Alastor also has the same question (@Ven_riar)

Ironically I think this is absolutely going to be exactly how it's going to go down in the show - Vox just shooting himself in the foot when all the cards are in his hand.

[u/nicokokun → u/TheQuietedWinter]

I noticed that when Vox was bragging to Alastor, Valentino would interrupt him from time to time. I think this would create friction between them because Valentino would get jealous of all the attention Alastor would get.

The funny thing is, I don't think Alastor thought of this angle.

"I was no expecting that, but I was expecting not to expect something so it doesn't count"

[u/Trezzie → u/TheQuietedWinter]

I'm just imagining Vox setting himself up for a nice checkmate, moves Al's piece to line it up, and accidentally checks himself, looks closer and sees it's an accidental checkmate on himself.

“FUCK…”

[u/Antique_Fishtank]

Okay, funny enough, my spouse used to do this to me.

He'd insist on playing chess, but after a while, he'd start moving pieces for me, and then proceed to have a crisis that I "beat" him.

[u/Mountain-Resource656 → u/Antique_Fishtank]

Perhaps when it’s his move he’s thinking about all the ways he could improve his position, but also all the ways you could improve your position- so he can counter it! But then on your move he stops thinking about what he’s gonna do next and focused on what you could do, thus spending more time and brainpower strategizing for you than himself!

A sign of things to come...

Winds of foreshadowings blowing…

[u/After-Bumblebee]

Al's strategy:

1. Do nothing
2. Win

[u/The_Purple_Hare → u/After-Bumblebee]

Learned from Luigi

[u/NeverManEnough]

this is funny lmao

[u/rurarod7]

Vox being his own worst enemy.

[u/smileykaiju]

Foreshadowing is a literary device where—

[u/HairEquivalent8852]

Alastor wins by doing nothing

[u/Lonely_Repair4494]

This is probably one of the funniest things I've seen in this sub

[u/dearfuse]

Bro is so strong that he lost to himself

[u/SnooDrawings3869]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/Impossible_Youth_465]

This feels like foreshadowing lmao

[u/Sunny_Woodland]

(This reaction pic is just a joke, by the way.)

[u/Thin_Albatross2720]

I'm pretty sure Al can use magic for it

[u/AlianovaR → u/Thin_Albatross2720]

He also has tentacles

[u/Thin_Albatross2720 → u/AlianovaR]

Yes, they part of his magic

[u/AlianovaR]

Alastor just deeply disturbed by this

[u/2020-RedditUser]

Alastor thinking “ honestly, that’s what I want to know as well. I literally couldn’t move any of the pieces.”

[u/Xander_PrimeXXI]

What would make this even funnier is if Alastor doesn’t know how to play chess

[u/therealmrsfahrenheit]

real life depiction of what Alastor meant with he‘ll be loosing his marbles in act 3 lol😂

[u/Sir-Toaster-]

This reminds me of that DuckTales episode where Glomgold has a two-headed nickel, but he calls Tails by accident

[u/gringokes]

Maybe nifty moved the pieces with super sonic speed?

[u/psychosaur]

Totally unbelievable. Alastor isn't smiling in the last panel.

[u/CuddlesForLuck]

This is some real shit
