Thank you so much Elizabeth. btw, a little background to the story is this. I had heard chess stories all my life, just in passing from various family members and my own experiences. One night it occurred to me that chess could be a theme or metaphor through which I could tell my family's story of immigration. I didn't realize until I was almost done, that the story was really about my father dying when I was a teenager, and in fact, I was telling that story through chess. I think every family has a metaphor of some kind that weaves through the family's life.
