[Regis doesn't believe him for a moment. Even if the tone didn't give him away, that vulnerable bishop would. For a long moment, Regis ponders if he should take the piece or spare it. In the end, he moves to threaten it, but does not take it, giving Cor one chance to move it and settle down. It's no fun to beat someone who isn't playing at their full potential for whatever reason and he knows Cor is better than this.]
As you wish. [There is a smile on Regis' face as he does just that, glad to see Cor's mood has improved. Perhaps he should just ask what is bothering him so about the moves that were made, but at the same time, if he starts letting himself ask little questions about the future, where will he stop? After all, it's those little things he is so good at putting together and look where that got him before?
Or, don't look maybe. He's trying very hard not to think about the death that awaits him.]

Don't waste a move because I was a fool. Go on.
[A heavy sigh but he is still studying the board carefully now. Planning and contemplating. Challenged anew.]
I'll still be able to kick your ass without a bishop.
