The Pawn against the King | Giorgos Katsoulas
1 post
The King announces a contest open to everyone, regardless of their financial status. The contest is simple: “Present me with a game that is a true simulation of battle. Whoever succeeds will be richly rewarded. However, anyone who fails and wastes the King’s time will lose their life.” A humble carpenter, confident in what he holds, requests a hearing with the great ruler. Now, he must present his idea at the risk of his life and convince the King that it is exactly what he sought.
Thus begins a mental battle between the powerful and the powerless, the strong and the weak. Genius versus authority.
