Leverage

I was a child when Ma first introduced me to chess- with 32 pieces and 64 symmetrical squares, it was not only a majestic black and white board but also a stratagem of infinite possibilities of winning.

A Dubious Encounter

I was expecting your arrival. Why have you summoned me? I wanted to see your progress. Ah, the perfect reunion "The wise sage and her vicious half!" In a certain way you seem to despise me, may I know why? Should I be envious of you? Oh please, you cannot outwit me with your calm...

Phase II (Confrontation)

My friend, this world remains an esoteric mystery on the surface; only comprehended by the observer in the depth of his thoughts.

Lost in the shadows of my past
