I mean, no matter how the outside chess pieces differ, all black and white are, in fact, half white, half black, and the fight between white and black is within each of them. This inner struggle cannot be affected by the chess moves you think of. The game does not involve so much the two armies at war; the field in which they move is also involved. As soon as they are in a black field, black in black and white in black, that is, the evil spirits in the people and the evil spirits in the evil spirits draw strength from this dark surface of this dark ground. On the contrary, as soon as they appear in a white field, the support comes to light, which is in the humans and evil spirits who play at the party.

How can you make your pathetic movements influence the outcome of events? Why play a game where you are nobody or nothing?
