Extended description

Sometimes luck comes in the most unexpected forms…

Sergeant Tony Mariani wasn’t looking forward to spending two years in Thailand during the Vietnam War. After entering a shop, he spies a chess table–something to pass the time with he figures. And suddenly things start looking up.

When it’s time to return stateside, he carefully packs his most precious possession, and misfortune immediately befalls. So, it’s no wonder he can’t wait to get home, where once again, life takes a turn for the better.

But then the unthinkable happens, and he loses the chess table. Will his luck ever spin in the direction of good again, or will it be forever stuck in the rut of bad?
