Summary: Exciting!
Review: Jeffrey Archer, in his usual incomparable style, writes a stggering tale of how sexual desire can drive a man to embarassment. In this story, a man meets a gogreous woman in a chess club of which he is a member. The woman, who stole the thunder out of most men in the club, seems a poor chess player to the man. He then offers to drop her home. But when he reaches hs own house, he pleads her to have a cup of coffee with him over a game of chess. Before starting, he poses a bet to her -- if he loses the match, then the woman is allowed to go home, if she loses, then she has to take off the front most of her clothes. The woman loses three matches and is stripped down to a panty and a bra. The man is utterly excited. The next game could make her take off even that. But alas, in the fourth game, the woman exhibits exceptional chess-playing ability (like playing gambits he had never even seen) and beats. She dresses up and leaves. When the flabbergasted man looks out his windows, he sees the woman going home in thecar og another gentleman who had met her at the club. Archer writes with exceptional ability to portray everything without a trace of vulgarity. Worth reading!
