The story

Every game starts with a choice. Opening Moves engraves chess as architecture, in the fine lines of a banknote: a knight that became a tower, a queen that became an arch, a rook keeping a lighthouse, and two hands, one human and one not, reaching for the same pawn. Six pieces for players, builders and anyone who likes to think a move ahead.
