Sergei Prokofiev's Chess Board

Origin
Sergei Prokofiev, renowned Russian composer, pianist, and conductor, created innumerable musical works in his lifetime. Some of his most well-known pieces include Scythian Suite, Chout, Le pas d'acier, The Prodigal Son, The Love for Three Oranges, his interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, and a smartly timed opera of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. When not working musically, he held another passion for chess, and this board he used extensively during 1936.

The Disney animated film “Make Mine Music” was partially based and inspired off it.

Effects
This board activates by initiating a game, and will not deactivate until the game is complete. For every piece that the player loses, a corresponding person in their life will be attacked, and potentially killed, by a large wolf creature that disappears after the deed is done. If the player loses, they suffer the same fate as the others, and will be killed. Winning prevents this, and heals those who survived their attacks.
