“
Your
queen
’
ll
be
pinned
,
”
she
said
,
“
after
the
king
moves
.
”
He
looked
back
to
the
board
and
stared
at
the
position
.
Then
he
said
,
“
Shit
!
”
He
did
not
turn
over
his
king
or
offer
to
shake
Beth
’
s
hand
.
He
got
up
from
the
table
and
walked
away
,
jamming
his
hands
into
his
pockets
.
Beth
took
her
pencil
and
circled
HARMON
on
her
score
sheet
.
When
she
left
at
ten
o
’
clock
there
were
three
names
on
the
UNDEFEATED
list
.
HARMON
was
still
at
the
bottom
.
BELTIK
was
still
at
the
top
.
In
her
room
that
night
she
could
not
get
to
sleep
because
of
the
way
the
games
kept
playing
themselves
over
and
over
in
her
head
long
after
she
had
stopped
enjoying
them
.
After
several
hours
of
this
she
got
out
of
bed
and
in
her
blue
pajamas
walked
over
to
the
dormer
windows
.
She
raised
a
shade
and
looked
out
at
the
newly
bare
trees
by
the
light
of
the
street
lamp
,
and
at
the
dark
houses
beyond
the
trees
.
The
street
was
silent
and
empty
.
There
was
a
sliver
of
a
moon
,
partly
obscured
by
clouds
.
The
air
was
chilly
.
Beth
had
learned
not
to
believe
in
God
during
her
time
in
Methuen
’
s
chapel
,
and
she
never
prayed
.
But
now
she
said
,
under
her
breath
,
Please
God
let
me
play
Beltik
and
checkmate
him
.
In
her
desk
drawer
,
in
the
toothbrush
holder
,
were
seventeen
green
pills
,
and
there
were
more
in
a
little
box
on
her
closet
shelf
.
She
had
thought
earlier
about
taking
two
of
them
to
help
her
doze
off
.
But
she
did
not
.
She
went
back
to
bed
,
exhausted
now
and
her
mind
blank
,
and
slept
soundly
.

On
Saturday
morning
she
had
hoped
to
be
playing
someone
with
a
rating
over
1800
.
The
man
at
registration
had
said
there
were
three
who
were
that
high
.
But
on
the
pairings
she
was
shown
playing
Black
against
someone
named
Townes
with
a
rating
of
1724
.
That
was
lower
than
her
last
game
,
the
evening
before
.
She
went
to
the
desk
and
asked
about
it
.
