Unlike most chess matches, The Moonlit Chessboard is played by three players, the White, the Black, and the Red. The White is against the Liberation of Night. The Black is for the Liberation of Night. The Red is neutral on the issue. Visitors to the Chessboard may choose a faction to represent.  
As befits a chess game set in unreality, this game has three players rather than the usual two: the White, the Black, and the Red. The Black seeks to  cause the Liberation; the White works against it; and the Red is neutral, wishing instead to advance its own cause.<br />
