Anatoly had his routine for chess. He played his games in the rec room until he was gently reminded of the need for eating or for taking a break. This afternoon he had set up his board on a table outside of his hut - not only to take advantage of the sunshine but to shield himself and his opponent from the prying eyes of one Freddie Trumper. Yes, he might be Jonas's protege but that did not mean he had to be present at every game, especially for this one.

"Black or white?" Anatoly asked as he faced Jonas, an easy smile on his face. They had played many times before but there was nothing quite like the thrill of anticipation, of waiting for the first move and the game to start properly.

If he was honest, Jonas was grateful for the change in scenery for their game. Not that he was avoiding Freddie per say but the other chess master seemed to enjoy making Jonas blush more then help improve his game lately so a chance to concentrate on chess was very welcome.

He considered the possibilities before reaching for the black pieces with an easy smile. "Black, if you are giving me the choice."
