challenger.
So, next summer, join Takeno as he and his adorable sidekick, Pawny, the spirit of pawns, train and battle spirits across Japan. Earn power ups, work on your strategy until you can close the doorway once and for all by defeating the one who started this spiritual tournament all those eons ago; The Chess Guardian, Guardian of the chess.

In the last episode with 10 seconds left on the clock, magnus Carlson taps your shoulder. “Eh, you’re in my seat. I was up late drinking and dancing while playing lightning chess and missed my alarm.” 9 seconds later he wins. The world is saved.
