I'm bad at these... 8| Um. ITSUKI. Five times he, er... lost a game, and one time he didn't? 8D?

Damn you.

"You don't seem like the type," Phoenix said doubtfully as he checkmated Itsuki's king for the third time in a row.

"Don't I?"

"The way you talk, I figured you'd be good at games like these that need strategy."

"Perhaps I'm just not good at thinking small-scale," said Itsuki amiably, considering that it probably had taken more skill to lose against him than to win. In any case, though, the confused look on Phoenix's face was worth any number of checkmates.

"I knew our class would beat yours in the scavenger hunt!" Haruhi crowed triumphantly the day after the school festival. "With me on our side, how could we not?"

Itsuki smiled calmly, nodding in agreement, and wondered if anyone would ever notice that a third of the items on the list had mysteriously disappeared off campus soon after Haruhi's team had checked them off.

"Dr. House, your signature on this..." Itsuki struggled to shuffle the folders in his arms.

"Forge it," said House, tossing his tennis ball in the air. "Now, what have we learned here? Don't try to play poker against the big boys, Chuckles."

"Why do you even like games?"

Itsuki shrugged and rolled the die. "I hold out hope that one day I will be victorious."

Kyon snorted, and decided he probably just liked them because they were a chance to be confusing, and he was half right.

"But the rules say nothing about unconscious knowledge, do they? It is unlikely that the memory of the first time I learned about this has disappeared completely from my mind, and thus I have not yet emerged from my initial losing state. However, if one loses a game of chess, are they constantly in a state of losing thereafter? I would say no, wouldn't you? They reenter a state of neutrality where, having lost that one particular match, they can lose it no further. Therefore, having once heard about this Game and retaining the memory in my mind, I am in a semi-neutral post-loss state..."

Kaito put a hand over his face with an exaggerated sigh as Itsuki continued, swearing to himself never to bring up The Game again.
