Ikta suffers a serious setback at the hands of the unsleeping, shining officer from the Kioka republic.  His lines have been broken and the retreat is in disarray.  To salvage an increasingly desperate situation, he leads a small, handpicked force to lure Jean into a trap.  But Jean's proven himself for than a match for Ikta already, and the Alderan military outnumbers his own forces by over a dozen times.  How can he handle such overwhelming numbers when his opponent has shown to be his equal?
For the past six days, it's felt like 
I've been playing chess with you.
في الأيّام الستّة الماضية شعرتُ وكأنّني
كنتُ ألعب الشطرنج معك
Die letzten sechs Tage fühlten sich so an,
als hätten wir Schach gespielt.
Estos últimos seis días han sido
como jugar una partida de shogi contigo.
Estos últimos seis días han sido como

Ça fait six jours
qu’on s’affronte aux échecs.
Sono sei giorni, ormai, che mi sembra 
di giocare a scacchi con te.
Sinto que durante esses seis dias estava
 jogando shogi o tempo todo com você.
Все шесть дней я только и делал, 
что играл с тобой в шахматы.
