She
ate
a
fast
lunch
of
spinach
quiche
and
a
kind
of
Slavic
pommes
frites
in
the
restaurant
.
But
when
she
went
up
to
her
room
at
three
-
thirty
and
got
into
bed
,
she
found
sleeping
out
of
the
question
.
There
was
an
intermittent
hammering
going
on
above
her
head
,
as
though
workmen
were
installing
a
new
carpet
.
She
could
hear
the
clumping
of
boots
,
and
every
now
and
then
it
sounded
as
if
someone
had
dropped
a
bowling
ball
from
waist
level
.
She
lay
in
bed
for
twenty
minutes
,
but
it
was
no
good
.
By
the
time
she
finished
supper
and
arrived
at
the
playing
hall
she
was
more
tired
than
she
ever
remembered
being
.
Her
head
ached
and
her
body
was
sore
from
being
hunched
over
a
chessboard
.
She
wished
fervently
that
she
could
have
been
given
a
shot
to
knock
her
out
for
the
afternoon
,
that
she
could
face
Luchenko
with
a
few
solid
hours
of
dreamless
sleep
behind
her
.
She
wished
she
had
risked
taking
a
Librium
.
A
little
fuzz
in
her
mind
would
be
better
than
this
.
When
Luchenko
came
into
the
parlor
room
where
the
adjournment
was
to
be
played
,
he
looked
calm
and
rested
.
His
suit
,
a
dark
worsted
this
time
,
was
impeccably
pressed
and
fit
him
beautifully
across
the
shoulders
.
It
occurred
to
her
that
he
must
buy
all
his
clothes
abroad
.
He
smiled
at
her
with
restrained
politeness
;
she
managed
to
nod
and
say
,
“
Good
evening
.
”
There
were
two
tables
set
up
for
adjourned
games
.
A
classic
rookpawn
ending
was
in
place
on
one
of
them
,
waiting
for
Borgov
and
Duhamel
.
Her
position
with
Luchenko
had
been
laid
out
on
the
other
.
As
she
sat
down
at
her
end
of
it
,
Borgov
and
Duhamel
came
in
together
and
walked
to
the
board
at
the
other
side
of
the
room
in
grim
silence
.
There
was
a
referee
for
each
game
,
and
the
clocks
were
already
set
up
.
Beth
had
her
ninety
minutes
of
overtime
,
and
Luchenko
had
the
same
,
along
with
an
extra
thirty
-
five
minutes
left
from
yesterday
.
She
had
forgotten
about
his
extra
time
.
That
put
three
things
against
her
:
his
having
the
white
pieces
,
his
still
unstopped
attack
,
and
his
extra
allotment
of
time
.
Their
referee
brought
over
the
envelope
,
opened
it
,
showed
the
score
sheet
to
both
players
and
made
Beth
’
s
move
himself
.
He
pressed
the
button
that
started
Luchenko
’
s
clock
,
and
without
hesitation
Luchenko
advanced
the
pawn
that
Beth
had
expected
.
There
was
a
certain
relief
in
seeing
him
make
the
move
.
She
had
been
forced
to
consider
several
other
replies
;
now
the
lines
from
them
could
be
dropped
from
her
mind
.
Across
the
room
she
heard
Borgov
cough
loudly
and
blow
his
nose
.
She
tried
to
put
Borgov
out
of
her
mind
.
She
would
be
playing
him
tomorrow
,
but
it
was
time
now
to
get
to
work
on
this
game
,
to
put
everything
she
had
into
it
.
Borgov
would
almost
certainly
beat
Duhamel
and
begin
tomorrow
undefeated
.
If
she
wanted
to
win
this
tournament
she
had
to
rescue
the
game
in
front
of
her
.
Luchenko
was
ahead
by
the
exchange
,
and
that
was
bad
.
But
he
had
that
ineffective
rook
to
contend
with
,
and
after
several
hours
of
study
she
had
found
three
ways
of
using
it
against
him
.
If
she
could
bring
it
off
,
she
could
exchange
a
bishop
for
it
and
even
the
score
.
She
forgot
about
how
tired
she
was
and
went
to
work
.
It
was
uphill
and
intricate
.
And
Luchenko
had
that
extra
time
.
She
decided
on
a
plan
developed
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
began
retreating
her
queenside
knight
,
taking
it
on
a
virtual
knight
’
s
tour
to
get
it
up
to
king
five
.
Clearly
he
was
ready
for
that
—
had
analyzed
it
himself
sometime
since
yesterday
morning
.
Probably
with
assistance
.
But
there
was
something
he
might
not
have
analyzed
,
good
as
he
was
,
and
that
he
might
not
see
now
.
She
pulled
her
bishop
away
from
the
diagonal
his
rook
was
on
and
hoped
he
wouldn
’
t
see
what
she
was
planning
.
It
would
appear
that
she
was
attacking
his
pawn
formation
,
forcing
him
to
make
an
unstable
advance
.
But
she
wasn
’
t
concerned
with
his
pawn
position
.
She
wanted
that
rook
off
the
board
badly
enough
to
kill
for
it
.
Luchenko
merely
pushed
up
the
pawn
.
He
could
have
thought
longer
about
it
—
should
have
thought
longer
—
but
he
didn
’
t
.
He
moved
the
pawn
.
Beth
felt
a
tiny
thrill
.
She
took
the
knight
off
the
diagonal
and
put
it
not
on
king
five
,
but
on
queen
bishop
five
,
offering
it
to
his
queen
.
If
his
queen
took
it
,
she
would
take
the
rook
for
her
bishop
.
That
in
itself
would
be
no
good
for
her
—
paying
for
the
rook
with
the
knight
and
the
bishop
—
but
what
Luchenko
hadn
’
t
seen
was
that
she
would
get
his
knight
in
return
because
of
the
queen
move
.
It
was
sweet
.
It
was
very
sweet
.
She
looked
up
hesitantly
at
him
.
She
had
not
looked
at
him
in
almost
an
hour
,
and
his
appearance
was
a
surprise
.
He
had
loosened
his
tie
,
and
it
was
twisted
to
one
side
of
his
collar
.
His
hair
was
mussed
.
He
was
biting
his
thumb
and
his
face
was
shockingly
drawn
.
