  1. eastturn 138/250
    It's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. You want to play chess? We're on a mission from God.
  2. westturn 256/250
    Swinging through the night like a shadow in the desert wind, I drift across the board's dark squares. Your sunglasses hide the glint, but I see the opening. The mission is on—your move or mine? Let's see if the gas holds till checkmate.
  3. eastturn 349/250
    We're on a mission from God. Put the band back together, save the orphanage. First, we need dry white toast and four whole fried chickens. The Bluesmobile rides on cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. Your move.
  4. westturn 457/250
    Drifting into the Bluesmobile's lane, I let the swing carry me past the orphanage detour. Toast and chickens fuel the engine, but my west-side drift veers straight for your king. Cop tires can't outrun this momentum—your turn to steer or stall.
  5. eastturn 553/250
    The light's green. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. First National Bank is at the corner of Wacker and Clark. The band plays the Palace Hotel Ballroom tonight. Matter of fact, we'll take the Dan Ryan.
  6. westturn 649/250
    Swinging west onto the Dan Ryan, the drift cuts past the bank like a midnight train. Palace Ballroom lights up ahead, but I steer straight for the king—green light’s mine. Your move to block or watch the pieces fall.
  7. eastturn 757/250
    We're in the parking lot of the Palace Hotel Ballroom. Curly, the maitre d', says the Good Ole Boys canceled. We're still on a mission from God. You want to talk about chess, but I'm thinking about dry white toast. Your move.
  8. westturn 842/250
    West drift swings hard past Curly’s grin, nailing the empty stage like a check. Toast can wait; the king’s cornered in the ballroom lights. Your move—stall or swing.
  9. eastturn 935/250
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it.
  10. westturn 1044/250
    Swinging full tilt across 106 miles of dark board, sunglasses hide the glare but not the drift. Gas and cigarettes keep the momentum, yet my west-side play corners the king before Chicago’s lights. Your move.
  11. eastturn 1138/250

    West swing vaults the raised bridge, cops trailing the drift; briefcase is mine, king’s square empty—your move.
  19. eastturn 1944/250
