　　Later people used a dot(点) to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 63. But the dot was hard to see.So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3. Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space.

　　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.
