Life appears to us as an opponent we cannot beat. I've been thinking about this for a long time. Everything in this photo is a symbol. I want you to think about all the symbols. Life is a cruel game, it allows you to play with 6 horses, but life is standing in front of you with a big black horse. The woman in the shadow is life and your movement is always under control.

So is this pessimism? No. We must stand tall and still make our move. We still need to make moves to sing out loud, to be happy, to beat life. If you do not make any moves, the game does not end in a draw. In the end, life will beat us. But it must have been a good defeat. Gasparov was also defeated.

Defeat is not collapse or surrender. Defeat is history and we are not afraid of it. Don't tell kids they're superheroes, let the kids understand defeat. Let the children taste defeat. This is a manifesto of defeat.
