“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.
“Ｉsoon 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 sis- ter.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.”
