Making Moves: Intimacy at the Board
"Do you play?" he asks. "Try me," she says. One wonders if this couple is interested in chess or something that rimes with it!
And so they "play."
A finger caresses the curve of a bishop, a pawn advances, a rook runs up and down the board, he fidgets with his tie, she brushes his knee under the table. They smile and exchange glances and he asks "how is this game going to end?"
The language of chess is very sexual. I mean what are you supposed to think when a knight puts the queen in "check," or if she's involved in "mating" the enemy king? Soon he declares that he's going to mate her in five moves and says "you might as well surrender now." And things get "taken" in chess. They can also be "pinned" and "skewered" and — gasp — "forked." (Oh, boy!) You just have to make the right moves for a favorable "endgame."
The well-known Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit" goes:
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Anyway...here's a joke: "I onced dated a girl named Checkers and every time she made a move I'd jump her."
