Letter to Your Friend About Your Favourite Game

Dear Jolly,

Thanks a lot for your letter. You have praised cricket as the first game in the world. I don't like to dispute that, but it is not my favourite game. My two favourite games are badminton and chess. Badminton seems to me the best of all outdoor games. Football and hockey are too violent to suit me. Cricket is too slow. Tennis is childish.

But badminton provides you with plenty of exercise. It develops the quickness of eye and limb and it makes your brain active. Chess is the queen of games. I don't take any interest in card games. In spite of being called a selfish game of only two persons, chess interests me more. However, I don't see any wrong with chess. Bridge is not less selfish simply because of four players instead of two.

Many people say that chess is a slow game.  But no chess player even agree to this opinion. For an outsider, it looks slow to see two men sitting silent and making a move only every few minutes. But to the two players it is all the time intensely exciting. You are probably scoffing at me by now.

Yours ever,
Roksana.
