You awake
Alex: where am I? "Alex questions in confusion".
Giovanni: You got knocked out by Rober and now you are on a table have you played chess?
Alex: A few times then why am I blind folded? you want me to lose that bad? "Alex taunts with smug face".
Giovanni: not at all its quite the opposite I want you to win by blindfolding you I am simply testing your creative intellect by constricting your vision I am just opening your third eye to guide you towards the deepest darkest depths of hell.
Alex: How is a chess game gonna decide that?
Goliovanni: Hahaha you see chess was invented by a commander to simulate real warfare even if it's metaphorical but it is war one move and your entire army is killed and you die.
Alex: I see where you going but what is the reward?
Giovanni: uh that umm lunch I will offer you the most luxorious, dilicious, awesome lunch you will ever have.
Alex: Reallllly?
Giovanni: Of course I am a man of my word "Giovanni responds confidently to convince Alex for a game".
"Giovanni takes a golden colibri sv, and a GURKHA BLACK DRAGON cigar with a classic high poilsh brass windpipe pocket lighter and slices the head of the cigar in crown cut then he takes the cigar in his non dominent hand and lights the lighter, with his dominent then he softly and gently lights the cigar's tip evenly and takes a nice long puff".
Giovanni: shall we begin?
Alex: Anfang.

And thus the Legendary game of chess begins.
- Giovanni lets begin the game with knight f3.
- Alex hears the sound and grazes the piece to confirm its identity and responds with
knight f6.
- Giovanni takes another puff from his cigar and moves his pawn to c4.
- Alex plays pawn g6 to make a square for his 'archbishop'.
- Giovanni goes knight c3 not intrested in the centre I see.
- Alex puts bishop on g7 no I don't care.
- Giovanni goes pawn d4 taking the centre if you don't then I will.
- Alex feels his rook and slides it over his king in exchange castling.
- Giovanni goes bishop h4.
- Alex knows only bishop has the power to go to the 4th rank in front of the knight in response to that he strikes in the centre with pawn d5 playing the opening line : GRÜNFELD.
- Giovanni brings his queen to b3 oh Grünfeld I remeber playing it against Fanta's Ceo.
- Alex takes c4pawn with d5pawn
- Giovanni's queen retake on d5.
- Alex's pawn c6 to protect it from the g4 bishop you are really playing agrressive geezer.
- Giovanni pawn e4 that's chess kid you don't win by defending you win by attacking.
- Alex knight d7 then let's attack you queen.
- Giovanni rook d1 then I'll attack yours once the field is clear.
- Alex touches the d1 peice and goes knight to b6 to attack the queen.
- Giovanni pushes the queen to c5 no so fast my queen is staying in your territory "pfoo".
- Alex develops his bishop to g4 let's go lets trade.
- Giovanni plays bishop to g5 not so fast you will take on my terms.
- Alex play knight to a4 you wanna take?
- Giovanni Queen to a3 "oh so he set up a trap if I take his knight he will go Knight e4 and then take my bishop sorry kid but I won't hold back even if you are 59 years younger than me".
- Alex trades knights fine then someone has to take why not me?
-Giovanni takes the knight Alex was offering.
-Alex moves the other knight to capture a pawn at e4.
- Giovanni in return goes bishop e7 forking the rook and the queen. Feeling pressured? your high value pieces are under attack.
- Alex plays queen b6 after feeling the entire file hehe take it take my 'high value' piece and I will show you what a high value piece is.
- Giovanni goes bishop c4 attacking the king's pawn Oh I see so that's how it's gonna be huh I won't take no thank you.
- Alex knight takes c3 sacrificing his knight. but giovanni cannot take the knight! because of the open e file attacking the bishop and pinning it to the king.
- Instead Giovanni goes bishop c5 Attacking the queen I can't take he is giving me so many free targets but when I calculate 5 or 6 moves ahead I'm losing he is good very good.
- Alex hears the 'thuck' and goes e8 rook check you king is open.
- Giovanni king f1 thanks for reminding me but I can see and you can't.
- Alex bishop e6??? Not really if only you could see this.
- Giovanni bishop e6 capture why did you come back? you could have taken my bishop or attacked my queen what attracted you to that move?
- Because of this Alex queen b5 check.
- Giovanni is forced to go king h1.
- Alex observes the board and goes knight e2 check.
- Giovanni goes back to its square.
- Alex knight goes g3 but the knight cannot be taken by the pawn because of the queen at b5 delivering a double checkmate.
- Oh no I only have King to g1 but then-
-Hehehe what do you think? could happen after queen to f1
-I can take rook to f1 but "Giovanni realizes his foolish move oh no!
-Hehehe knight to e2 checkmate.
"Alex instinctively draws his hand out for handshake Giovanni smiles and shakes his hands while taking his blindfold off".
Well done Alex you have beaten me with such a brilliancy I'm impressed."Giovanni laughs while clapping uncontrollably". Are you the "Chess Champ" of the school or what?
Why did you bring me here just to play chess?
Hahaha no not at all this was just a little test I always play chess with my clients, ceos, dealers to find out their worth but no one has been able to beat me in over 20 years you are the first one to defeat me congrats.
20 years! "Alex pops his eyes out hearing this time spane" that means you were alive when WW2 happend?
Hehehe ofcourse I was not alive I came out alive from WW2.
You were a soldier?
Shocked? To be honest I was dragged into military rather than to be serving by my own interest.
How was it? WW2 I mean I have never been to a battlefield what is it like?
It's quit boring most of the time you just hide in a bunker and pee in a bottle that's all "puff" "phoo" but this is just the beginning Kid you have the talent a normal person cannot obtain in a million lives you have the eternal inferno burning in your eyes you have the iq that rivals even the smartest minds with all these qualities you can easily be at the top, deep down you also don't want to be in this realm you want to reach heavens and conquer them I can provide you with the infrastructure needed to do it you just have to play.
Hehehe you want to use me to gain titles and recognition for your company you dirty ol' bastard.
Yeah but not for company but for me I you see Alex I have always wanted to be a World Champion it was my dream since I was 10 when I watched Joe louis knock out James.J Braddock in the eight round and become the World Champ not only that he reigned for 12 years.
12 years that would be "Alex tries to calculate how many matched he played before getting dethroned".
"Giovanni takes a sip and says with confidence" 25 title defences.
"Alex was completely amazed after hearing these numbers a man who was at the top of the world for 12 years just one year from his own age".
And how many did you win?
In chess huh almost a 100 in boxing no I couldn't I did not had the opportunity or talent but one thing I had was this "tapping his frontel bone" Brains with this I took over the import and export market little by little drop after drop I filled stones into the pot but it was not enough the water was no where in my reach that's why I created my team "All Stars" but they all were not enough and there I realized what made a person, a team World Champions and you young blood you posses 'it' in each one of your veins.
"Giovanni says it while looking at Alex through his half empty rum glass".
What does it mean to be the world champion?
"Alex asks curiously".
You see young blood a world champion is a person who dominates the entire globe no one no one from the 7 billion humans can reach him because he had conquered them all.
All of them in the world?
All you are atop a mountain which you can rest upon until someone shows and tries to take you down.
How tall is that mountain?
Hehehe taller than a normal person can dream of taller than the heavens taller than even the cosmos.
"Alex gets exited upon hearing this wonderful news" But how do I know what you are saying is true? old man.
Hey hey now I am only 72 and the answer to your question is I don't know that's just the way I imagined winning and ruling over 'the' world would feel like.
But you said a 'normal person' couldn't even fathom what's atop the summit?
Why don't you go and find it out yourself.
