About Chess Story
Czentowic, champion d'échecs arrogant, esprit borné à outrance, inculte et étonnamment stupide, occupe le premier plan jusqu'à l'entrée en scène de Monsieur B. Dès lors que cet aristocrate autrichien s'intéresse à la partie livrée entre le champion et les passagers amateurs, la direction du texte bascule.Par un effet de symétrie, la narration se transforme en un face à face tendu entre un esprit brillant et rapide à l'intelligence abstraite et un cerveau au pragmatisme brutal, incapable de projection véritable. Mise en scène percutante de la résurrection de la folie, cette nouvelle oscille entre ouverture et enfermement.
