The heroine does not run away from battle or fear surrender, but accepts that the bitterness of defeat becomes sweeter by proudly facing a stronger opponent.

She assimilates her opponent's lessons of strategy and tactics in preparation for the next encounter.
With an effervescent push of champagne, Checkmate swings into action in a brilliant sparkle of hope. Juicy, seductive fruits and flowers follow, drawing on their reserves of willpower.
In the final moments one experiences the bliss of surrender, enveloped in an intoxicating blend of tobacco and bourbon.

The memory of battle fades as the ground lulls you with powerful, robust hints of earth, moss and patchouli.
You are vanquished and victorious at the same time, completely at peace, surrendering completely to the irresistible thrill of conquest.
