the art of chess

She began to wait for his first move,not in chess, but in displaying something that would match her own feelings. twice she considered letting him win. She, young, felt the alpha had to make the first move. except in chess. where her strength lay in the opening. now, growing resentful of her self imposed submissiveness, she not only defended her position on the board, but tore agressively into his flanks, pushed her way past his pawns, seized his knights and took possession of his bishops. Once, she almost let him win. She went through with her plan during the opening, sacrificing four pawns, both knights and one castle. she felt like a fraud. In the end game she castled. exchanged a pawn in the eighth rank for a second queen, and fought like a demon to make up for early losses.
the game ended in a draw.
