Notes: This was written for the LiveJournal community, [livejournal.com profile] psohdrabble. Challenge #165 – 'Stopped Clock'





It was raining the day Tetsu taught Chris how to play chess. An explanation of the pieces and their movements was followed by a rundown of the rules. He showed Chris how to write down the moves and when to punch the clock.

Well into their first official game, Tetsu stopped his clock and leaned back smugly. Chris was learning rapidly and would make a fine player… eventually.

Too late he realized the trap, simple yet lethal. Chris’ knight moved across the board, followed by a gleeful, “Checkmate.”

“Beginner’s luck,” he mumbled, then, “How about best two out of three?”
