In this book, I will tell you a story about a group of kids
who decided to enter a chess competition on the internet.
They don't know that they just entered the most dangerous chess game in the world...
This is not a regular chess game. Regular chess games are pretty boring, so we decided to
change the rules. In this game we don't use a regular chess board, and neither
chess pieces made of wood. Instead of a chess board we use life,
and instead of wooden chess pieces, we use pieces made of flesh and blood.
Pretty exciting right?
Luckily for you, we still need some players! :)
In this game, I will introduce you to a world full of sweat, tears and blood.
Before you enter the game, you must know that there is no way out.
Remember: You need all your pieces to play chess
Come on, don't be afraid my child,
after all, it's just chess...
