In his small, basement apartment, cluttered with chess boards and chess pieces, old Jeremiah Hawthorn sits at a chess board, listening absently, while two hard men talk to him. They want him to take a $1000 payout for his right, title and interest in the old chess club on East 20th as the last surviving member. Considering nobody has entered the club in over 40 years, and it isn't worth more than $50, why would they be so interested in paying so much. And what will happen if Jeremiah refuses?
