The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s King by placing it under threat of capture which cannot be avoided.

#NOTHING MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN PEOPLE GETTING CHESS METAPHORS RIGHT #the pawn; least powerful piece on the board— but with one wild move and if you get it to the end it can become the most powerful #the bishop; amazing range but can only move on it’s color— a piece that will surprise you #the knight; the irrational piece— hardest to predict #the rook; who guards the king— a long range piece #the king; the ultimate goal— but can’t do the work itself #the queen; the most powerful piece on the board— the only piece that doesn’t emulate it in some way is the knight

What’s better than Revenge and Downton Abbey? A side-by-side match-up of both shows’ well-fed, well-heeled, not-always-well-intentioned characters.

There was a daft time and I was doing a play in Los Angeles and the boys were with me and I remember getting into this car to go do down to the Ahmanson. And the boys’ nanny was driving the car and they were behind me. And I heard Toby say to his brother, Toby’s the younger one, he said, “What’s wrong with her?” And I heard Chris say, just said, “Leave her alone. It’s a matinee.” So they knew it was horrible. They’d known all along. — Maggie Smith

We’re always giggling. Our unofficial theme tune on set was, “When you’re alone and life is making you lonely you can always go: Downton” - even Maggie joined in with it.
There are so many greats in the cast but they’re not at all diva-ish. It’s like being in a family. We’ve spent eight months together over the past two years, sleeping together, eating together. [x]
