A chess tournament. A story for children about Seryozha.
Everyone needs the ability to behave correctly, especially in public: speak convincingly, make a cheerful or sad face, and so on.
Seryozha signed up for a theater club.
One of the useful exercises was training of attempts to behave the way famous figures behaved.
For example, photographs of the famous chess player Alexander Alekhine (the fourth World Chess Champion) and documentaries about Alekhine were found in archival collections.
Repeating Alekhine's gait and his manner, Seryozha thought: "This is very interesting!"
He came up with a great idea.
In a short time, a chess tournament was organized (on hundreds of boards) with the participation of quite famous chess players.
Seryozha had to play alone against all these participants of the tournament.
Naturally, the preparing in media was carried out. Various commentators of different directions glorified Seryozha's chess skills. It seemed that the situation of the other participants in the tournament was hopeless.
Thus, many famous chess players were ready to give up even before the tournament began.
A well-known stage director was invited to the tournament for a direct reaction to the situation.
The tournament started a few days later.
Seryozha arrived at the tournament in an excellent car with flashing lights, an entourage and bodyguards.
He entered the hall with a confident step - like Alekhine.
Everyone froze. It was clear that the position of his opponents was hopeless.
Those participants who were sufficiently previously prepared via the consumption of media products, even before the game began were throwing the king on the chessboard as a sign of surrender.
But there were also those who sluggishly moved the chess pieces.
The famous director immediately organized the delivery of a hypnotist (it was like the legendary influence of a hypnotist in one of the chess matches for the world crown - there was also, according to legend, a hypnotist sitting in the hall and influencing one of the applicants for the world title).
In the tournament organized by Seryozha, the hypnotist was a huge wrestler with huge hands and an intimidating face. He was approaching Seryozha's opponents, looking at them with hypnotical glance and was slamming own right fist into own left palm.
Soon all the opponents surrendered, except one.
This opponent was pressing (time to time) the button of the chess clock, moved the pieces on the board. Who knows how effective his game was?
But since Seryozha looked like Alekhine, but he played chess only in early childhood, the game began to drag on.
The famous stage director (with the help of Seryozha's friends) immediately took additional measures.
An unyielding chess player received a call on his cell phone. A magpie called from the dacha. From under the neighboring fence, a hose was imperceptibly put (stretched) onto Seryozha's plot and his plot was filled with water. Let it be on the street the 31st of December! (Or January 1st!). But the temperature outside is positive. About plus 5 degrees Celsius. So a huge water pool was formed on the site. And the excess water flows under the house, into the basement, so that the basement is flooded already by a quarter.
The magpie reported that some activist walks around the garden association and tells a terrible story that the electric wires in the dacha are on fire. In fact, the wires are safe and sound, not at all damaged. But any planned action needs an information preparation and the formation of public opinion.
Immediately, a video clip came to cell phone of unyielding chess player - from an unknown well-wisher. A fat elderly woman hits the door of the apartment of an unyielding chess player with great force. She declares herself a neighbor and demands that the unyielding chess player stop making noise. He threatens to contact the militia.
How can a chess player, being at a tournament, make noise in his apartment? But with well-known creative skills, inventive persons can make something useful out of such a performance.
Well, to exclude a household with an area of 150 square meters from the State Register of Immovable Buildings is also not so difficult. An unyielding chess player probably understands this. What does the constitutional right of ownership look like in such a situation?
The flooding of the site and basement, the dissemination of information about burning electric wires, blows of huge force at the apartment door demanding that noise be stopped, the exclusion of a 150-square-meter household from the State Register of Immovable Buildings - all this influenced the unyielding chess player, but he continued to move the pieces on the board.
The famous stage director recommended to declare an indefinite break in the tournament (similar to what was done at that very chess tournament for the world chess crown with the participation of a hypnotist). What does one chess party decide? One chessboard? And it is so clear that Seryozha is the new Alekhine.
The next day, Seryozha went to a theater club in a great mood. Great exercises. It is necessary to skillfully imitate famous figures. As the chess tournament has shown, this gives an excellent result!
