Chess is not normally played for stakes. My recent devastating defeat of The Other Player yielded no material winnings.

This evening, we played backgammon. In the first game, I played the odds up and down the board, faked my chances and came out 16 Arbitrary Units* ahead. Go me!

In the second game, the play ran from one end to another, the stakes climbed, and I had my posterior handed to me, gift-wrapped. Whoops. Down 32 AUs.
