Waston won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (南部象棋大师) in 1977. He was given the silver (银) cup. "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 (旅馆) at that time. Mrs Prag, 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 the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick and so it was. "I soon knew that David Prag 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 easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner-in twenty-eight minutes. "David Prag: 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." |
