I see nothing other than a simple boardgame

[chesspolitik]

Isn't it strange the complications
People attach to situations
Almost as if they want to miss
The wood for the trees

Nothing will change my basic feeling
When they've done all their wheeler-dealing
Those in the strongest situations
Do as they please -- The Arbiter (Chess)

Svetlana didn't even notice him leaving, as she was in shock. She knew about the other women...Molokov had made sure of that. But a man...

She would do what Molokov asked. Get Anatoly to lose and come home. To Russia as was her duty. But she wasn't sure she could stand him in her home anymore. Not after this betrayal.
