  "A man in sweeping red cloak assaults a warrior draped in black, who pivots toward him as if caught by surprise. Face etched with rage, the aggressor draws back his sword arm as he dwarfs his opponent in size and ferocity. His advance is aggressive with his limbs aligned all in diagonals. Knees bent and both feet off the ground, he springs into his attack. The sweeping arc of his ornate handguard echoes the delicate filigree of his headpiece. In the background, men wearing feathered plumes on their heads—either red or black—stand among the orange and black checkered squares of the Martian stadium floor as if they are chess pieces on a board. One warrior takes a knee while another is bent at the waist, trying to catch his breath, propping himself on his sword with point in the ground. The bodies of defeated chessmen crumple where they fell as all attention turns to the main combatants."
