    Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru - Vol. 7 Ch. 92 - The 92nd move

    Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru - Vol. 6 Ch. 69 - The 69th move

    Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru - Vol. 3 Ch. 34 - The 34th move

    The gravestone (kakuryuuo) is a shogi reference: Bishop-Dragon. Not sure if it has any deeper meaning though...

    Chrono Monochrome - Vol. 1 Ch. 7 - Breaking the Castle Walls

    FYI, this is reproducing Morphy's famous "Opera Game" in which he sacrifices a knight, then a rook, then his queen in order to checkmate in 17 moves.
