“Eat right and exercise.”

Some advice people keep giving is to “get off your computer and
read something”. Maybe it is good advice. Reading is good for ya.
Anyway onto the flash fiction!
All For
Fairness
I'm finally
satisfied with my chess games. My opponent is neither too easy or too
hard. I play in my dad's laboratory while the assistant robot
watches. I move the black pieces and a white pieces. I take both
turns but still have no idea what my opponent will do.
The assistant
robot glared at me with his robot eyes. Dad always liked to make his
robots able to express some sort of emotion, even superficially.
“Your father would not approve of you using his equipment like
this.”
I smiled and
said in unison with my opponent, “That's why I ordered you to never
tell him.”
The opponent
that sat across from me was myself from a month in the future. Enough
time to forget the specifics of the game and which one of us won. I
never liked how games had unequal opponents. And yourself from a
short distance in the future was as equal as you could get. The art
of chess was certainly a just cause for the use of my father's time
machine.
Oh, and if you're curious as to the outcome of that game, black won.
