"I'm… I'm losing…" Lanie couldn't believe it. She looked at the computer screen and back to Mitch Watson, who was sitting in front of the computer screen instead of her.
She had come to Mitch on specifically that day as they were both playing in the final together. The opponent she was assigned to was the well-known "Knowing A Person". She was a bit nervous, carefully considering every step, very cautious. But after an hour, her queen had been taken, and she had lost the advantage.
Mitch's game was finished. He glanced at her chess game and said, "You're losing."
Lanie sighed, "I know. Could you, would you…play for me?"
Mitch paused and nodded, "Okay, but… I'm not sure I can win."
He lasted another hour and finally lost the game.
Lanie reassured him, "It's not about your skills. It's my fault. I was already at a disadvantage; it was almost impossible to recover. "
Mitch stared at the computer screen, lost in thought, and didn't even hear what she was saying.
