[Koan] Case 001: About games and rules

The new abbot had been invited over by the game master to play a Chess match.
The abbot, excited, arrived earlier than scheduled to the game master’s house just to find him playing Megaman X.
The abbot took a seat and opened a bag of chips while watching the master failing over and over at the final boss.
“Press shift+F1 to save the state; ” said the abbot with doritos in his mouth “and F1 to load it back. It’s easier that way”.
The master did as he was told and beat the boss after a couple more tries; just in time for the Chess match.
The master turned off his PC and brought the Chess board and pieces from the shelf he kept them in. He poured the pieces from the bag into the table and, along with the abbot, started to place the pieces into the tended board. After putting all the pieces, the abbot noticed he was missing a couple of pawns and a rook.
“I think there are some pieces missing, master” said the abbot.
“I think not” replied the master “It’s easier this way”.
In that moment, the abbot was enlightened. And pwned.
