Events

 * Matches of Ghost Leg], Spicy Russian Takoyaki (adapted from [[wikipedia:Russian roulette|Russian Roulette]), [[wikipedia:The Game of Life|The Game of Life, and rock-paper-scissors between Steph and Kuhaku
 * Match between Steph and Sora to guess how long a bird would stay on the roof

Key differences from light novel
In the light novel,
 * The random game matches in between the two guessing games did not occur, so Steph was not stripped as much and Shiro did not have as many extra items to wear.

Trivia

 * This is the second episode in which the title's katakana has a different meaning from its kanji. The katakana (グランド・マスター) reads 'weak square', while the kanji (駒並べ) means 'adjacent pieces'.
