Vincent re-examines the board at Kristoff's words, a glint in his eyes having sparked at the notion of his father's death.
He leans back in his seat. "I understand the principle behind, and the merits of, diverting his focus, but he has displayed... a particularly intense focus upon not letting me do so."
Vincent respects Kristoff enough not to come out and say 'He wants to make sure I'm not you', but it is something of the proverbial elephant in the living room.
"I've taken great pains that our conversations take place with a measure of privacy, but there are others, magically powerful others, that I do not have the same freedom to reach. At this point, I believe the best case scenario is that he brings only himself down." He focuses on Kristoff. "At which point a new leader, not ruler, could be installed."
He advances a knight. The same one he opened the game with.
"Your king is in check."
