She
began
attacking
on
the
eighth
move
.
On
the
tenth
she
had
one
of
Annette
’
s
bishops
,
and
on
the
seventeenth
her
queen
.
Annette
had
not
even
castled
yet
.
She
reached
out
and
laid
her
king
on
its
side
when
Beth
took
her
queen
.
“
That
was
quick
,
”
she
said
.
She
sounded
relieved
to
have
lost
.
Beth
looked
at
the
clock
faces
.
Annette
had
used
thirty
minutes
,
and
Beth
seven
.
Waiting
for
Annette
to
move
had
been
the
only
problem
.
The
next
round
would
not
be
until
eleven
.
Beth
had
recorded
the
game
with
Annette
on
her
score
sheet
,
circled
her
own
name
at
the
top
as
winner
;
she
went
now
to
the
front
desk
and
put
the
sheet
into
the
basket
with
the
sign
reading
WINNERS
.
It
was
the
first
one
there
.
A
young
man
who
looked
like
a
college
student
came
up
as
she
was
walking
away
and
put
his
sheet
in
.
Beth
had
already
noticed
that
most
of
the
people
here
weren
’
t
good
-
looking
.
A
lot
of
them
had
greasy
hair
and
bad
complexion
;
some
were
fat
and
nervous
-
looking
.
But
this
one
was
tall
and
angular
and
relaxed
,
and
his
face
was
open
and
handsome
.
He
nodded
amiably
at
Beth
,
acknowledging
her
as
another
fast
player
,
and
she
nodded
back
.
She
began
walking
around
the
room
,
quietly
,
looking
at
some
of
the
games
being
played
.
Another
couple
finished
theirs
,
and
the
winner
went
up
front
to
turn
in
the
record
.
She
did
not
see
any
positions
that
looked
interesting
.
On
Board
Number
Seven
,
near
the
front
of
the
room
,
Black
had
a
chance
to
win
a
rook
by
a
two
-
move
combination
,
and
she
waited
for
him
to
move
the
necessary
bishop
.
But
when
the
time
came
he
simply
exchanged
pawns
in
the
center
.
He
had
not
seen
the
combination
.
The
tables
began
with
Board
Number
Three
rather
than
One
.
She
looked
around
the
room
,
at
the
rows
of
heads
bowed
over
the
boards
,
at
the
Beginners
Section
far
across
the
gym
.
Players
were
getting
up
from
their
chairs
as
games
ended
.
At
the
far
side
of
the
room
was
a
doorway
she
hadn
’
t
noticed
before
.
Above
it
was
a
cardboard
sign
saying
“
Top
Boards
.
”
Beth
walked
over
.
It
was
a
smaller
room
,
not
much
bigger
than
Mrs
.
Wheatley
’
s
living
room
.
There
were
two
separate
tables
and
a
game
was
going
on
at
each
.
The
tables
sat
in
the
center
of
the
floor
and
a
black
velvet
rope
on
wooden
staunchions
kept
the
watchers
from
getting
too
close
to
the
players
.
There
were
four
or
five
people
silently
watching
the
games
,
most
of
them
clustered
around
Board
Number
One
,
on
her
left
.
The
tall
,
good
-
looking
player
was
one
of
them
.
At
Board
One
two
men
were
sitting
in
what
seemed
to
be
utter
concentration
.
The
clock
between
them
was
different
from
the
others
Beth
had
seen
;
it
was
bigger
and
sturdier
.
One
man
was
fat
and
balding
with
a
darkness
to
his
features
like
the
Russians
in
the
pictures
,
and
he
wore
a
dark
suit
like
the
Russians
’
.
The
other
was
much
younger
and
wore
a
gray
sweater
over
a
white
shirt
.
He
unbuttoned
his
shirtsleeves
and
pulled
up
the
sleeves
to
his
elbows
,
one
arm
at
a
time
,
not
taking
his
eyes
from
the
board
.
Something
in
Beth
’
s
stomach
thrilled
.
This
was
the
real
thing
.
She
held
her
breath
and
studied
the
position
on
the
board
.
It
took
a
few
moments
to
penetrate
it
;
it
was
balanced
and
difficult
,
like
some
of
the
championship
games
in
Chess
Review
.
She
knew
it
was
Black
’
s
move
because
the
indicator
on
his
clock
was
moving
,
and
just
as
she
saw
that
knight
to
bishop
five
was
what
was
called
for
,
the
older
man
reached
out
and
moved
his
knight
to
bishop
five
.
The
good
-
looking
man
was
leaning
against
the
wall
now
.
Beth
went
over
to
him
and
whispered
,
“
Who
are
they
?
”
“
Beltik
and
Cullen
.
Beltik
’
s
the
State
Champion
.
”
“
Which
is
which
?
”
Beth
said
.
