Tara

Who Tara is

Tara, wife of Vali and mother of Angada, was the daughter of the vanara chief Sushena, and Vali himself praises her skill in judging subtle matters and reading portents. When Sugriva returned to challenge Vali a second time, she warned her husband that Sugriva now had a powerful ally, but Vali went out to fight. After his death she mourned him deeply, and later, as queen beside Sugriva, she calmed Lakshmana's anger with tactful words when the search for Sita was delayed.

“I read the signs before the battle begins. Let us see what yours foretell.”

How Tara plays chess

A wise counsellor who reads danger early: her play is prophylactic, defusing threats before they can grow.

The Fortress: Guards its king above all, keeps a healthy pawn wall, and is content to trade down.

Opening repertoire: Queen's Indian Defence · Bogo-Indian Defence

Tara's trial lies beyond the Level 30 gate, but you can play Tara any time in free play.
