Abstract

Government & Law Law Social Sciences
The tournament-tested chess players sit across from each other.(1) One leans back in her chair, arms crossed, a slight smirk on her face. Her opponent defiantly hunches over the board, hands clasping his forehead like a visor, his face reddening with each passing second of the clock. Sweat forms on his old, wrinkled brow, his hand shakes slightly as he clasps his face, and then it hovers across the board. His time is running out, and he sees no possible move to escape his opponent's deadly mating attack. Cursing himself for hanging a piece in the opening, Boris resigns and pushes his way through the crowd gathered around the board. Throughout this contest, Natasha had calmly rocked back and forth in her chair, eyeing the prominent, world-class chess players in the crowd who had intently watched. Once the crowd disperses and the chess pieces and board are secured in their box, Natasha haughtily drops a carbon copy of her victorious game into the designated box, knowing that her brilliant masterpiece will soon find a permanent place in the chess databases for everyone to see.
