DESCRIPTION: SCP-XXXX is a standard-size chessboard created by the [DATA EXPUNGED] company, which shortly after its inception the founders vanished without a trace. When SCP-XXXX is in visual range of an individual, they will be compelled to play it. Whoever views the board is to be dubbed SCP-XXXX-1. Once SCP-XXXX-1 sits down next to the chess board, a figure will appear which resembles the individual who most recently won; This figure is known as SCP-XXXX-2. During the game, neither SCP-XXXX-1 or SCP-XXXX-2 will talk or communicate, and will make their moves one to two seconds after the other player has moved. SCP-XXXX follows regular chess rules. Pawns can move 2 on the first move, rooks can castle, knights move over pieces, etc. When the game is over, if SCP-XXXX-1 wins, then SCP-XXXX-1's mind will be imprinted on the board. If SCP-XXXX-2 wins, SCP-XXXX-1's mind is erased and replaced with SCP-XXXX-2's imprinted mind. There has never been a reported case of a stalemate.
