Game Of Strategy

On a small wooden brown table lays nothing but the chess board with two cups of coffee in front of each player. Each one is sitting on his chair, calculating his moves, analyzing opponents moves and trying to predict the board placement two moves ahead. While, it is a game of strategy and both players are trying to protect their chess pieces, and ensuring that the valuable pieces stays on the board.

In the afternoon, there he was, sitting on the coach, next to his father. Having some fruits as an after lunch snack and watching that chess match on TV. They were quite, as the father enjoys watching chess more than any other game. His son asked, what do you most like about chess? His father replied: Do you see anything more than a strategy from each player? His son stayed quite, looking at his father, as if he answered the question or, if that was a rhetorical question. His father continued: At first, one may see strategy. But, looking closely, one may see another game. It is deception! The son asked: deception?.. Then the father said: yes, some pieces are thrown into the opponents side of the board. Distracting the opponents strategy, and I would say that at times, this can determine who wins the game in the end. Then, what remains is not the number of pieces on the board or off the board. But, the record of who won the title.

His son said: It seems that we are watching the same screen. But, seeing different things. His father said: That is probably true, and what could be also true is the same rules, are interpretated outside of the game. At that time, the son realized that his father was not talking about the chess game the whole time. In fact, he was talking about his experience. The stories that never saw light and resides somewhere between the memories corridors.
