I Want to eat all Your Pieces!!

Every move she makes is a masterpiece.

Every move he makes is a blunder.

At eight years old, Seth Pawn watched Astrid Lind become the first woman World Chess Champion.

The world saw a prodigy.

Seth saw a girl so lonely she looked like she'd forgotten how to smile.

Right there, he decided he would meet her.

Eleven years later, he's still chasing that promise.

Then the chance arrives.

She's cold, elegant, and untouchable.

He's clumsy, soft, and too stubborn to quit.

With every lesson, the board gets smaller, and the distance between them starts to shrink.

Can a hopeless beginner ever beat the greatest player alive?

Seth wanted to eat all her pieces.

He never expected her to start counting every minute he spends away from the board.
