The chessplayer
His heart dropped after the screen displayed the words “white
checkmated”. After all, he was up a rook, had better position, and was rated
much higher than his opponent. Nevertheless, his king was hemmed in by his own
rooks in such a way that his opponent’s only remaining pieces—a bishop and a
queen—were able to deliver checkmate. In his desperation, following this
heartbreaking loss, he continued playing game after game, seeking redemption.
