We built the identity around a single rule: every image lives in one saturated hue plus a neutral, and chess pieces only ever appear as something held, poured, or served — a knight standing in a coupe, riding chopsticks, a board rendered in shot glasses on the bar top. The evening itself is structured as three phases, Openings, The Middlegame, Endgames, carried through to tables numbered by chess coordinate and a bill that arrives on a card marked simply "Check." The mark is a mirrored pair of hand-inked knights facing each other, with a supporting device, the knight's move traced as a thin L-shaped line, extended across the system as a divider, a bullet, and a repeating knight's-tour pattern.
