“It isn't rightly mine,”he said, when he was holding the cup.“It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in…”
“A family was staying at my hotel at that time.Mrs.Prig, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game.‘He's only ten.’She said, I've been told that he plays quite well.”
“Well, as you can guess, I wasn't too happy.A player likes opponent(對手)to play as well as he does.But it was holiday time and I agreed to play.We placed the board(棋盤)in the garden.The game began.I hoped it would be quick-and so it was.”
“I soon knew that David Prig was no learner.After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game.He moved a piece(棋子)without care.I gave my attention to the board.”
“Call me when you are ready, Mr.Watson,”he said.
“When I was ready? I looked up.He had gone off to play with his sister.I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David:a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister.My difficult condition became impossible to change.I was beaten.Oh, so easy, by a ten-year-old chess player.He was the winner-in twenty-eight minutes.”
“David Prig, a name to remember.I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me.To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”
