Description
- Abstract:
- I don’t remember now how I found him. But somehow I did. The chess champion of Funchal, Madeira. It was a bustling little city of bougainvillea and palm trees and the birthplace of Christopher Columbus’ wife. By stubborn questioning, I somehow unearthed a modest, poorly lit room that served as the local chess club and discovered the unassuming local champ, Ricardo. I had just arrived on a banana boat from Lisbon on a two week escape from family life. I was looking forward to some of the innocent pleasures of a renewed bachelorhood.
