Ben stood outside the chess club with his coat still buttoned. Through the glass door, he saw serious faces and large wooden boards. He knew how the pieces moved, but he had never played against anyone except his little brother.
A woman called Salma opened the door and invited him inside. Ben immediately said he was not very good. 'That is useful information,' she replied. 'I will find you a friendly first game, not the strongest player in the room.'
She introduced him to Eric, who explained each move slowly. Ben lost the game, but he found a clever way to save his queen. Eric asked him to show the move again because another beginner could learn from it.
Before leaving, Ben checked the club calendar. There was a beginners' evening the next week. He wrote his name on the list and finally took off his coat. He had time for one more game before the club closed.
