I loved it! I also disagree with those who don't see it following the theme - Estoria was very definitely playing the part of strength in the narrative.
My only nitpick is that you have a typo in the 6th paragraph of the second column, "Estoria moved a second pawn to capture the one Estoria put forward". I'm pretty sure that Estoria was capturing K-7S2's pawn, not their own ;-)
