though there is only one game
and one rule for play
each chooses his or her game
and we are divided in this way:
- the game as it is
- the game invented within the game
- the game of denying the game
the chess player attempting to play chess
with one of two opponents
one is sure that chess is about building a tower with the pieces
and the second has flipped over the board to stare at the clear surface and agonize in contemplation over how to play on blankness
maturity is sincerity
the game requires sincerity
