In a black and white world, some think too much before acting while others act without thinking. To win some sacrifices will have to be made. Between light and shadow two forces balance and fight for total domination. The "Opera Mate" is a famous checkmate performed by Paul Morphy in 1858. Morphy was invited by the Duke of Brunswick (Karl II) and his friend Count Isouard, to play a game of chess during the presentation of the opera Norma by Bellini, at the Teatro Salle Le Peletier in Paris. The game played in the Duke's private box turned out to be one of the most emblematic matches in the history of chess. On each move of the game, Morphy develops a piece, creates a threat or captures an enemy piece, culminating in the Queen's sacrifice to deliver checkmate on the next move.
