gently caress anyone that says season 2 was bad. Lelouch literally walks down a flight of stairs and left his wheelchair bound sister stranded. Straight villainy right there.

well that would explain why Schneizel's demeanour immediately changed when Lelouch backed down from the challenge. That and I'm glad I haven't completely forgotten how chess goes because when I was watching that episode I was like "wait a minute, I thought moving into check was an illegal move, why the gently caress isn't Lelouch or anyone else calling that out?"

It was an interesting moment of tension though

That rule is by design used to end games that have an ending once the outcome is obvious. He even announces the amount of moves it would take to end the match before he does it. The ~deeper meaning~ he gleans from Lelouch's response is that he doesn't think a King should kill a King, rather an underling should do it. Also that he won't be led into moves dictated by Schneizel.

It was an interesting way of showing the character traits of Lelouch and Schneizel rather than having it spelled out by some other character for you.
