Fabulous chess "The Struggle of Good against Evil"

This game set is based on the fairy-tale characters of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin in the year of his 225th birthday.

Pushkin's "Fairy Tales" contain not only breadth, scope, and simple-minded wisdom, but also philosophical meaning. It was to adults that Alexander Sergeevich originally addressed his fairy tales. These narratives, taken together, represent a process of interaction between two principles — Good and Evil. Plunging into a fairy-tale world, a kind person will hurry to do Good, and an evil one will reflect on what he is doing, and perhaps become a little kinder and more merciful. Pushkin, of course, understood that Evil does not exist by itself, but is only a shadow of light, without which it could not exist even in our imaginations. Evil, as an "opponent", the opposing side, is necessary for a more vivid manifestation of Good, like cold for a greater appreciation of heat. Fairy tales are characterized by the absence of semitones. Evil is always scary and ugly, but Good is beautiful and pure. Alexander Sergeyevich put Goodness and guidance for future generations into his fairy tales, because it's not for nothing that they say: "A fairy tale was, but there's a hint in it, a lesson for a good fellow." The great Confucius is right: "One must pay for good with kindness, and for evil with justice." Evil has been punished: three conspirators under the leadership of Baba Babarikha have been stung to outrage by a midge; an old woman is sitting at a broken trough; the terrible villain-tormentor, the hunchbacked dwarf Chernomor, has lost his beard, and with it his strength.…

But still, Kindness forgives more often. Even the machinations of evil women, whom Saltana and I are happy to let go home in peace! And he can't forgive evil. It's jealous, angry, and vindictive. Evil must be fought, but without malice and hatred in the heart, as A.S. Pushkin shows in his fairy tales. The Goldfish acted wisely: "she just splashed her tail on the water." And justice was done to the dreary and menacing sound of the sea.

His old woman is sitting on the doorstep.,
And in front of her is a broken trough.

Evil has two hands. It's a lie and a fear. Let's recall the "Tale of Tsar Saltan":

They give the messenger a drink when he's drunk,
They tell him to rob him
And into his empty bag
They shove an empty letter.

You can resist Evil with two "swords": knowledge (intelligence, wit) against lies and force against fear. Let's recall the "Tale of the Priest and his employee Balda" with its rude humor, which glorifies the mind and wit of a simple good man and punishes greed — one of the aspects of Evil. King Guidon went to a clever trick, turned into a mosquito, then a fly and a bumblebee to punish Evil and restore justice for the triumph of Good. It always triumphs: at the merry feast at Tsar Saltan's, and in Vladimir's high grindhouse.

"And the power of the secret enchantments has disappeared."

"Peace will come, malice will perish," says A.S. Pushkin. And Evil will remain at the broken trough.

Even the forces of nature serve the Good: the red sun, the round-faced moon, and the fearless wind help Prince Elisha. And a free wave splashed a barrel with a mother and baby onto the land.

Where is the line between Good and Evil? They are mixed up in every person in the most bizarre way. Those who manifest a positive plus — Good — are popularly called kind people. And if they have a negative advantage — Evil — hidden, it does not mean that it does not exist. Otherwise, how can we explain that the kind, loving Tsar Saltan, in anger, can "do something": hang a messenger for bad news?

In anger, he began to wonder
And he wanted to hang the messenger.,
But he relented, this time.

And in the soul of Chernavka, who agreed to an evil deed on the orders of her stepmother, there is still a tiny ray of kindness.:

The one who loves her in her soul,
Not killed, not tied up,
She let go and said:
"Don't mess around, God be with you."

There is Good and Evil in each of us. The boundary between them runs through a person's heart, through his soul. And each of us has the opportunity to shift it in one direction or another. Therefore, hurry up to do Good, otherwise you will start doing Evil. This is exactly what the great A.S. Pushkin wanted to tell us with his wonderful fairy tales.
