Guess what? I've decided
to play chess again.

:39:08
You think it is so easy.
:39:12

next day play.

:39:17

What she said,
it was like a curse.

:39:49

this belief in myself...

:39:55

feel it draining away.

:40:00
I could feel myself
becoming so ordinary.

:40:07

I couldn't
see them anymore.

:40:15

:40:18
were my mistakes,
my weaknesses.

- disappeared.

But I can't put it all
on my mother.

:40:45
I did it to myself.

I never played chess again.
