She
looked
at
the
magazine
in
her
hand
and
then
over
at
the
table
by
the
window
again
,
then
at
her
watch
.
It
was
ten
after
eight
.
I
ll
have
the
eggs
first
,
she
said
.
They
got
sandwiches
from
a
deli
for
lunch
and
ate
them
over
the
board
.
Supper
came
from
a
Chinese
take
-
out
on
First
Avenue
.
Benny
would
not
let
her
play
quickly
through
the
openings
;
he
stopped
her
whenever
a
move
was
at
all
obscure
and
asked
her
why
she
did
it
.
He
made
her
analyze
everything
out
of
the
ordinary
.
Sometimes
he
would
physically
stop
her
hand
from
moving
a
piece
to
ask
questions
.
Why
not
advance
the
knight
?
or
Why
isn
t
he
defending
against
the
rook
?
or
What
s
going
to
become
of
the
backward
pawn
?
It
was
rigorous
and
intense
,
and
he
did
not
let
up
.
She
had
been
aware
of
such
questions
for
years
but
had
never
allowed
herself
to
pursue
them
with
this
kind
of
rigor
.
Often
her
mind
would
be
racing
with
the
attack
possibilities
inherent
in
the
positions
that
developed
in
front
of
her
,
wanting
to
push
Luchenko
or
Mecking
or
Czerniak
into
lightning
attacks
against
Borgov
,
when
Benny
stopped
her
with
a
question
about
defense
or
opening
the
light
or
dark
squares
or
contesting
a
file
with
a
rook
.
It
infuriated
her
sometimes
,
yet
she
could
see
the
rightness
of
his
questions
.
She
had
been
playing
grandmaster
games
in
her
head
from
the
time
she
first
discovered
Chess
Review
,
but
she
had
not
been
disciplined
about
it
.
She
played
them
to
exult
in
the
win
to
feel
the
stab
of
excitement
at
a
sacrifice
or
a
forced
mate
,
especially
in
the
games
that
were
printed
in
books
precisely
because
they
incorporated
drama
of
that
kind
like
the
game
books
by
Fred
Reinfeld
that
were
full
of
queen
sacrifices
and
melodrama
.
She
knew
from
her
tournament
experience
that
you
couldn
t
rely
on
your
opponent
setting
himself
up
for
a
queen
sacrifice
or
a
surprise
mate
with
knight
and
rook
;
still
,
she
treasured
the
thrill
of
games
like
that
.
It
was
what
she
loved
in
Morphy
,
not
his
routine
games
and
certainly
not
his
lost
ones
and
Morphy
like
everyone
else
had
lost
games
.
But
she
had
always
been
bored
by
ordinary
chess
even
when
it
was
played
by
grandmasters
,
bored
in
the
way
that
she
was
bored
by
Reuben
Fine
s
endgame
analyses
and
the
counteranalyses
in
places
like
Chess
Review
that
pointed
out
errors
in
Reuben
Fine
.
She
had
never
done
anything
like
what
Benny
was
making
her
do
now
.

The
games
she
was
playing
were
serious
,
workmanlike
chess
played
by
the
best
players
in
the
world
,
and
the
amount
of
mental
energy
latent
in
each
move
was
staggering
.
Yet
the
results
were
often
monumentally
dull
and
inconclusive
.
An
enormous
power
of
thought
might
be
implicit
in
a
single
white
pawn
move
,
say
,
opening
up
a
long
-
range
threat
that
could
become
manifest
only
in
half
a
dozen
moves
;
but
Black
would
foresee
the
threat
and
find
the
move
that
canceled
it
out
,
and
the
brilliancy
would
be
aborted
.
It
was
frustrating
and
anticlimactic
,
yet
because
Benny
forced
her
to
stop
and
see
what
was
going
on
fascinating
.
They
kept
it
up
for
six
days
,
leaving
the
apartment
only
when
necessary
and
once
,
on
Wednesday
night
,
going
to
a
movie
.
Benny
did
not
own
a
TV
,
or
a
stereo
;
his
apartment
was
for
eating
,
sleeping
and
chess
.
They
played
through
the
Hastings
booklet
and
the
Russian
one
,
not
missing
a
game
except
for
the
grandmaster
draws
.
On
Tuesday
she
got
her
lawyer
in
Kentucky
on
the
phone
and
asked
him
to
see
if
everything
was
all
right
at
the
house
.
She
went
to
Benny
s
branch
of
Chemical
Bank
and
opened
an
account
with
the
winner
s
check
from
Ohio
.
It
would
take
five
days
for
it
to
clear
.
She
had
enough
traveler
s
checks
to
pay
her
share
of
the
expenses
until
then
.
