“A kiss of death” in chess is a maneuver that demands precise understanding of the position, careful analysis, and, of course, cold calculation. Experienced players know that a “kiss of death” is not just checkmate—it’s a measure of mastery, a style, and a demonstration of absolute control over the situation.

The necromancer Antoniy, also widely known in narrow circles as Anton Borisovich Shirokov, has been preparing for the final confrontation for a long time; and now war has been declared—capitulation is not considered by either side, the stakes are set. Mari has no intention of passing up the chance to become the most powerful witch of all time and of all peoples. “I see the target—no obstacles!” is her motto. She’s almost ready to take the final step, but Anton and his team continue to get in her way. The clash is inevitable! The one who has prepared better—and the one who truly has something to lose—will win!

This is the final installment of the cycle “Necromancer for an Hour”.
