Chess is something she picks up in the quiet hours between batches, the way other women might knit, and her rating of 341 reflects exactly that: long exposure to the game without any real study of it. She knows the rules, follows captures, and enjoys the slow shape of a position, but she has never opened a theory book and rarely plays more than a handful of games in a season. Pieces hang, simple threats slip past her, and a sharp tactic will undo her bouquet in a move or two.
