I played a little bit when I was much younger, but I doubt I'd be much help for it- that was a long time ago.
Still, I'll help as much as I can-- more betareaders is always a good thing!
This is a mildly odd request, but ... I don't play chess. At all. I know the rules but that's it.
However, chess is a central theme in a Narnia fic I'm currently working on, and my lack of experience in playing the game is shining through rather more than I'd like. So if anyone out there is a chess-player and would be willing to chess-accuracy-betaread sections of my fic, I'd be really grateful.
I'll warn now, this fic contains mentions of slash, although nothing graphic and it's sort of second-hand, as the fic is from Susan's POV.
I'm not the most fantastic player, but I'm pretty familiar with chess. Sling it on over my way if you'd like yet another beta. ;-)

This will be the most well-beta'd fic in the woooooorld :D
I'll try.
I'll email it to you.

Remove the NOSPAM.
The sooner the fic is checkmated the better.
Based on my reading, this isn't a fic being sporked, it's something Trojie is writing on her own time.
Which is not to say it's bad, though. S'quite nice.

Do you have gmail? I've got it as a googledoc, which I can share with you once Pads, my main beta, has given it a once-over for other issues. Failing that I can turn it into a Word doc or something, if that would be better?
