Scandinavian Defense

On the chessboard, divided by golden lines, a battle scene appears where strategy and fate meet. The white pawn is not just a piece; it is a will in motion. The spear in its hand shows the sharpness of the move and the inevitability of the attack. The black pawn is like a falling warrior—it does not retreat, but stands on the edge of defeat in wounded silence.

This work tells a story of war, balance, and change. The expected response of black turns into a moment of surprised surrender; a defensive move suddenly becomes an attack.

This composition sees traditional chess openings not just as game strategies, but as reflections of power struggles throughout history. Unlike the classic David and Goliath story, here white strikes first. The balance of power is reversed, the rules of the game are rewritten.

This move, which begins on the chessboard, is not just about the pieces. It is a visual representation of one of the oldest movements in human history: Only in the final move do we understand who attacks and who defends.
