I'm a fan of the game. I play badly.

I didn't get a heck of a lot out of this story. I didn't mind reading it, but I'm not sure that I'm any better or more enriched for having done so.
Maybe I'm missing something, or I just need something a bit more high-concept. In any case, this short story has delusions of grandeur if it ever had the nerve to call itself a 'novel.'


A quick chess joke:

My friend and I were playing chess and he said "let's make this a little more interesting...."
So we stopped playing chess.
