Overview
Who was that guy? The file portrays a frustrated and bitter intellectual; one more like many others, except for his evident capacity to assume dangerous attitudes. However, the character who had kidnapped Marqués was, without a doubt, a professional, and not only in terms of literature. The whole kidnap operation seemed to be executed by someone extremely familiar with violence and simulation.Like the real, imminent danger threatening the king in a chess game, the Professor devises an intricate plan to regain his son, in an almost suicidal attempt to win the game against one of the best players of his kind. His contender, furious, puts into practice his usual tactics, successful so many times in the past. With the characteristic coldness of an individual whose actions are conceived through pain, this ingenious man conceives a near-impossible plan. Will he, an academic man of language, be able to defeat the giant, hoping for the same luck that David enjoyed when facing Goliath, well-equipped with his immense power?
Synopsis
Quién era aquel tipo? El expediente describía a un intelectual frustrado y resentido; uno más, a no ser por su evidente capacidad para asumir actitudes peligrosas. Sin embargo, el sujeto que tenía secuestrado a Marqués era, sin duda, un profesional, y no precisamente de las letras. Toda la operación del secuestro parecía ejecutada por alguien largamente familiarizado con la violencia y la simulación.
Como un peligro inminente y real sobre la cabeza del rey en un juego de ajedrez, el Profesor maquina un elaborado plan para recuperar a su hijo en un intento, casi suicida, de ganarle la partida a uno de los mejores jugadores de su clase. Su contendor, furibundo, practica a su vez sus tácticas, tantas veces exitosas en el pasado. Con la frialdad característica de un hombre fraguado por el dolor, este ingenioso hombre se propone un absurdo. Será capaz, un simple estudioso del idioma, de vencer al gigante, esperando la suerte de David, frente a un Goliat, pertrechado con un inmenso poder?
