Obsession of the Mafia King
"To anticipate, to deceive, to manipulate."
Amara had played chess as a child, a casual game with her father. But Marco's lessons were different. He didn't teach openings or standard moves. He taught her about psychological warfare: how to feign weakness, how to sacrifice a piece to gain a larger advantage, how to read an opponent's tells, how to control the board by controlling their mind. He introduced her to other games, too – poker, bridge – not for the cards themselves, but for the art of bluffing, of seeing through a lie, of understanding human greed and fear.
