THE MATCH WAS DRAWN

It was a midnight. I really hadn't thought for a while that what should I do. I kept awake at 2 A.M. as I turned my afternoon slump to huge 3 hours sleep. So I logged on to chess over my batter-problem suffering laptop and started playing live chess with some random guy, he is from some Macedonia country I even didn't heard this country's name before. We're moving on, didn't talk for a while and only concentrate on playing chess. Initially I was ahead with taking his bishop extra, I thought he would resign but knew at other hand that he has 1442 points which is far better than mine 1378, but the way he played is of unique mentality I clearly seeing. After some instances and moves he has 3 chess-men ahead than me by his wonderful moves that ultimately leads me to write 'You played very well'. After 2 moves he replied "u2 (You too)" and then he again sent me a message "Hari Om", I was shocked and thinking about him that he might be an Indian because now a days Indian ruling at the each corner of World. I replied "Are you Indian?" After sending a message and didn't get a reply for moment from him which increases my curiosity to an extreme level so I opened his profile in a new tab and got him in his profile picture as an old mature English man but not an Indian guy which I assumed before. 

The chat was moving on and I gotta know that he doing Yoga regularly. He knew many of it's exercises, we even talked about the Surya-Namaskar. I felt very proud to let him know about World's Yoga Day which is on June 21 every year and that was an initiative by my prime minister Narendra Modi who urged worldwide for the declaring atleast one day for Yoga in his first United Nations Assembly's speech.

At the end of our game, he was very happy that he gotta know about this new information and got a friend from India who himself (sometimes :P) indulge in Yoga activities and I was happy that I gotta know that yes India's origin Yoga keeping people healthier worldwide. 

He was at almost winning stage, I tried hard in game but ultimately he was upto win then only he had again shocking me by offering a 'Draw' just before one move of his win. I asked him about offering me a draw, he replied with saying that "because you concentrating on giving a very important news to me instead of game properly that's why I offered a Draw". I couldn't understand properly that time what he is saying because intensity of game was high I even trying to show good defense but ultimately I don't know why I accepted his offer. The game turns to drawn, he has given his win to our friendship. He may loose that match but win my heart completely. I learnt many things from him not only the chess skills but also the behavior of talking and how one can won other's heart. I later regretted for a while that why I accepted his offer I must resigned that game instead of choosing a draw, which might not affect so much because I have a habit of representing loosing side many times either.
