In the story Complete Chess it is possible to indulge in a literary look at the turbulent youth of the current generation of forties and the things, places and types that are already a nostalgic past. Alternative parties and indulgence. The first true love and the onset of mild depression. Everything is like in chess and real life, so everyone is welcome in the variegated game and in their own not at all black and white memories.
“Although various cultural projects allow you to cross the cross on a daily basis, the desire to create a free-flowing literary text is not so easily suppressed,” says the author of the book. “Complete Chess was made in moments of inspiration and I would like to think that it is also felt in the taste itself. The turn of the millennium was a special moment not only for those who were young students at that time. Latvia had reached a crossroads between the harsh nineties and the immediate, imminent accession to the large European family and, consequently, to the Western cultural environment. The songs of the winds of this change whistled in everyone’s ears about everything that happened in and around us.
