The Trot of Chess Knights

The special space of the Institute Courtyards is an ideal oasis with remarkable relationships between children and adults. It is, on the one hand, absolutely real, and on the other hand, it is somewhat elusively different in its laws and rules from the ordinary, everyday world. In the Institute Courtyards, there is a special atmosphere of generosity and kindness. Here, everyone feels free, secure, and safe. However, this territory has its own boundaries, beyond which lies the ordinary world, far from ideal, where children and their parents face unpleasant surprises, causing anxiety and distress. However, the heroes of the novel cope with troubles, and from the Wheel of the Domovoy Likh — the main stabilizer of anomalous spaces — comes the joyful trot of chess knights, launched there by their collector Syoga. For middle and high school age.
