Sex
,
with
its
reputation
for
complexity
,
was
refreshingly
simple
.
At
least
for
Beth
and
Harry
.
They
were
in
bed
together
on
his
second
night
in
the
house
.
It
took
ten
minutes
and
was
punctuated
by
a
few
sharp
intakes
of
breath
.
She
had
no
orgasm
,
and
his
was
restrained
.
Afterward
he
went
to
his
bed
in
her
old
room
and
she
slept
easily
,
falling
asleep
to
images
not
of
love
but
of
wooden
counters
on
a
wooden
board
.
The
next
morning
she
played
him
at
breakfast
and
the
combinations
arose
from
her
fingertips
and
spread
themselves
on
the
board
as
prettily
as
flowers
.
She
beat
him
four
quick
games
,
letting
him
play
the
white
pieces
each
time
and
hardly
looking
at
the
board
.
While
he
was
washing
the
dishes
he
talked
about
Philidor
,
one
of
his
heroes
.
Philidor
was
a
French
musician
who
had
played
blindfolded
in
Paris
and
London
.
“
I
read
about
those
old
players
sometimes
,
and
it
all
seems
strange
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
can
’
t
believe
it
was
really
chess
.
”
“
Don
’
t
knock
it
,
”
Beltik
said
.
“
Bent
Larsen
plays
Philidor
’
s
Defense
.
”
“
It
’
s
too
cramped
.
The
king
’
s
bishop
gets
locked
in
.
”
“
It
’
s
solid
,
”
he
said
.
“
What
I
wanted
to
tell
you
about
Philidor
was
that
Diderot
wrote
him
a
letter
.
You
know
Diderot
?
”
“
The
French
Revolution
?
”
“
Yeah
.
Philidor
was
doing
blindfold
exhibitions
and
burning
out
his
brain
,
or
whatever
it
was
they
thought
you
did
in
the
eighteenth
century
.
Diderot
wrote
him
:
‘
It
is
foolish
to
run
the
risk
of
going
mad
for
vanity
’
s
sake
.
’
I
think
of
that
sometimes
when
I
’
m
analyzing
my
ass
off
over
a
chessboard
.
”
He
looked
at
her
quietly
for
a
moment
.
“
Last
night
was
nice
,
”
he
said
.
She
sensed
that
for
him
it
was
a
concession
to
talk
about
it
,
and
her
feelings
were
mixed
.
“
Doesn
’
t
Koltanowski
play
blindfolded
all
the
time
?
”
she
said
.
“
He
’
s
not
crazy
.
”
