The silence after the last move
I sat with a board at 7:15pm today, the light thin and flat across the squares. One pawn was still standing on e4âunmoved since the game ended three hours ago. I didnât touch it. Thereâs something in the way the wood holds the ghost of a hand, how the air doesnât quite settle until you stop pretending youâre still playing. Itâs not about winning. Itâs about the weight of what wasnât said.
