a story to tell--@nytimes

Coupdegracefor https://dai.ly/x2h8k3

Elegant woman, she invented misfortune, relaxes, quiet park in front of her; in front of her too, the appointment arrives.

She smooths her flared, blue, wool skirt, then pushes hercorn-stalky, coffee-color coloreddreads,eyes -- she pushes back hair. Her appointment surprises her from behind, in silent Gucci Loafers, the only native shoe he wears.

She turns and extends her needy arm, holding her smooth hand out and without a losing moment, loosens his chess board from the his armpit.

They kiss others, then miss-kiss, three times, alternating cheeks, close, peripheral, misplaced graces, to cheek flesh faces of ancient places.

His appointment at 5 o'clock advances, his mastery remains steady.

He maneuvers her body like a Knight moves on a Pawn;  paraboloid puppet without body, bare brush without shadow, Balthus'King of Cats without Doppelverabredung.

Romantic world,
here are some secrets
too good to rub or
Thrill.

Twenty-five minutes, 

he sees she has
     misunderstood,
        uncoupling in

5 moves;

she will give 8.

She visualizes it;
     2 moves, 

open lane in rush hour--45 seconds.

5 moves remain

She, unduly, kills
hisKing.

Its benignity,

silent grace, 

draw-to-win in the park.

She thinks ritual ispower,

      kind andmerciful, theirs alone.

"Kill my King!

Notme."

says he.

Tomorrow she's killing him again, 

untilhe understands, 

"ThereisnoVictory, 

likenoVictory."

A story for the telling—@nytimes

Knight takes Pawn, en passant;

without motion.

later he sees

she understands;

5 moves.

She'll prolong it 10.

she visualizes it 3 moves

INTO an

open lane;

5 moves, 45 seconds.

She turns gently, watches his face.

Delivers the King, Le Grand Coup de Grâce topples.

.

She finds this ritual powerful, kind and compassionate.

It may be her only

unspoken

only.

"Kill my king, not me."

Tomorrow again, because she knows,

"There is no victory like no victory."

In chess, an isolated pawn is a pawn that has no friendly pawn on an adjacent file. Isolated pawns are usually a weakness because they cannot be protected by other pawns.

SHELLEY MANNE

THE ISOLATED PAWN 

[MANNEHOLE]

Isolated pawns can, however, provide improved development and associated opportunities for counterplay that offset or even outweigh their weaknesses. The files adjacent to the isolated pawn are either open or half-open, providing two lanes of attack for the rooks and the queen.
