Everyone thinks they act of their own free will, never realizing they've long since become someone else's pawns. When they think they've read the situation and obtained reliable intelligence, they have no idea it's all lies, bait in one trap after another!
Even betrayal is a carefully staged act. Behind what seems to be the truth, more lies are concealed.
A discarded pawn is his true piece: seemingly the strongest on the board, yet destined to be sacrificed!
He is no invincible man, yet his name strikes fear into everyone!
Only when the final piece falls will everyone learn who truly rules the endgame!
