The The Chessmaster is a mini-boss in Rayman Redemption, who appears in The Lair of the Chessmaster - the third level of Playtopia. He challenges Rayman to a "chess match", where each player takes control of a king (white for Rayman, black for the Chessmaster), and the goal is to be the first to move one's king to the opposite end of the board.
The kings are moved by punching them, and can only move one square at a time. Since white goes first, Rayman is guaranteed to always win the game, if he can survive. From the second move on, the Chessmaster pull Chess pieces out of his hat, which attack Rayman and hinder his progress. After the fourth move, he will additionally hurl his red bowtie at Rayman like a boomerang. Rayman will need to clear out all the Chess piece minions before he can punch the white king one more step.
Once the white king reaches the other side of the chess board, the Chessmaster observes that he had been checkmated, although in his frustration he accuses Rayman of not playing fair. He relinquishes the Master key, and warns Rayman to get out of his domain, lest he feels like challenging him to a rematch.
Trivia
- The Chessmaster is the only boss or mini-boss in Rayman Redemption that cannot be attacked or harmed directly. He has no visible life bar.
- The game that Rayman and the Chessmaster play does not abide to any known rules of chess. In an actual chess game, a checkmate is not reached by moving one's king to the other side of the board, but by putting the opponent's king under attack without any legal moves to escape or block it.
