Abstract
This study is based on two texts dealing with strategic games: the chess game (in The Royal Game) and the game of Go (in The Master of Go). It draws a parallel between these two works which both investigate the mechanism of using board games to elaborate a complex and polyphonic story where the reader himself seems to be part of the pawns.
