Kings can do anything! But can young queens?
The game is coming to an end—in the rapid endgame, the royal retinue leaves the battlefield. There’s no longer a piece available for rooks to move. Five minutes to the queen of almost—Natalie Olongo—and her loyal officer, the “magnificent Констан,” and, supposedly, a passing pawn. What will the end of the game be—victory or defeat?
…Or a draw, if anyone’s triumph is, in principle, impossible.
