Cosplayers representing various animes participating in a game of anime checkers at FanimeCon 2010 in San Jose, California. The "pieces" are controlled by two players playing with an actual checkerboard who direct the cosplayers standing on the large board how to move. When one piece is about to capture another, everyone except for the two pieces in question leaves the board, then the capturing piece is supposed to "kill" the other piece as dramatically as possible, who is supposed to die as dramatically as possible.
