“The earthly thing is already ending for me... there is one more decisive move left. And in general, what drives life? Who is leading this never-ending grandiose party? Who is the invisible ruler of the chessboard and the pieces on it? A virtuoso invisible grandmaster... or each of us?” A modest girl with the unusual name Greza completely disinterestedly looked after her neighbor and could not even imagine that she would be accused of the death of the old woman! Is it really all about the old Spanish chess that she inherited? The set was missing four figures, and Varvara Ignatievna was going to tell the girl where they had gone, but didn’t have time... The antiquarian told Greza the history of chess. They were made in the 16th century by order of a noble lord, and the gypsy supposedly endowed the figures with vitality - in order for a wish to come true, you must first play it on the chessboard. But at the same time, someone will have to die... A few days after the death of her neighbor, Grese was given a lift to the missing white king. Has anyone really decided to use an ancient legend for their own purposes these days?
