Doctor Pritchard slowly
scratched his glossy head

next move in his game
with Aldous. When he had
finished scratching, he
carefully ran his band
over his head, as though
he were smoothing his

ing had brought him to
the university many years
before, while he was very
young. He was the young
est man ever to head the
engineering department,
and this made him the
envy of every other pro
fessor in the school. A
wealth of time to experi
ment and the freedom to
use all of the vast facili
ties had led him to many
outstanding discoveries
and inventions. Notoriety,
notoriety, notoriety; how
he loved it! The more the
papers and magazines
clamored for stories about
him and his work, the
more be strived for new
heights, and the circle
went on and on.
"Queen to my bishop's
third," he said as he sud
denly broke from his
thoughts and snatched the
piece to its new position.
Almort before his hand
left the piece, Aldo re
plied, "Bishop to your
castle's fourth."
Doctor Pritchard's
mouth fell open, and be
quickly went back into
meditation. Mumbling to
himself and fidgeting
with the buttons on his
vest, he slowly rose from
his chair and viewed
the board from each
side. He hoped that the
different vantage point
would yield new avenues
of conquest to him. There
had to be an opening some
place! Aldo wasn't infall
ible, but he certainly was
proving to be tough. With
a sigh, he carefully sat
again in the chair and

Thanh You!
leaned over the board.
Doctor Pritchard's eyes
strained on the pieces be
fore him with such inten-
sity that perspiration be
gan to bead on his shiny
forehead. . It seemed to
him that the room was
getting warmer every
minute, and the hot sum
shining on the board
seemed to make his oppos
ent's white pieces loom
larger than his own blackr
chessmen. Even though
neither of them had lost
a piece thus far, the
white pieces appeared to(
outnumber the black, and
his path was covered in
every direction he looked.
Doctor Pritchard was not
accustomed to being on
the defensive, and Aldousi
undoubtedly had him in a
very precarious position. .
After many moments of
surveying the board, it,
appeared to Doctor Prit
chard that the only things
he could do at this point
was to stall Aldous by,
blocking with his pawns
and wait for an opening.
"Knight's pawn to the
third, to block your bish-
op," he sputtered out as
he collapsed into his chair f
to wait Aldo's next move.
Before his back had
touched the back of t h e
chair Aldo had called out
his next move. M
"Queen to my castle's
fourth."
This quick response un
nerved Doctor Pritchard'
even more than the last
move, but his move this
time was easy to see. He
would have to run Aldo's
queen out with a pawn.
He had a fine defense set
up with his pawns placed
very nicely in three "v"
formations, one protecting
the next. He did not hesi
tate this time as he quick
ly moved his man.
"Knight's pawn to the
fourth," A slight tone of
confidence returned to his
voice and his eyes began
to lighten. He was on the
offensive once more!
There was little delay
as Aldo came forth with
his next move. "My
knight captures your
pawn."
"That was your first
had mistake," replied
tor Pritchard as he calm
ly picked up Aldo's knight
and placed the pawn from
an adjoining square into
