An unfinished game of Chess of Death from five hundred years ago was said to hold the clue to a buried treasure and Lin Shuang Sword was the key to the game. Anyone who could finish this game would obtain enough wealth to take over the world. Five hundred years later, Ren Qian Xin was ordered to find Lin Shuang Sword. Ren was madly in love with Liu Yi Yi.

Jiang Hu will be picking up this drama. If anyone wants to throw rocks at us, this is the place to do so. Mr. Green

I guess I'll be the first to throw a rock at you. This series actually have pretty good review, so I would love to see it. You are sure keeping yourself busy with two series (this one and Da Ren Wu) at the same time. Wish you all the best.

P.S. DOMD finally has a release date of April, 05; that the one I'm most looking forward to. Look like you will be even more busy later on. Best of luck and thank you for translating wuxia series. There should more people like you.

DOMD '08 is also at the top of my expectations list. I believe it will be better than LOCH '08. Smile

We're still going to focus on finishing Da Ren Wu first. We're only adding Sword/Chess as a future project because the release dates of DOMD/LOCH are still unclear. We should be able to start working on Sword/Chess once some of our members have successfully dealt with pressing matters in real life or once we complete Da Ren Wu. Having new members joining us would speed up the process of course. Wink

BTW, someone did an English version of the trailers:
