I don't understand why...

Your goal is to get 3 specific cards and pull off the combo.

Checkmate, Fanged Dragon Declaration, and a Chess monster.

Checkmate requires 5 different Chess attributes, so you'll be running bad cards. That is a really bad condition.

Then, you must clear the opponent's center and have enough power in case they have items with defense and insure they cannot counter call a monster to the center.

Note: Giving Penetrate to a Chess monster is really lame...But it helps?

In case the opponent uses a spell, you have to have Fanged Dragon Declaration, and even then, the opponent could blow up your monster with a single spell.

That uses up -3.5 resources.

An easier combo would just be getting any monster or monsters in a link attack against the opponent and use cards like Breathen Gard. Bonus if you have penetrate and/or soulguard on those monsters. It's ensured victory cause they can't blow up your monster and a redirected attack to a monster in the center gets penetrated.

Requirements are just -2 and can be done with good monsters.
