About the book: year / The quiet time is ending. Someone strong in the Hive began to act openly and harshly. Strong opponents are simply devoured whole, stubs are destroyed, and the infected, as usual, devour everyone. Someone started the second game of a chess gambit. To survive in this meat grinder, you should remember that it is not the strongest who wins, but the most prudent, and that any action is a move that will bring its consequences. The rook rushes in a straight line and sweeps away everything in its path. The bishop slides diagonally, slipping between the pieces. The horse jumps from an unattainable place. The pawn cuts from the edge away from itself. The queen attacks in all directions. The king slashes in all directions when enemies approach him. If you want to survive, win this game.
