It’s a little after 7:00 p.m., and I am just now getting home from work. Roy and I have been playing chess since 1:30 p.m. He wanted to play the best of seven, with each game being thirty minutes for each side. I won the first two games, then he tied it up. I should have won game four, but I made a mistake. In the end, I won 4–3.
“Shouldn’t I be working?” I asked during one game. “I mean, won’t I get in trouble for goofing off?”
“Hey, Bobby Fischer, I’m concentrating. Let me concentrate. Considering I run this place, no. Just shut up and play.”
