The Story:
...
You decide to go questing with the Widowmaker and ignore the obnoxious warrior and the spam inside of town. You eventually travel down into the sewers hunting giant rats. The Widowmaker player hates it because the area is so cramped. You are fine with it, the closed in area makes it all the easier for your scatter shots to land an insta-kill. The two of you do quest after quest in the sewers collecting gold and agents for more bloon defense while escorting a confused orc back up to the surface. Eventually you go back down forgetting a key quest item and take an interesting route down a ladder. You find yourself faced with a giant chess board.
On the other side of the board is to your horror the Lich King. The two of you turn to flee but Arthas's ally Mei raises an ice wall behind you trapping you. The Lich King tells you that he won't kill you if you can defeat him in a game of chess. He also tells you he'll give you a very powerful bonus item since you are the first to find him her in the sewers. Without much of a choice you take the white side of the board and go first.
You do your standard opening but quickly find out the Lich King is pretty good at chess. You are pretty good yourself however and quickly counter his bold quick strategy. Eventually you take a crucial piece and the Lich King retreats into a defensive position attempting to lull you into making a mistake so he can catch back up.
After looking over the board you realize you can proceed in two different ways. One is to free your queen and try to wreak havoc with her. There are several lanes where she might be able to do some real damage if the Lich King doesn't spot your strategy. The other option is to get aggressive with your pawns and hope that the trades come out in your favor. It is hard to tell how that path will end up. The Widowmaker dude acts all snarky likes he knows how to play and continues to give you bad advice the entire game. You ignore him.
