How Pisces plays chess

February 19 to March 20. Water sign. Players who work on your emotions and leave you wondering how they knew your next move.

The tendency

Pisces players have already played the game in their heads before the moves happen. They may voice doubts about their own move hoping to provoke a mistake, but they will not give the strategy away by fidgeting with their pieces.

The play is conservative and intuitive, and they enjoy the mystery and the illusion of it. They often sense where an opponent is going. Despite the reservations they express about their own skill, they are usually good, and they may apologize for winning as a tactic to throw you off.

The Pisces chess life

Pisces players tend to start in their mid teens and continue for about fifteen years. They prefer faster games and are often joined by family members.

Pieces Pisces favors and fears

They lean on the queen and will not sacrifice pieces unless it is necessary. A stalemate is preferred over a loss.

How to play against a Pisces

Take the stated doubt as a move, not information. The apology, the hesitation, and the talk about their own weak position are all part of a game being played on you rather than on the board.

This is the general Pisces profile. The book goes twelve levels deeper.

Two Pisces players are not the same player. The rising sign changes the piece preferences, the temperament, and the way the game is lost. AstroChess breaks Pisces down across all twelve Sun and Ascendant combinations, which is where the reading gets specific enough to use against someone.
