1	''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/114427/kingside-high Kingside High]]'' is a [[Fanfic/TheChessgameOfTheGods Chessgame of the Gods]] spinoff/side story, featuring [[CrisisCrossover several characters from different Chessgame stories]] [[HighSchoolAU in a high school setting]]. The story is written by the same people who write their own Chessgame stories, though it is organized and directed by [=SwiftEthan=] and Creator/RLYoshi (the latter of whom also publishes the story). The story manages to keep true to the personalities of various characters, though since they're now in high school rather than the battlefield that is Chessverse Equestria, [[LighterAndSofter some changes have been made]].

16	!Tropes found in this work
17	* AdaptationalWimp: In a sense, everyone gets hit with this, but mainly due to the LighterAndSofter setting.
18	** Arrell in particular is an obvious example, since unlike the other characters, his personality was changed as well.
19	* BigEater: Aniseed is a Parasprite, so this is to be expected.
20	** Zeta is said to be one as well.
21	* ButtMonkey: Jack becomes this when around Havoc.
22	* CloudCuckooLander: Havoc and Knightmare.
23	** And a ''lot'' of the faculty.
24	* TheDreaded: Vice principal Zephyr. After an interaction with her, Havoc falls to the floor and starts ranting to himself, the text in his dialogue being twisted to look like Zalgo infected it. On the other hand, that could just be [[CloudCuckooLander Havoc being Havoc]].
25	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: All the students get one.
26	* LighterAndSofter
27	* MaleGaze: "Oh, and Havoc? Stop staring at my ass."
28	* MeaningfulName: Principal ''Checkmate'', given that this is a spinoff of ''Chessgame'' of the Gods.
29	* OddFriendship: Knightmare and Zeta; Aniseed and Arrell. Jack and Havoc may also count, though that friendship seems to be more one-sided.
30	** InterspeciesFriendship: Obviously, due to every main character so far being a different species, this comes into play.
31	* OnlySaneMan: Jack for the students, Checkmate for the staff.
32	* RedOniBlueOni: Every roommate arrangement so far. Havoc and Jack, Aniseed and Arrell, Knightmare and Zeta, and Cata and Tiff are all red and blue respectively.
33	* SelfDeprecation: After running headfirst into a door, Arrell jokes that at least brain damage isn't a problem. "Hard to damage what isn't there, right?"
34	* ShipTease: Oh so many.
35	* ShrinkingViolet: Justified (and somewhat downplayed) with Arrell, as he's new not just to the school, but to the entire town. Though he warms up to Aniseed rather quickly.
