Summary
And maybe family isn’t forever either, perhaps you can’t put a temporal dimension to it, can’t measure it by a chess clock or even a calendar year. But maybe not being alone isn’t a permanent state either. Perhaps there are people that come into your life when you need it, and are there when you need it.

Summary
1975.
“Beth’s okay,” Benny says. The statement is almost too simple for the liminal space they occupy at the moment, themselves and not themselves, spending afternoons stripping away the people they are in favour of just becoming two minds, two minds and a board and a world’s wealth of chess knowledge as they strive to push Beth to her sweetest sharpest limits. It’s exhilarating and exhausting and enthralling; some days it’s awful and brutal and gruelling, and other days it’s like watching a universe being born behind Beth’s eyes, both of them half-hysterical and marvelling.

Summary
Beth's eyes filled with tears, rage pouring through her as she realized the truth. She glared at me, looking up from the chess board and its tantalizing wooden pieces. Her gaze could've burned a hole through me.
"Beth," I started, wishing I had never entered the stupid tournament in the first place. Why did I have to enter the US Championship just to beat her? What kind of sister does that?
"I hate you," she spat, tears dropping from her eyes. I felt something inside of me freeze, the weight of her words sinking into me. Her eyes were so sharp and menacing, and I could tell she was telling me the truth. I wanted to tell myself she didn't mean it, but I'd never seen that look in someone's eyes before. She looked at me like I had ruined her.
