{+- . AUTHOR COMMENT: «The Drunken Kings» A surreal dance of two
staggering monarchs who seem to have misplaced both sobriety and sense
of direction. They wander across the board like tipsy
duelists�sometimes advancing boldly, sometimes stumbling
backward�while their loyal pawns, far more disciplined, struggle to
keep the peace. What begins as a quiet endgame soon turns into a comic
chase: bishops wobble, pawns evolve, and the kings lurch into a dizzy
rhythm that somehow leads to perfect harmony. Logic triumphs through
chaos, but only after a few too many drinks.}
