Airport-Chess: Alien Dr.

A Story by Abishai100

A 'chess-prince' sets-up the game-table outside JFK for a rousing traveler-diary and greets an 'alien' with message(s) of distance.

A fun chess-vignette inspired loosely by the 'cool' movie Searching for Bobby Fischer (Ben Kingsley). Thanks for reading,

Every summer day in 2023, Amlan Satan, prince of chess, would sit outside the gates of JFK (Airport) and set-up his chess-table and arrange all the white-and-dark pieces and play with himself, sometimes playing as the white-side, sometimes the dark. He also carried his nifty iPhone and would take coffee-breaks to surf on Facebook, which had become quite popular.

AMLAN SATAN (Diary): Playing chess outside the airport and allowing travelers to watch reminds me of the 'magic' of Earth.

Amlan Satan had played chess all his life and sometimes against other players online (Facebook) and sometimes just with himself, as alternating white-and-dark sides/teams. He grew quite fond of the game, involving inventive and imaginative forms of offense-defense choreography and requiring a certain degree of 'human' confidence.

One day, a media-figure who'd been at JFK (Airport) noticed this chess-prince playing outside the iconic/symbolic Western airport and took stock of all the folks who'd been watching him, realizing that this 'dude' was something like a 'street-performer' and created a special orientation of the general drama of American traffic distance(s)!

One day, a strange looking black-man insisted he sit down at Satan's little 'prince-chess' table outside JFK (Airport) to play the game against the wonder-dude of the West. He told Amlan about the wonder(s) of Earth and the mystery of 'alien-intelligence' and of the intrigue/mystery of playing against a 'non-human' opponent! Satan, prince-of-chess, found this rather strange black-man quite interesting/bubbly and started talking to him about his other hobby, his love of sci-fi/adventure comics. He told him of his 'magical' love of Facebook-IQ.

MAN: You must've read the special Justice League issue featuring the wonder-heroes going 'at-it' with chess/game theory!

SATAN (Amlan): Yeah...I actually own that issue...reminds me of chess (ha).

MAN: Very cool, Mr. Prince (really).

Before the strange man departed from the prince's company, he made a very strange 'revelation' and took off his sunglasses and revealed his glowing red-eye(s) and explained in a certain surprise, "I'm not a human, which is why you found playing me...quite unusual, Mr. Prince; I'm from Mars!" and then, just like that, he vanished from Amlan's sight. He'd never forget this.
