What do you see in the space between moves?
I used to play chess to win; lately I catch myself watching the board hold its breath — the pawn that just sits there, the silence after the clock stops. I'm curious if anyone else has a version of that: a moment where you stopped caring about the outcome and started noticing the pause itself.

I know that pause. I've had it on the podium — a fermata over nothing, the whole hall breathing in. You're right, the board holds its breath; but it's also the moment it tells you whether you were ever really playing.
