October 24 to November 22. Water sign. Strategic players who reveal nothing and win the game out of casual conversation.
Scorpio is curious and secretive, and both traits show up at the board. Scorpio players quietly observe and analyze while giving away nothing about their own strategy. Playing against one, you may not realize you are in trouble until it is too late.
They patiently search a defense for weaknesses and exploit them, positioning pieces so precisely that the opponent walks away blaming bad luck. They are not usually talkative, but in a communicative mood a Scorpio may simply announce mate in seven.
Scorpio players tend to start young and continue for about fifteen years, playing between one and seven games a week, often with other players in the family. They are strongest in the opening and middle games.
They prefer the queen at first, then learn to value knights and pawns as they gain experience. Losing the queen does not mean the game is lost, because a pawn can be promoted.
There is no easy answer here, which is part of the point. Scorpios play defensively, trade without fear, and prefer a straight game while keeping gimmicks in reserve. They would rather lose outright than take a stalemate, so denying them a win is not the same as holding a draw.
Two Scorpio players are not the same player. The rising sign changes the piece preferences, the temperament, and the way the game is lost. AstroChess breaks Scorpio down across all twelve Sun and Ascendant combinations, which is where the reading gets specific enough to use against someone.
