0-3s: He keeps his gaze on his opponent, his fingertips resting on the chess piece, and the corner of his mouth slowly lifts into a knowing smile. His chest rises with a calm breath. 3-6s: He slides the chess piece diagonally across the board in one smooth move, sets it down, and lifts his hand away. 6-8s: He leans back a little, raises his eyebrows at his opponent and taps his finger twice against his chin. Dappled sunlight drifts across his face as the leaves overhead move, and a pigeon walks past behind him. The camera stays still. One continuous unbroken take, no cuts. Audio: quiet static room noise, a single wooden click at the moment the chess piece lands on the board, pigeons cooing nearby, and footsteps crunching on gravel in the distance. Nothing else is audible.
