If the apocalypse is a scenario where one man fights for survival against his own, a chess equivalent would be a single piece trying to take down the entire opposing army.
In a certain variation of the Caro-Kann Exchange Variation, it is precisely what White tries to achieve by having a lone knight dominate the board.
Even though moving the knight for the second time violates the basic opening principle, this opening is actually quite playable.
