A King Who Became A God

By: Martin, Bafana

A king who loved his son more than his own crown. A trusted advisor who served two masters. A crocodile who ruled the waters and craved the throne.

In this unique book, you will first enter the ancient allegory of The King Who Became A God - a tale of betrayal, sacrifice, death, and divine restoration. The King's only son is lured to the Nile, his head swallowed by the Crocodile. The King commands his own execution. But from the depths, he rises as a God, bringing justice and eternal peace.

Then, the board is revealed.

Every character, every event, every object in the story is a chess piece or a chess move:

The King and his 12 servants = the chessboard setupThe Nile Crocodile = the deadly Knight forkThe son's death = the gambit (deliberate sacrifice)The King's walk into the river = the endgame King walkThe God giving His head = pawn promotion to a QueenThe thorn tree = the forbidden square

No dry diagrams. No boring repetition. Just a powerful story that teaches you to play chess - and to think like a king.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced player seeking deeper strategy, this book will change the way you see the board.

Includes: complete story, 7 chess reflections, exercises, glossary, and quick-reference appendices.
