Chapter 30 - How to forget a man

Life and chess have a lot in common.

They both require a basic ability to think, you get further if you learn to anticipate and plan out your progress, and when push comes to shove, when it comes to places on the board or spaces in your heart, one piece is always being overtaken by another.

I know a man who I could turn towards and help me to forget about the past month and a half of my life... a long and painful month and a half. I could let his knight overtake the pawn.

But I'm not going to.

I'm going to use my queen to protect him. For now.

I'm going to let the clock tick on, and I'm going to accrue time. I'm not going to worry yet about anyone's next move.

I need to understand what to do with the pawn, before I let him go.

And only time will tell.

And then the game shall continue.
